I'm having exactly the same problem. One employee I was able to approve some of their timesheets but not able to approve anymore. So frustrating!

I have followed the instructions from the link and everything is set up correctly.

As stated I was able to approve all but 1 of the 5 timesheets logged for the employee.

I again logged out of both MYOB Teams and MYOB and tried to approve the 1 timesheet that I cannot approve.

I have been able to approve timesheets submitted for this week.

Hi, MelBax. Thank you for your post.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Aside from the resolution mentioned on this thread, can you please try the following steps:

Log out of MYOB Team&nbsp;
 Go to the Payroll tab, and choose the Payroll Categories button&nbsp;
 Find the Base Hourly category and ensure that is is exactly named Base Hourly. It is case sensitive, and cannot be anything else, eg base hourly or Base Hourly Wages&nbsp;
 In the Base Hourly Category, click on Employee, and ensure the relevant employee is marked with a tick.
 Click OK.&nbsp;
 Approving Manager should now be able to successfully approve timesheets.

Yes I have done all of the above.&nbsp; It is strange that I can approve some of the employee's (ie same employee) timesheets eg Monday, Wednesday, Thursday &amp; Friday's but not Tuesdays.&nbsp;&nbsp;
