Shift Timesheets

To see the time that workers are clocking on individual shifts in a job's Schedule, navigate to the Job first, then select the schedule tab. Once you're there:

  1. Hover on the worker's name in the Schedule or on a shift they worked

  2. Select ••• to open the drop-down menu

  3. Select "View Timesheet"

  4. A sidebar will open showing you their shifts and any clock-ins or clock-outs

Approving Shift Timesheets

Once the end time for a shift has passed, it will be labeled on the schedule as "Ready for Review."

To approve:

  1. Select ••• to open the drop-down menu

  2. Select "View Timesheet"

  3. Review entries

  4. Select "Approve"

The shift will now be labeled as "Approved." The option "Mark As Paid" will appear where the approval option was. This is to mark the shift as paid when issuing the payroll for this worker.

Enter and Edit Time

Input time on behalf of workers

Workers can clock in and out of scheduled shifts from the worker mobile app. If a worker forgets to clock in, the agency can adjust the time entry to reflect the worker's actual start time.

  • Clock-in times are bound by the times indicated by the schedule, so a manager cannot clock in on behalf of a worker more than 2 hours before a shift begins.

  • A clock-in time cannot overlap with the previous shift and must fall at least one minute after the previous clock-out time.

Edit time entries

You can edit time entries by selecting the bolded "Clock-in" or "Clock-out" text. The details of the entry will expand below. To edit the entry, select "Make an Edit."

  • Edited time entries will display the name of who edited them, and the reason for the edit

  • There is no limit to the number of times that an entry can be edited

  • Managers can request edits to a timesheet submission

  • Clock-in and clock-out times cannot be more than 16 hours apart

  • Clock-in time cannot be after the shift end time

  • Clock-in time cannot be in the future

Export timesheets

On the Workers tab, click "Export Timesheets" to export all timesheets within a chosen date range. If you only want to export timesheets for specific workers, select them first, then click "Export Timesheets".
