Approvers and Proxy Approvers cannot approve their own timesheets. If the Approver or Proxy Approver is part of the same Timesheet Organization he/she is approving, a different Approver must be set up to approve that timesheet by overriding the Routing Queue. The department’s Superuser will designate who will serve as the Override Approver.

NOTE: The Override Approver only needs to be designated once in the Override Approvals Queue (NBAJQUE). It does not have to be repeated for each pay period. The Override Approvals Queue should only be used for Approver or Proxy Approver timesheets.
