Go to Settings › Time & productivity › Manual time.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Require reason | People must give a reason when they add time |
| Require approval | Manual time counts only after it's approved |
| Approver | Who can approve: Admin, Manager, Self, or any mix |
| Individual settings | Allow or Deny manual time per person, or Deny for all |
Keep manual time allowed, with a reason and approval. Turning it off doesn't make the record more accurate; it just hides real work the timer missed.
