ApproveThis manages your Timeero Integration approvals.

When Time Tracking Meets Approval Automation

Let's be real - most companies treat time tracking and approval processes like separate headaches. You've got field teams clocking hours in Timeero, managers chasing email threads for approvals, and finance teams playing detective during payroll. It's messy. It's slow. And it's costing you more than just time.

Here's where things get interesting. When you connect ApproveThis' approval automation with Timeero's workforce tracking through Zapier, you create a system where time-sensitive decisions actually keep up with your mobile workforce. No more approval bottlenecks holding up payroll. No more unsigned-off hours triggering accounting department meltdowns.

Why This Combo Works for Mid-Sized Companies

For teams of 50-5,000 employees, especially those with field operations or client billable hours, this integration solves three core problems:

• Audit-proof tracking: Every clock-in, job change, or schedule update can automatically trigger approval workflows
• Cross-team visibility: Field managers approve hours without needing Timeero logins, finance gets structured data for payroll

Take construction companies - they're using Timeero to track crew hours on job sites. With ApproveThis, any overtime automatically routes to project managers for approval before hitting accounting. No more "Where did these extra hours come from?" emails at month-end.

Real-World Workflows That Don't Waste Everyone's Time

1. Clock-In Verification for Distributed Teams

When a field technician clocks in through Timeero's GPS tracking, ApproveThis can:

• Immediately notify their supervisor via email (no app login required)
• Show exact location, job site details, and shift notes
• Auto-approve if within 15 minutes of scheduled start time

For healthcare staffing agencies, this means knowing exactly when temp nurses arrive at facilities - with automated escalations if someone's running late.

2. Job Approval Chains That Actually Move

New client project in Timeero? ApproveThis can kick off multi-step approvals:

1. Sales director confirms contract terms
2. Operations manager assigns crew
3. Finance greenlights budget

A marketing agency used this to reduce project setup time from 3 days to 4 hours. Their secret? Approval thresholds that auto-approve small-budget jobs while flagging larger ones.

3. Schedule Approvals That Respect Time Zones

When managers create schedules in Timeero, ApproveThis adds:

• Vacation delegation (auto-reassigns approvals if someone's OOO)
• Shift conflict checks using calculated fields
• Compliance confirmations for union shops

A logistics company cut scheduling errors by 62% using location-based approval rules - no more accidentally approving night shifts that violate local labor laws.

Setting This Up Without IT Involvement

Here's the beautiful part - your approvers don't need another software login. Setup takes about 15 minutes:

1. Connect Timeero and ApproveThis through Zapier
2. Choose triggers like:
   • New clock-in/out events
   • Job creation/modification
   • Schedule updates
3. Build approval workflows with:
   • Conditional thresholds (auto-approve under $500)
   • Escalation rules
   • Dynamic fields pulling Timeero data

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag timecard discrepancies before they reach approvers. Example: If hours worked + travel time exceed 14, require safety compliance approval.

Department-Specific Wins

Operations Teams

Reduce "Where are we on this?" status meetings by 73% (actual result from a manufacturing client). Real-time approval dashboards show exactly which jobs are awaiting sign-off, complete with Timeero location data.

Finance Teams

Slash payroll processing time using auto-exported, pre-approved hours. One SaaS company processed $287k in contractor payments without a single revision by tying ApproveThis thresholds to their billing system.

HR Teams

Onboard temp workers faster with automated compliance checks. When a new hire clocks their first Timeero shift, ApproveThis verifies completed training docs and manager assignments before payroll activation.

The Hidden Advantage: Client-Friendly Approvals

For service businesses billable hours approval is crucial. With ApproveThis:

• Clients approve Timeero hours via email (no login)
• Auto-remind at 24/48hrs before deadline
• Lock down hours once approved

A consulting firm using this combo reduced client billing disputes by 89% while getting paid 12 days faster on average.

Making It Work For Your Team

This isn't about adding more processes - it's about eliminating the crap that slows you down. Start with one pain point:

• Field teams constantly adjusting timesheets? Automate overtime approvals
• Projects delayed waiting for sign-offs? Build parallel approval paths
• Client billing disputes eating your soul? Implement client-facing approval flows

The integration works because it respects how people actually work. Approvers stay in email. Field teams stay in Timeero. And you stop playing approval traffic cop.
