Change reason
Corrections should explain why time changed instead of silently replacing the original record.

Timesheet corrections need reasons, history, and review context
CabuzTime makes corrections part of the labor record, showing what changed, who changed it, when it changed, and why before approved time moves downstream.
What matters
What a clean timesheet correction trail should show.
Review history
Returned, rejected, approved, and corrected records should stay tied to the timesheet workflow.
Report visibility
Managers and finance should be able to review correction history before using approved labor output.
A correction trail should explain the final record.
Corrections happen in real timekeeping workflows. The issue is whether the system preserves enough context to explain the final approved record. CabuzTime keeps the corrected time, the reason for the change, and the surrounding approval context visible.
That helps managers and finance distinguish a normal correction from a missing explanation that needs follow-up before the record moves downstream.
Manager review should not disappear after a correction.
When time is returned, rejected, corrected, and approved, each step should stay tied to the timesheet flow. CabuzTime is built around controlled review so corrections do not silently overwrite submitted time.
A reviewer should be able to see how the record changed and whether the final approved labor record still makes sense.
Finance should see correction history before export.
Correction reporting gives finance a way to check changed hours, employees, dates, descriptions, and reasons before using approved time for payroll, accounting, or reports. The goal is simple: do not make finance reconstruct timekeeping history after the fact.
