The Timesheet Management feature allows managers to submit timesheets on behalf of their team members. You can submit a single timesheet entry or up to a week's worth of timesheets at once, with the ability to reuse previous week's data for faster submission.

The feature also lets you view, edit, and delete timesheets you have submitted on behalf of employees as required.

Getting started

This section will walk you through the different ways you can submit timesheets on behalf of your team members.

Submit a single timesheet (Quick Add)

Use Quick Add when you need to submit a single timesheet entry for one employee for one day.

  1. Click the   Time menu.
  2. Click the Timesheet Management submenu.
  3. Click Quick Add.
  4. Select the Employee from the dropdown menu.
  5. Select the Date for the timesheet entry.
  6. If the employee has a rostered shift for this date, you can:
    • Select the shift from the Rostered shifts dropdown.
    • Click Auto-fill as rostered to automatically populate the timesheet details from the roster.

    • Reuse previous weekly timesheet: Click this button to copy data from the employee's previous week's timesheets. You can select which fields to copy (Work Type, Shift Conditions, Classification, Notes).
    • Manual entry: Enter the timesheet data directly into each row.
  7. For each day, complete the following columns (available columns depend on your organisation's settings):
    • Date - Pre-populated for the selected week.
    • Break Start and Break End (if enabled).
    • Total Hours/Units - Enter the total time worked.
    • Additional columns may include: Cost Centre, Work Site, Work Type, Position, Shift Conditions, Notes, and Rostered Shift.
  8. To add multiple entries for the same day, click the + icon inside the shift card.
  9. To delete a row, click the delete icon in the Actions column.
  10. Review the Total hours displayed at the bottom of the dialog.
  11. Click Save. The timesheets will be added as individual entries to the Timesheet Management page.
