# Timesheet approval

This process can be downloaded and imported into your Workflow Automation instance. The downloadable JSON file is at the bottom of this page. For information on importing processes, refer to [this guide](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/workflow-automation/admin-guide/processes/process-importing.md).

This process app is for hourly employees to submit their timesheets for approval to their manager. When the employee starts the request, their name, department, and manager will autofill; all they have to do is enter their time. The timesheet portion of the form is a prebuilt grid with calculations already in place. It’ll take the hours worked from start to finish and subtract any break times, leaving you and your employee the final sum total of hours worked per week.

This process, just like any Workflow Automation process, can be started and saved as a draft. That way, employees can log their time as the week goes on and keep track without having to fill everything out at the end of the week.

Afterward, it’ll route to the manager for approval or rework, notify the employee of their manager’s choice, and be sent to payroll for processing. Workflow Automation allows for this data to feed directly into your payroll system with the use of the API task laid out in the process below.
