Overview

As an employee, you will need to submit timesheets if your organisation requires you to track the number of units you have worked per day. Timesheet requests allow your manager to see the number of units you have worked over the last week, so they can compare this against your contracted number, with the end goal being approval of the units worked so you receive payment for the days you have worked.

You can use the My Daily Units Based Timesheets feature to submit a timesheet for the units you have worked during the day. With the ability to add details such as a work type or a comment to your entry. You can also use this feature to edit a submitted timesheet if the details changed and delete an entry if it is no longer required. To use this timesheet type, you need to create the work type within the payroll platform. To read details on how to enable this feature, refer to the following guide.
