In your organisation, you may have employees who need to submit a timesheet that lists out what hours they worked and the breaks they took over their last working week. By utilising an online timesheet submission system, your employees can submit their hours wherever they are, be it in the office or in the field. With this information sent through to their manager to review and approve.
The Submitting a Timesheet for an Employee feature allows your organisation's payroll admins to submit a timesheet for any employee. They can specify details such as the start and end time of the shift and breaks taken, the work type it falls under, and the location. You can also use this feature to add an employee's standard hours, copy timesheets from the last fortnight, and edit any information if it has changed.
Important
If you are submitting a timesheet on behalf of a contractor, please ensure that you do this in Employment Hero. It is not possible to submit timesheets for contractors in the Payroll classic platform. For more information, visit this article.
