How it works
Employment Hero allows employees to submit timesheets using a unit measurement. This allows employees to record a total amount of units rather than hours and have the information linked to a custom work type. For example, an employee can enter the total distance travelled; needed to claim a reimbursement; rather than entering the total amount of hours travelled.
