Entries typically include:

Hours worked (regular, overtime if applicable)
Some systems allow attaching notes or supporting details.
2. Approval Levels
After submission, timesheets usually go through multi-level approval depending on company policy:
Manager / Supervisor Approval
First-level approval by reporting manager to check correctness of work hours and allocation.
Project Manager / Functional Lead Approval (if applicable)
Ensures hours are correctly charged to the right project or cost center.
HR / Finance Approval
Final check for payroll, billing, or compliance before processing.
3. Workflow

Approver reviews & approves/rejects.
If rejected, employee gets feedback to correct.
Approved timesheets move forward for payroll processing, client billing, or project reporting.
