Each employee should sign and certify his or her time sheet and then have it approved by a supervisor or designated authority for key managers at the top of the organization.
Electronic time sheet systems should use passwords or other access controls to prevent employees from accessing supervisor or approval fields.
No one should approve his or her own time sheet.
When an employee works in more than one office, management should designate one supervisor at each location to approve the individual's time sheet prior to certifying it for payment.
Review managers' overtime requests carefully because policies usually prohibit managers from receiving overtime.
