## What "Rejected" means

If your supervisor finds something to correct, your timesheet comes back with the status **Rejected**. That unlocks it: you can edit your existing time activities and add new ones for that period again.

## 1. Read the rejection reason

Your supervisor's comment appears on the timesheet. For example, missing hours for a specific day. It tells you exactly what to fix.

## 2. Make the correction

Fix what the comment asks for: edit an existing activity, or add the missing time. In this example, we add a new time activity for the missing date.

## 3. Resubmit for approval

Send the timesheet again, the same way you did the first time.

Your timesheet is back to **Pending**, and your supervisor will review it again. Every change you made is recorded, part of what keeps your company's time records audit-ready.
