Convert approved time off requests to timesheets

Available for the following plans: Lite, Plus, Unlimited HR, Unlimited HR+Payroll
Time & Attendance Add-on
Available for the following user access level: Admin

Employment Hero lets you convert time off entries into timesheet submissions. With this, you no longer have to manually track and reconcile time off entries for employees prior to upcoming pay runs. This feature significantly reduces the risk of missing approved leaves, miscalculations, and incorrect pays.

Configuring time off to timesheets settings

Enable time off to timesheet conversion

  1. Click Settings on the left-hand side menu.
  2. Under Time & Attendance, click Timesheets.
  3. Toggle the switch button on for Time off to timesheets. The switch is on if it is purple.
  4. Click the Save button on the lower right-hand side of your screen.

Getting started

Time off entries eligible for timesheet creation

A time off entry is only eligible for automatic timesheet creation if it meets the following conditions:

  • The time off has been approved.
  • The time off request is linked to a work type.
  • The work type linked is eligible for the employee.

Time off requests converted to timesheets will appear under the "Approved Time Off Requests" pink banner in Timesheet Management. 

Time off entries that have already been successfully converted into timesheets will not appear on this list anymore.

Create timesheets from approved time off

  1. Click Time on the left-hand side menu.
  2. Under Timesheets, click Timesheets Management.
  3. Click the Approved Time Off Requests pink banner to see all time off entries that can be converted into timesheets.
  4. You can click the name of each employee on the list to view their approved time off entries.
  5. If needed, you can edit the pre-filled details for each entry.
  6. You can create timesheets for the following:

    1. All eligible entries: Tick the Select All checkbox.
    2. Specific employees: Tick the checkboxes for the names of the employees needed.
    3. Specific timesheet entries: Tick only the checkboxes for each entry needed.

  8. A summary pop-up will appear. Click the Done button to close it.

    Important

    The timesheets created from the time off entries still need to be approved.
