Time And Labor User and Approver Security Roles/Privileges Requirements

Summary:

I need users to be able to submit timecards and the managers to be able to approve. We are not using HCM so I cannot assign the Employee or Line Manager roles. They ping too many licenses for HCM so I have to pull out the individual roles/privileges for each responsibility and assign them to two other roles.

Current role configuration:

User role: When this role is assigned to the user with seeded Line Manager role assigned to manager, the approval never hits the managers bell. When I add back the NCS Employee role it works. Please help me identify any privileges that are missing.
