Time Card Approval when using ProjectTimecardApprovalELA

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

Hi, We currently have Payroll and Project consumer types setup, however we only have approvals setup for ProjectTimecardApprovalELA. TimeCardApproval is set to auto-approve.

What we are finding is that time cards that have been submitted but not approved by the project managers defined on the ProjectTimecardApprovalELA, when we run the transfer to payroll process, the payroll time entries are transferring to payroll. Assume this is because TimeCardApproval is set to auto-approve?

Is there anyway to get around this without having to setup an approval rule for TimeCardApproval and ProjectTimecardApprovalELA?
