Get the weekly timesheet status of employees
Lists, per employee the caller may see, the timesheet status (Empty / Open / Closed / Approved) of each week in a date range.
The API form of TimeLog's timesheet status report: a manager's or payroll's overview of who has not submitted or not been approved yet. Each employee comes back once per page with their current approval manager and department and a Details list of weeks. The statuses are read from the pre-computed timesheet-status aggregation (refreshed in the background after registrations / approvals change), not computed live like GET /v1/approval/timesheets/get-status-by-period, and they are coarser: rejected weeks show as Open (or Empty), and every "submitted but not fully approved by the employee manager" state shows as Closed. Paging is per employee-WEEK row, not per employee: with the default page size of 10 a four-week range returns only two or three employees per page, an employee can be split across two pages, and TotalRecord counts rows. Ask for a large $pagesize (no maximum is enforced) and merge Details by EmployeeUserID.
Use it to:
- Payroll cut-off dashboard: which employees still have Open or Closed weeks in the pay period.
- Weekly reminder bot: employees with Open weeks, grouped by approval manager.
Not for:
- Exact, real-time per-day status before exporting time — use
GET /v1/approval/timesheets/get-status-by-period(live, per day, distinguishes Rejected).
Behaviour:
- Idempotent.
- Safe to retry.
Call first: GET /v1/user
Next: GET /v1/approval/timesheets/get-status-by-period
See also: GET /v1/approval/timesheets/get-status-range-by-nearby-week-of-year
