Using timesheets2:39

"How do I use timesheets?"

Timesheets track the number of hours that a person works:

  • If you're paid hourly, timesheets set how much pay you're paid on payday.
  • For everyone else, timesheets are still a good way to track your hours worked, even if it's not linked to your pay.

To open your timesheet:

  1. First, tap: Work-time menuTimesheet
  2. Or tap: MenuMy timesheet
  3. For another way to open your timesheet, open your person page.
  4. Then tap: Calendar
  5. You can now tap the grey week number circles (at the start of each week), to show you that week's timesheets.
  6. And finally, if you go back and tap any date on the calendar you'll see the timesheet for that day.

To go backwards or forwards, a day at a time, through your timesheets:

  1. First, tap the side triangles on the left and right edges of the timesheet.
  2. And finally, you can tap the heading triangles (at the top).

To open your full timesheet, if your timesheet's side loaded:

  1. First, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  2. Then tap: Open in new tab
  3. And finally, you'll see the timesheet in the main window, and you'll have access to all of the timesheet's menus.

To add a timesheet time:

  1. First, normally you'd tap Start and Finish on the work-time menu, as you set starts and stops throughout your working day.
  2. Alternatively, if you're an admin, you can tap the "Add" button:
  3. Which lets you enter a time manually, by dragging the green sliders.
  4. Then tap: Save
  5. And finally, you'll now see the time you've entered, as well as the updated total done time for your working day.

You may notice:

  • When you manually change a time by dragging the sliders, once it's saved it's got a red outline.
  • The red outline represents a: "Manually adjusted time"
  • The red outlines help you see when times were adjusted by hand, making it easier to spot timesheet fraud.
  • The recommended way to enter done time is by using Start and Finish in: Work-time menu (top-right)

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about how to start using timesheets!

Starting, and going on break2:31

"How do I start my clocked-in timesheet time, or pause for a break?"

If you're paid using "Per hour ... timesheet hours", you'll need to start your clocked-in timesheet time each day, when you start your work.

To start your clocked-in timesheet time:

  1. First, open and tap: Work-time menuStart
  2. And finally, you've now started your clocked-in timesheet time, and your work-time status goes green.

To pause your clocked-in timesheet time, once you're ready to go on break:

  1. First, tap: Work-time menuGo on break
  2. You'll now see the "On break" screen, counting how long you've been on break.
  3. It's a good idea to keep it open, as a reminder to go "off break" once you return.
  4. Then once you're ready to continue working.
  5. Hover your mouse over: I'm on break
  6. And tap: I'm back
  7. And finally, (at the top) you'll see a confirmation that you've re-started your clocked-in timesheet time.

Sometimes, after being on break, you may want to finish up your working day.

To finish up, while still on break:

  1. First, check that you're still on break.
  2. Then turn on: Finishing?
  3. Then tap: Finish
  4. You'll now be shown the "Finish" options, and you can finish-up your working day.
  5. And finally, while showing the "On break" screen, it loops through your wallpapers.

To set your wallpaper:

  1. First, right-click anywhere, and tap: Theme
  2. Then scroll down, and tap a wallpaper.
  3. Then tap: Save
  4. Now go back on break.
  5. And finally, while you're on break, you'll now see beautiful images from your wallpaper that change every 30 seconds.

To bypass your break screen, whilst staying on break, and get back into 1st Money:

  1. First, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  2. Then tap: Close
  3. And finally, you can now tap around 1st Money, whilst your work-time status stays set to: "On break"

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about pausing your clocked-in timesheet time when you go on break!

Updated: Sat, 24 Feb 2024.
 

Finishing up your working day1:29

"How do I stop my clocked-in timesheet time on the end of my day?"

While you're working, your work-time status is normally green, throughout your working day.

To end your clocked-in timesheet time, once you're ready to finish your working day:

  1. First, tap: Work-time menuFinish
  2. You'll now see the "Finish" options, which shows.
  3. Your total done time for your working day.
  4. And then a list of individual done times.
  5. And then you'll see a box to type in your notes for your timesheet.
  6. Next, tap: Save
  7. Next select how you're feeling as you end your working day.
  8. And finally, tap Close, and you're all finished for the day.

You may notice:

  • It's only when you tap Save that your work-time status goes grey, and your clocked-in timesheet time is finally stopped.
  • During all the steps before you tap Save, your work-time status is still set to started.

Keep in mind that:

  • When reassigning a project, that your done time was set to, you can only change the project.
  • The times done remain unchanged.
  • Also remember that any notes you enter also show on the "Timelines" report.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about finishing up, when you end your working day!

Updated: Sat, 24 Feb 2024.
 

"Timelines" report and notes1:37

"How do I add timesheet notes, and what are the timesheet colours?"

To add notes to your own timesheet:

  1. First, tap: Work-time menuAdd timesheet note
  2. Now type your note, and tap: Add note
  3. And finally, the time of day is added automatically to the front of your note.

To understand both colours of timesheet lines:

  1. First, the green line represents done time.
  2. The yellow line represents planned time.
  3. And finally, sometimes the green done time line may be longer, or shorter, than the yellow planned time line. If so, it means that the person's finished after, or before, than their planned stop time.

To see a person's full timesheet from a "Timelines" report:

  1. First, tap the blue link.
  2. And finally, you'll see the person's full timesheet open on the right.

To change a person's timesheet times:

  1. First, tap a row.
  2. Then change their timesheet times by dragging the green circles with your mouse.
  3. Alternatively, you can select a green circle and then press the arrow keys on your keyboard.
  4. Once the time's right, tap: Save
  5. To see the "Timelines" report update, close the timesheet, then tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  6. And finally, once you tap Reload, you'll see the "Timelines" report update.

Updated: Sat, 24 Feb 2024.
 

Switching projects2:49

"How do I switch projects?"

When people start their clocked-in timesheet time, there's the option of assigning their time worked to a project. You can then use the project's "Attendance" reports to see how everyone's time on that project has been spent.

But before you can assign your time worked to a project, you first have to be added as a worker on the project.

To see a list of all projects you're already a worker on, and to switch projects:

  1. First, to start your clocked-in timesheet time, tap: Work-time menuStart
  2. Now that it's started, you can now tap: Work-time menuSwitch projects
  3. You'll now see a list of all the projects you're already a worker on.
  4. Tap the project you'll be working on next.
  5. Add any notes about work done on the project you're switching away from.
  6. Then tap: Switch
  7. And finally, you'll see a confirmation (at the top). The message confirms you that from the second you tapped Switch, your clocked-in timesheet time is now recorded against the newly selected project.

To add more worker projects for yourself:

  1. First, with your clocked-in timesheet time already started, tap: Work-time menuSwitch projects
  2. If you're an admin, you'll see an option to Add yourself as a worker on more projects (at the bottom of the list).
  3. Tap Add, and then tap the projects you'd like to add yourself as a worker on.
  4. Then tap Save, and you're now a worker on your newly added projects.
  5. And finally, when you tap: Work-time menuSwitch projects, you can switch to one of your new projects.

To add more worker projects for another person:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: ProjectsSummary
  3. Under the "Worker" column, tap the Add button that shows when you hover.
  4. Tap the projects you'd like to add the person as a worker on.
  5. Then tap: Save
  6. And finally, you'll see ticks showing that the person is now a worker for the selected projects.

Keep in mind that:

  • Only admins and project owners can add workers to a project.
  • If you want more projects in your "Switch projects" list and you're not an admin, you'll need to ask an admin to do it for you.

For advanced usage:

  • It's safe to later remove a person as a worker on a project.
  • All their existing clocked-in timesheet time is still safely stored.
  • However, the person can't add any new time to that project.

And that's it! That's all you need to do to switch projects!

Limiting timesheet edits2:59

"How can workers adjust their own timesheet times?"

Sometimes timesheet times are entered wrong and need to be adjusted.

There's two ways to set timesheet done times:

  • The first is where people clock-in timesheet time starts and stops throughout their working day. Each clocked-in timesheet time stores exact start or stop times to the second.
  • The other is "manual adjustments", set directly on the timesheet, usually by admins or managers. Manual adjustments are always highlighted with a red warning border, and only store their start or stop times to the nearest minute.

To reduce false hours and timesheet fraud, 1st Money defaults to only allowing admins and managers to do: "manual adjustments"

Some orgs, however, prefer that every person can manually adjust their own timesheet times directly.

To allow everyone to manually adjust their own timesheet times:

  1. First, open your org on: MenuOrgs
  2. Then tap: AttendanceAttendance settings
  3. Next, turn off: Limit timesheet edits
  4. Then tap: Save
  5. And finally, now everyone in your org can change their own timesheets.

When "Limit timesheet edits" is set to "Off":

  • Each person is free to manually adjust their own done time for up to 5 days after the date of the timesheet.
  • Each person can change their timesheet themself.
  • Each person doesn't need to go to an admin or manager to change their timesheet.
  • "Manual adjustments" are always highlighted with a red warning border.

To see if a timesheet time's been set by "manual adjustment":

  1. First, to go to your timesheet, tap: Work-time menuTimesheet
  2. Next, to open it in a new tab, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  3. Then tap: Open in new tab
  4. Look for the red warning border indicating a: "manual adjustment"
  5. And finally, if you spot one, tap MoreHistory to see further details, like who set the: "manual adjustment"

Keep in mind that:

  • Setting planned times is unaffected by the "Limit timesheet edits" setting.
  • Only admins or managers can ever change any planned time on any timesheet.
  • And only admins or managers can change the "Limit timesheet edits" setting.

You may notice:

  • The "Limit timesheet edits" setting applies to every person in your org.
  • If you want only a selected group of people, but not everyone, to change their timesheets, you could instead set those selected people as org admins.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about allowing workers to adjust their own timesheets!

Time slider steps1:44

"How do I adjust the time slider steps?"

The time slider step amount allows you to control how much, in minutes, the timesheet sliders move by.

To adjust how much your org's timesheet sliders move by:

  1. First, open your org on: MenuOrgs
  2. Then tap: AttendanceAttendance settings
  3. Then select the number of minutes for the: Time slider step amount
  4. Then tap: Save
  5. Now that it's saved, to see how your org's slider step amount setting works, tap: "See on timesheet"
  6. And finally, when you drag the slider, you'll now see that the slider now moves in the step setting that you selected.

Keep in mind that:

  • The "Time slider step amount" setting only affects times set by manually dragging the slider.
  • Starts and stops set from the work-time menu continue to always be saved to the second.
  • Also keep in mind that only admins or managers can change the "Time slider step amount" setting.

For advanced usage:

  • If you're on a laptop, once you've selected the slider with your mouse, you can use the keyboard to move the sliders.
  • Try pressing your keyboard arrow keys to move sliders forwards and backwards.

You may notice:

  • The "Time slider step amount" setting applies to your entire org.
  • You can't have different slider step amounts set per person, or per pay batch.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about adjusting your org's time slider steps!

Copying planned times4:05

"How do I copy planned times to other days, or other people?"

Copying planned times is the fastest way to set up shift schedules for everyone in your team.

Once you've created a perfect set of planned times on one person, you can then copy them over to others.

  • You can copy planned times over to other dates for that same person.
  • And you can copy planned times over to the timesheets of other people.

To copy planned times:

  1. First, to open the timesheet that's got the original master copy of planned times that you'd like to copy over.
  2. Start by selecting the person on: MenuPeople
  3. Then tap: Calendar
  4. Next, tap the date on the calendar you'd like to copy the planned times over from.
  5. Once it slides out on the right, to open it in a new tab, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  6. Then tap: Open in new tab
  7. Now that the timesheet's open in its own window, make sure that all the planned times in the timesheet are exactly right.
  8. If you need to add or change planned times, do that now.
  9. Now that the planned times on the timesheet are perfect, tap: MoreCopy planned
  10. You can see a preview of the planned times you're about to copy (at the top).
  11. Now Ctrl+Tap multiple people to copy the times over to. You can Ctrl+Tap as many people as you want.
  12. Next Ctrl+Tap the days to copy the times over to.
  13. Then tap: Save
  14. You'll now see a confirmation message with links to all the timesheets that you've copied over to.
  15. And finally, if you want to see the newly copied times, tap one of the links.

Now, switching person. You're now logged in as a person you've set planned times for.

To see your "Upcoming times":

  1. First, tap: Work-time menu (top-right)
  2. On the work-time menu, every person can now see a summary of their "Upcoming times" for the next week.
  3. If you want more detail, tap: MenuMy week
  4. And finally, you'll see each day's exact planned times in yellow.

Keep in mind that:

  • Only admins or managers can ever change any planned time on any timesheet.
  • Also, if "Copy planned" isn't showing under the "More" menu, it means your org hasn't turned on "Show planned times" yet.

To learn more:

You may notice:

  • Copying planned times always copies over whatever each row's project has been set to, in the original master copy timesheet.
  • But it never copies over the timesheet's done times or notes.
  • Even if the timesheets contain done times or notes, "Copy planned" still only copies over the planned time info.
  • Which is useful if your shifts are the same from week-to-week, and you want to copy all of last weeks times.

For advanced usage:

  • When copying planned times, you can Ctrl+Tap all the dates you want.
  • However, when copying large spans of shifts, you may find it faster to Shift+Tap from the first date, to the last date.
  • And then to subtract the dates you don't want copied (like weekends), using: Ctrl+Tap
  • Keep in mind that the Ctrl+Tap and Shift+Tap shortcuts aren't available on tablets and phones.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about copying planned times over to other dates and other people!

Deleting a timesheet3:03

"How do I delete a timesheet?"

Occasionally you may want to delete some of the timesheet rows, or even delete the entire timesheet.

To delete only one timesheet row from a person's timesheet:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar for the timesheet you'd like to delete a row from.
  4. Then scroll down and tap the timesheet row you'd like to delete.
  5. Then tap: Delete
  6. And finally, when you go back to the timesheet, you'll now see the row's been deleted, and the "Done time" total's been reduced.

Keep in mind that:

  • When deleting a timesheet row from a person's timesheet, it deletes that timesheet row's: "Done time"
  • In addition, it also deletes any notes on that timesheet row too.

To delete an entire timesheet:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar for the timesheet you'd like to delete.
  4. Then to open it in a new tab, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  5. Then tap: Open in new tab
  6. Now that the timesheet's open in its own window...
  7. Tap: MoreDelete
  8. You'll be warned that deleting a timesheet can't be un-done.
  9. Then tap: Yes ... delete
  10. Now all of the timesheet's rows, both done and planned, and timesheet notes have been permanently deleted.
  11. And finally, a completely empty timesheet is now loaded in its place.

To see a timesheet's change history:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar for the timesheet you'd like to see the change history of.
  4. Then to open it in a new tab, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  5. Then tap: Open in new tab
  6. Now that the timesheet's open in its own window...
  7. Next, tap: MoreHistory
  8. And finally, you'll see a list of all the changes ever done to the timesheet.

Also remember that:

  • All timesheet changes are stored in history, and the history itself can't be deleted.
  • Even if the timesheet's deleted, its change history is all still there, including a record of who deleted it.

You may notice:

  • If the timesheet says that it's locked, that means that the payslip that it belongs to has been paid and no more changes can be made.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about deleting a timesheet!

Excusing absences2:29

"How do I excuse an absence?"

Excusing an absence means the manager's been given an acceptable reason for the absence, and has decided the absence can be removed.

Once excused, an absence is greyed out and doesn't count towards the person's total absences.

To excuse a timesheet absence, like a no-show, late start, or early finish:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar you'd like to excuse an absence for.
  4. Near the top of the page, you'll see the number of minutes that need to be excused.
  5. Then when you scroll down to the bottom of the timesheet, you'll see the "Absences" heading.
  6. To excuse the absences in the timesheet, turn on: Excuse day's absences
  7. Next, select the best matching absence reason from the list that pops up.
  8. The text of your selected reason automatically appears in the "Reason excused" box. Feel free to change it, or add to it.
  9. Then tap: Save
  10. To see that the absence's been excused in the person's "Absences list" report, tap: AttendanceAbsences ... list
  11. In the "Absences list" report, you'll see a greyed out row for the absence you excused.
  12. And finally, when you hover your mouse over the row, you'll see the absence reason you typed in.

You may notice:

  • Once a person's absence has been excused, it no longer counts towards that person's total absences.
  • However, the absence still shows in the "Absences list" report so you can read the absence reason, change the reason, or remove the absence approval.

Keep in mind that:

  • Approving absences is "all or nothing" for that timesheet day.
  • There's no option to excuse only some of the absences that happened that day.
  • Also, if the "Planned time" heading or features aren't showing on the page, it means your org hasn't turned on "Show planned times" yet.

To learn more:

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about approving an absence!

Overwrite planned time with done time1:56

"How do I overwrite planned times with done times?"

Sometimes done times don't match planned times.

In most cases, the mismatch is because of an employee absence. If so, watch the video on: Excusing absences

However, sometimes there's a business reason for the mismatch, like a power-cut, or a change in plans. If so, a useful way to have planned times matching done times is to try: "Overwrite planned with done"

To overwrite planned times with done times:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar you'd like to "Overwrite planned with done" for.
  4. Once it slides out on the right, to open it in a new tab, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  5. Then tap: Open in new tab
  6. Now that the timesheet's open in its own window, tap: MoreOverwrite planned with done
  7. Next, tap: Yes ... overwrite
  8. And finally, the planned times have now instantly changed to match the done time, and the absence warning's disappeared.

Keep in mind that:

  • Only admins or managers can ever change any planned time on any timesheet.
  • Also, if you ever need them, the original times that were overwritten, are still stored in history.
  • Also, if "Overwrite planned with done" isn't showing under the "More" menu, it means your org hasn't turned on "Show planned times" yet.

To learn more:

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about overwriting planned times with done times!

Working past midnight2:35

"How do I set my timesheet when I work past midnight?"

The timesheets can store both the working time before midnight, or in other words, the late evening before the timesheet's date. And also it can store working time after midnight, or in other words, the early morning after the timesheet's date.

To set a timesheet time that's earlier than midnight:

  1. First, tap: MenuMy timesheet
  2. Next, tap: Add time
  3. Then drag the start slider to the very left most edge.
  4. You'll see that the start time shows as minus 10 pm.
  5. The minus symbol means the day before, so the example means 10 pm on the late evening before the timesheet's date.
  6. Next, drag the end slider to 2 am.
  7. You now have a four hour shift that started on the previous evening and goes through to 2 am of the current day.
  8. And finally, tap: Save

To set a timesheet time that's after midnight:

  1. First, tap: MenuMy timesheet
  2. Next, tap: Add time
  3. Then drag the start slider all the way across to 11 pm.
  4. Next, drag its end slider past midnight and across to 3 am.
  5. Now you'll see that the end time shows as plus 3 am. The plus symbol means the day after, so the example means 3 am on the early morning after the timesheet's date.
  6. And finally, after you tap Save, you'll see the total hours.

Keep in mind that:

  • All the steps also equally applies to setting planned times as well. The only difference is you drag the yellow slider instead.

You may notice:

  • That even though the times are before or after midnight, the times still belong to the day's timesheet.

For advanced usage:

  • Remember that clocked-in timesheet time is always paid as part of the payslip the timesheet date belongs to.
  • So, what happens if a January pay period had a first of January timesheet, with hours worked before midnight?
  • In the example, those hours before midnight, in reality, were worked on December 31st.
  • However, because those hours were recorded on the first of January timesheet, the hours are be paid as part of the January pay period.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about setting your timesheet when you work past midnight!

Adjusting the absence trigger2:08

"How do I set the number of minutes it takes to trigger an absence?"

"Absence trigger minutes" is where you give their people a few minutes leeway before marking them as absent.

To set your org's absence trigger minutes:

  1. First, open your org on: MenuOrgs
  2. Then tap: AttendanceAttendance settings
  3. Then scroll down and select the number of minutes to: Trigger absences after
  4. Then tap: Save
  5. Now, with the trigger set, open a timesheet to see the effect it's got.
  6. It's best to open yesterday's timesheet because absence warnings don't show up until the current day's totally finished.
  7. Currently, because both planned and done times exactly match, no absence has been triggered yet.
  8. To try triggering an absence, set the person to start late by exactly the trigger minutes.
  9. As expected, when you tap the "Reload tab" button: (at the top), still no absence has been triggered yet, as the person still hasn't gone over the trigger minutes.
  10. Next, set the person to start late by slightly more than the trigger minutes.
  11. Now when you tap the "Reload tab" button: (at the top), an absence has now been triggered.
  12. And finally, you can now see the absence warning for the number of minutes late.

Keep in mind that:

  • The "Trigger absences after" setting applies equally to all people with planned times in your org.
  • A very strict org may set the absence trigger to only 1 minute. A lax org could set it to 30 minutes. Either way, it's your choice, but if you don't change it, the default is 5 minutes.
  • Also, for tracking absences to work, planned times need to be turned on.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about setting your org's "absence trigger minutes"!

Turning on planned times2:18

"How do I turn on the planned times feature?"

Setting planned times allows you to schedule, publish, and track upcoming shift hours for your people.

To turn on "Show planned times":

  1. First, open your org on: MenuOrgs
  2. Then tap: AttendanceAttendance settings
  3. And turn on: Show planned times
  4. Then tap: Save
  5. And finally, "Show planned times" is now turned on.

To set a planned time for a person:

  1. First, go to a person.
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar you'd like to set a planned time for.
  4. Once it slides out on the right, beside the "Planned time" heading, tap the "Add" button:
  5. Drag the sliders to set the planned time's start and stop times.
  6. Optionally, you can also select the project that you'd like the planned time to be saved into.
  7. Then tap: Save
  8. Now, you'll see the new planned time saved to the timesheet.
  9. And finally, when the person opens their Work-time menu (top-right), the person can now see the new planned time as one of their: "Upcoming times"

Keep in mind that:

  • Planned times is an optional feature.
  • It's useful for jobs that require people on shift at fixed times of the day. For example: call centres, restaurants, and retail.
  • If all you need is to track your people's actual hours worked, you can keep it turned off. Time tracking continues to work fine without it.
  • Also keep in mind that only admins or managers can change the "Show planned times" setting.

You may notice:

  • The "Show planned times" setting applies to every person in your org.
  • If you've got some people that don't need "Show planned times", but others that do, turn it on anyway.
  • You can then use the "Show planned times" feature for those that do need it, and ignore it for those that don't.

And that's it! That's all you need to do to add a planned time!

There: To understand a person's "There" percentage:

  • You'll see the percentage of the person's planned hours, over the last 2 months, where the "Done time" overlapped the: "Planned time"
  • In other words, what percent of the time the person was there, compared to when you planned for them to be there.

  • For jobs that require shift planning, like restaurants and call centres, a "There" percentage closer to 100% is better.
  • When there's no planned hours, it shows as 0%.
  • When "Show planned times" is turned off, it doesn't show.

  1. First, look for the person on: MenuPeople
  2. If you see a "Ghost" image under their name, it means the person's ghosted you.

Locked timesheets2:48

"What does it mean when a timesheet's locked?"

Once a payslip is filed, all the timesheets covered by that payslip's pay period are automatically locked. Once locked, no more changes can be made to those timesheets.

To see which payslip locked a single timesheet:

  1. First, select the person on: MenuPeople
  2. Then tap: Calendar
  3. Next, tap the date on the calendar for the timesheet you'd like to open.
  4. Then tap the date on the "Locked by" message.
  5. You'll now see the payslip that locked the timesheet.
  6. And finally, you'll see how long ago it was filed.

To see which timesheets have been locked by a payslip:

  1. First, with the payslip open, tap the three dots: (in the top-right corner)
  2. Then tap: Open in new tab
  3. Then with the payslip now in its own tab, tap: MoreHours worked
  4. Once it slides out on the right, you'll see a list of all the timesheet hours worked over the entire pay period of the payslip.
  5. And finally, tap any of the dates, and once it slides out on the right, you'll see each locked timesheet.

To correct payslip payments when a big error's found on a locked timesheet:

  1. First, the safest option is to calculate the money value of the error.
  2. Then go to the next un-filed payslip.
  3. Then tap: Payables
  4. Then: New payable
  5. And then select the item that best matches the correction you'd like to make, for example: "Earnings underpayment correction"
  6. Next enter the money value of the error, and carry on through the steps.
  7. However, if you still want to unlock a locked timesheet, you'll need to go back to the filed payslip.
  8. Then tap: MoreDelete
  9. And then tap: Yes ... delete
  10. Now that the payslip is deleted, to see the unlocked timesheets, you can tap: MoreHours worked
  11. Next, when you tap any of the dates, you'll see that each timesheet is no longer locked.
  12. And finally, keep in mind that you're strongly warned to NOT delete a filed payslip. It isn't recommended because you'll need to manually redo bank payments and accounting entries.

Keep in mind that:

  • If the person is paid a salary, or in other words the person isn't paid hourly, there usually won't be any timesheets connected to the payslip. Which means the "Hours worked" list shows as empty.

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about working with timesheets that're locked!

  3. Next, decide if you're back to working, if you're still on break, or if you're finishing your working day.
  4. And finally, tap: I forgot

Keep in mind that:

  • The "I forgot" feature is only for when you missed entering a stop time. Or, in other words, you finished working, but accidentally left your clocked-in timesheet time still started.
  • If, instead, you missed entering a start time, ask your admin to do a manual adjustment.
