Release Working Time |
ESS | ||
Update the following table as necessary when this document is changed.
Perform this procedure when time has been entered and needs to be 'Released' for approval.
Business Process Procedure Overview |
Employee Self-Service (ESS) enables employees to perform their own administrative tasks in support of life and work events.
The Release Working Time Data service is located in the 'My Working Time' Workset in ESS. Employees will use this service to 'Release' their time for approval. The process of 'releasing' time is a subsequent step for Time Approval. Supervisors and Time Administrators will not be able to approve employees' time until it has been released.
