Employment Hero lets you convert leave entries into timesheet submissions. With this, you no longer have to manually track and reconcile leave entries for employees prior to upcoming pay runs. This feature significantly reduces the risk of missing approved leaves, miscalculations, and incorrect pays.
Configuring leave to timesheets settings
Enable leave to timesheet conversion
- Click Settings on the left-hand side menu.
- Under Time & Attendance, click Timesheets.
- Toggle the switch button on for Leave to timesheets. The switch is on if it is purple.
- Click the Save button on the lower right-hand side of your screen.
Getting started
Leave entries eligible for timesheet creation
A leave entry is only eligible for automatic timesheet creation if it meets the following conditions:
- The leave has been approved.
- The leave request is linked to a work type.
- The work type linked is eligible for the employee.
Leave requests converted to timesheets will appear under the "Approved Leave Requests" pink banner in Timesheet Management.
Leave entries that have already been successfully converted into timesheets will not appear on this list anymore.
Create timesheets from approved leave
- Click Time on the left-hand side menu.
- Under Timesheets, click Timesheets Management.
- Click the Approved Leave Requests pink banner to see all leave entries that can be converted into timesheets.
- You can click the name of each employee on the list to view their approved leave entries, grouped by leave category.
- A small yellow icon, which you can hover your mouse over, will appear for any leave category where the leave duration does not match the calculated timesheet hours.
- For each day, these details can be edited except for the date:
- Date.
- Leave duration (hours and minutes).
- Start time.
- End time.
- Work site.
- Position.
- Leave type.

- Specific employees: Tick the checkboxes for the names of the employees needed.
- Specific timesheet entries: Tick only the checkboxes for each entry needed.
- Click the Create Timesheets button in the upper right-hand side corner of the pink banner.
- The feature will flag if your converted timesheets overlap with any existing timesheet submissions from the employee.
-
A summary pop-up will appear. Click the Done button to close it.
