Overview
Within your organisation, you may have employees who need to submit a timesheet that lists out what units they have worked and the breaks they took over their last working week. By utilising an online timesheet submission platform, your employees can submit their units worked wherever they are, be it in the office or the field, with this information sent through to their manager to review and approve on the spot.
The HR Manager Timesheet feature allows you to approve or decline employee timesheets either in bulk or individually, and also submit an entry for one of your employees. You can also use this feature to edit a timesheet entry and delete a record if it is no longer required. To use this timesheet type, you need to create the work type within the payroll platform. To read further details on how to enable this feature, refer to the following guide.

So you have now managed your employee timesheets and you are now wondering what next can I do. There are two recommendations I would make on this front and they are:
- Employee leave management | HR Web Platform This feature allows you to approve or decline employee submitted leave requests, with the ability to see their leave balance and any conflicting leave requests.
- Expense management | HR Web Platform This feature allows you to approve, approve pending further information, or decline employee expense claims either in bulk or individually.
