As a time card user, once a time card for the week is updated with the time worked,
you can submit the time card individually.

## Before you begin

* A time card in the Pending or Rejected state can be submitted.
* Role required: timecard_user
{#submit-time-card__ul_i3r_hs3_qhc}

## About this task

When a user submits a time card, the [time sheet policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Cj7XVOBCYWEFOg_auvO2_Q "Time sheet policies contain the policies to which a time sheet, or a time card must adhere.") assigned to the user is used for validation. If there's no time sheet policy assigned to the user, the default time sheet policy is used. Business rules help prevent a
user from submitting a time card in case any violation is found.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllTime SheetsMy Time SheetsAll.
2. Select the time sheet that you want to submit the time card for.
3. In the Time Card related list, open the time card to submit.
4. Select Submit Time Card.  
   Note:  
   Submit multiple time cards by selecting Submit Time Card from the actions on selected rows menu.

## Result

* The time card moves to the Submitted state.
* The time card is submitted to an approver based on the Project time approver and Non-project time approver field values in the assigned time sheet policy.  
  Note:  
  If the project or user manager is changed after submitting the time card, the time card is automatically redirected to the new project or user manager for approval.
