Half5 lets teams review pending hours by employee, customer, project and week before they reach invoicing, exports, accounting links or agents, so finance can trust the value it sends out.
Approval gives managers one clear business moment between captured work and customer-facing finance. That is where missed hours become defensible revenue.
When approval is enabled, Half5 only offers approved hours to the invoice flow. Pending work stays visible, but not invoice-ready.
Managers see whether a week looks complete before finance turns registrations into customer-facing lines.
Approval keeps customer, project, employee, date and description together, so finance does not inherit mystery hours.
The approval screen is built for scanning: who worked, on which day, for which customer or project, and what deserves a message.
Manual entries and automatic suggestions can be reviewed before they become financial evidence.
The approval table groups work by employee, week, customer, project and day, with weekend columns only when relevant.
A message can keep description, customer, project or day questions attached to the hour before approval.
Approved hours can move toward invoicing, exports, reports, accounting integrations and agent workflows.
The complete control loop stays clear: pending work, hour detail, manager message and approved output.
Managers approve submitted business registrations, not a private activity timeline. That keeps rollout easier to defend.
Smaller teams can move fast, while larger teams add a finance gate before invoicing.
Invoice selection becomes easier when the review moment has already filtered unclear, incomplete or disputed work.
Internal agents and integrations can treat approved hours as a stronger signal than raw time entries.
Automatic recovery creates the value. Approval gives that value confidence for managers, finance and customers.
Recovered minutes only become safe revenue when someone confirms the customer, project and description make sense.
Half5 gives managers the business layer while personal timeline access stays with the user.
Approval, roles, reporting, invoicing and integrations make Half5 feel ready for a real organization.
Mobile access keeps the checkpoint close to the week: submitted work stays visible, context questions stay close and finance keeps moving.
Control before the invoice
Team leads review submitted hours, exceptions and budgets before anything enters the invoice flow.
Managers review exceptions before finance receives clean data, so recovered hours stay explainable.
Even a few missed minutes per person per day become serious revenue across a team.
Accounting, CRM, project systems and agents work with submitted hours, approvals and invoice data.
Half5 shows which revenue can return, what stays personal, which hours finance may use and which systems receive approved data.
Approvals can happen by employee, day, project or exception.
Missing context is visible before finance starts the invoice run.
Clean approved data moves to invoices and accounting.
