By using timesheets correctly, you as a manager can gain clarity about your team's work hours and breaks, while also providing clear guidance to your staff on how to log and submit their timesheets.
Primary and secondary managers can use the Timesheets feature to approve, decline, and edit submissions from their direct reports. Through the Timesheets menu, managers can also adjust entries before approval and offer feedback when a timesheet is declined.

Approve a timesheet for a terminated employee
Timesheets for a terminated employee cannot be approved directly. To approve their timesheets, you will need to follow these steps:
- Reactivate the employee in the Employment Hero platform.
- Approve their timesheets once they are active again.
- Terminate the employee after the timesheets have been approved.
How do I know whether my timesheets have synced to payroll?
Once a timesheet is approved, it will sync to the payroll classic platform. This is indicated by a green clock, which you can hover your cursor over to view sync details.
A red clock indicates that the timesheet has not synced to payroll.
What do I do if my timesheets have not synced to payroll?
If your timesheets have not synced to payroll, do the following:
- Review your Payroll Integrations Issues dashboard for more details.
- Ensure your Employment Hero and Payroll classic platforms are successfully integrated.
- Verify that the employee is set to sync with payroll in their employee file under Pay Details > Pay Run Details
