DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Make time records easier to review without turning a summary into an unchecked payroll or performance decision.

For a permitted purpose, prepare a monthly summary of selected time records for the account owner or finance reviewer. Time entries can be personal, incomplete, or assigned to the wrong project. Explain the use of tracking data, restrict individual records, reconcile totals, dates, and rounding with source entries, avoid performance conclusions, and require the worker or finance owner to approve any payroll submission or external report. Confirm permission and any required notice or consent, minimize private information, respect access and reuse rights, verify claims against current source records, and require an accountable person to approve the exact consequential action.
