We would like to prohibit employees from submitting timesheets before all hours are accounted for based on the scheduled hours.
Employees are submitting timesheets either before all time off hours are imported or are forgetting to input time off or enter it correctly for various reasons; they may leave in an emergency situation, they don't account for lunch times, etc. They then submit their time sheet short of what their scheduled weekly hours should be. It would be great to prohibit employees from submitting until all hours are accounted for. It would allow it to be corrected much much sooner than when it has reached the payroll department and very close to when the payroll needs to be processed and sent out.

Hello!
We have a few options that you can try to resolve some of these scenarios you have listed.
We cannot prohibit employees from submitting timesheets before all hours are accounted for, but you can set a requirement for the employee to select a reason why their timesheet is short on hours when the timesheet is at least X less than their weekly schedule time.
For your approvers, there is a setting where you can display timesheets in a different color when they are under a certain # of hours of their schedule.
If your employees have an annualized rule, you could have a time off record created for any hours you are short.
Thank you,

We do all that you recommend however, that is not meeting our needs that is why we request an enhancement that prohibits an employee from submitting until all hours are accounted for.
If they have to create a time off code such as dock in order for the timesheet to be submitted then they would know what to expect or they would review their sheet better.
When we worked with Marc (Johnson or Jacobson from Skyward) he thought this would help many other districts and make the system better as well.
