01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A newly recorded work period with its available project and task details

“Review new work-time details for completeness and context, and route uncertain entries to the person who recorded them or an authorized reviewer.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps managers and operations staff keep new work-time records organized and identify details that need confirmation.

  1. Review newly recorded work time

    Bring recent entries together with their dates, durations, descriptions, and available project context.

  2. Check the project and task details

    Confirm that each entry appears to belong to the stated work and flag missing or confusing descriptions.

  3. Ask the recorder to clarify gaps

    Give the person who entered the time a chance to explain unclear or unexpected details.

  4. Route entries for appropriate approval

    Send records that need manager, client, or finance review to the person authorized to decide.

  5. Keep corrections and decisions traceable

    Record who reviewed a questioned entry and what change or follow-up was agreed.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A clearly reviewed time entry or a request for clarification before the record is relied on for reporting, payroll, or billing.

The handoff

A clearly reviewed time entry or a request for clarification before the record is relied on for reporting, payroll, or billing.

Keep in mind

An entry may not fully explain the work performed. Do not infer productivity or approve billable time from a record alone; protect employee information and keep consequential corrections or approvals with an authorized person.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose which time entries to review

Select the teams, projects, and review period covered by the process.

Set expectations for useful time details

Agree which dates, durations, project names, and descriptions are needed for a meaningful review.

Assign reviewers and correction owners

Name who may confirm, question, or correct entries and how the person who recorded time can respond.

Protect employee and client information

Limit access to time records and separate ordinary review from sensitive employment or billing decisions.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
