As an employee, you will need to submit timesheets if your organisation requires you to track your starting and ending times weekly. Timesheet requests allow your manager to see your starting and ending times you have submitted over the last week, so they can compare this against your contracted hours.
You can use the My Weekly Start and End Time Based Timesheets feature to submit a timesheet with your starting and ending times you have worked for the last week, add in any breaks taken, and add any required comments. You can also use this feature to edit the information if it changes and delete a record that is no longer required.
Important
You will need to have enabled the open beta timesheet feature, Weekly Start and End Time Based Timesheets before you can use the new features outlined in this article. You can enable this beta feature via the Beta Flask drop-down and selecting Opt-in, though remember this is still an in development feature and subject to change. To read more on how to enable this in progress beta feature, refer to the following article.
When approved, weekly timesheets will automatically sync over to the payroll platform. When this sync occurs, employees can no longer edit these entries, with only their manager and/or admins being able to change these details. If an employee creates an additional timesheet entry after the sync to payroll occurs, the weekly timesheet submission will change to partially approved.
