# Why Does This Job Have a Pending Status?

### If a job has a Pending status with timesheets, the week has not been closed.

After jobs have been invoiced, time records are correct, and the steps outlined in the [Payroll Workflow](https://support.maidcentral.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402081503124-Payroll-Workflow) have been completed, the final step is to close the week. This will finalize your payroll and update all jobs in this payroll period to a Closed status.

Be sure that everyone has been clocked out of jobs before closing the week, or techs will no longer be able to clock in/out of those jobs, and time entries won't be able to be edited. To close the week, navigate to **Company > Invoicing & Payroll > Payroll Summary** and select the date range for the week you want to close. Once loaded, you can click **Close Payroll**.
