One way in which volunteer hours are recorded in VS is by volunteers submitting a claim for hours worked on opportunities. VS will notify you when a volunteer makes a claim for hours and give you a chance to review and approve them before they are posted.
To approve hours submitted by a volunteer:
Log in to your Agency account (see Logging in to Your Agency Account for instructions, if needed).
On your Agency’s myHome page, click the Overview tab (if not already selected).
Click the link in the Tasks section labeled Approve hours for [number] entry(ies), where [number] represents the number of volunteers making claims for hours.
Review the hours claim(s) listed in the table on the Volunteer Hours page. If you wish to change the number of hours a volunteer is claiming before approving his or her claim, click the Details link on the right side of the entry and follow the instructions in Editing an Hours-Log Entry.
To approve a single hours claim, click the Approve link found in the claim’s Status column, and then click Approve 1 log entry in the Approve Log Entry page that is displayed. To approve multiple hours claims, select the claims you would like to approve by clicking their checkboxes in the first column of the table, change the Select Action drop-down menu to Approve, and then click Do.
