This article is for managers who review and approve timecards on the Nory web app. The new Timecards page is in Beta and available to every brand. The previous timecards page is still under Payroll in the left-hand menu if you want to go back to it. The Payroll page is not Nory Pay, which is a separate payroll product. To use the new Timecards page in the Nory Team app, contact Nory Support.

Issues (for example, 2 issues): Nory found something that needs a person to look at the timecard. The Issues column names each issue.
Approved: a person approved the timecard.
Auto-approved: Nory approved the timecard because the timecard passed every rule. To learn more, see "How does Nory approve timecards automatically?"

Approve timecards
You can approve timecards one at a time or several at once.
One timecard: open the timecard and select Approve. If the timecard still has issues, the button reads Approve with [number] issues, so you know you are approving the timecard as it is.
Several timecards: tick the box next to each timecard, or tick the box at the top to select them all, then select Approve [number] timecards.
Undo an approval: select the timecard and choose Unapprove. Timecards older than one month can only be unapproved by someone with the Can override timecards cut off permission.
Nory does not let you approve a timecard that is missing a clock-in or clock-out. The button reads Add a clock-out to approve, Add a clock-in to approve or Add a clock-in and clock-out to approve. Add the missing time, then approve.
Export timecards
Exports give your payroll team the approved hours in the format your payroll provider needs.
Select Export.
Choose a format: This view, including filters, Payroll (totals), Payroll (Nory), Payroll (weekdays), a payroll provider such as ADP, Gusto, Paylocity or Sage, or Break attestations. The list shows only the formats set up for your brand.
