How do you know when logged time is ready to trust?

[#1]

Logged time isn't the same as trusted time.

But teams can now review and approve time without turning it into a heavy admin process.

The goal is simple: make approvals a quick weekly habit, not a month-end scramble.

With Timesheet Approvals, teams can:

• turn approvals on globally

• route approvals to a selected approver or each user’s team manager

• generate weekly or monthly approval periods in bulk

• let each person submit their own timesheet for a specific period

• approve time or request an update with a written explanation

• lock approved worklogs inside Clockwork

This is especially useful for teams that need time data to be ready for billing, reporting, or governance:

• Agencies and professional services teams: close billing cycles with cleaner, client-ready data.

• Finance, PMO, and delivery teams: add a clear review step and audit trail without needing a complex Jira setup.

• Jira admins: keep setup lightweight with one global configuration rather than a custom workflow project.

One important distinction: if you only need to stop people editing past worklogs, Billing Periods may still be the better fit. Timesheet Approvals are for teams that want an explicit review and yes/no approval step before time is considered final.

Timesheet Approvals are available for you to try now in Clockwork Pro or read the documentation for setup steps, approver models, and best practices.

How do you teams handle this today: do you formally approve timesheets in Jira, lock past periods, or rely on reports and manual checks?
