Timesheet and expense basics
Statuses of timesheets and expense claims explained:
Missing: Timesheets that should be received during a specified date range but have not yet been created.
Draft: Saved but not yet submitted. There are no draft expenses.
Submitted: Created and submitted for approval. Submitted timesheets and expenses cannot be modified so please ensure the details are correct before submitting.
Approved: Approved by your manager for payment.
Rejected: Rejected by your manager. This is usually because of incorrect hours or expense lines. The manager may have provided a comment as to why the timesheet or expenses was rejected. Once rejected, the timesheet becomes a draft for editing and resubmitting. Expenses can be edited via the expenses Rejected menu option
Entering your timesheet
To begin, hover over Timesheets from the main menu bar at the top of the screen and select Create.
You will then be prompted to select the placement from the drop down box to enter time against, as well as the
week ending date. You can use the provided calendar popup to help you select the correct date.
After selecting the period you will be presented with a blank timesheet form similar to the screen shot shown below: Enter Hours/Units/Time as applicable for the period selected. The basic rate is selected by default here, so you can start entering your time for each of the days. The total hours (or hours claimed) is calculated automatically.
If you require additional rates, click on the green plus to add a shift and select the appropriate item from the additional rate drop-down.
You can click on Save As Draft to store the timesheet which will allow you to return to this information to edit.
Once you have completed your timesheet click on the Save And Submit button, your timesheet will be sent to your Manager for approval. Please note: You will not be able to make any further edits once the timesheet has been submitted for approval.
