Executive Approval is a high-level, single-click acceptance screen for final sign-off of timesheets. It is primarily used for final bulk sign-off, not investigation. If you want to look into more information around hours / sign ins you would use Detailed Approval or Approval by Site.
Click on Chime Time Tile
Open Executive Approval Tab
The screen shows an aggregated summary of timesheet hours. You can filter by Site, Person or Trade
Review the summary
If needed, drill into an individual by going to Approval by Site or Detailed Approval — but primarily this screen is for final bulk sign-off, not investigation.
Click the green Approval All button on the bottom right.
You can then export the data ready for payroll
NB: Report can be customisable CSV/Excel matching your payroll software format.
Use Case
Executive Approval will usually be a payroll manager or director role level.
💡 Tips
Only use Executive Approval after Detailed Approval and Approval by Site have resolved all exceptions — this screen is not designed for investigation, it's the final gate.
Post-executive approval edits are only possible by users with Super User Payroll privileges, and will create a variation record. Some organisations lock periods after executive sign-off to prevent changes entirely.
The Executive Approval step is optional — not all companies need it. Configure it only if your process requires a director or senior manager sign-off before payment is authorised.
