1st FREE Time & Attendance tracks employee work hours in real-time, including when they start, go on break, or finish for the day.

It's like timesheets, but with no clumsy forms or reports to fill in. There's nothing to print, no cards to swipe, and no expensive hardware. It even works great for remote teams.

Updated: Tue, Mar 14, 2023.
 

1st FREE Time & Attendance tracks hours worked, tracks holidays, tracks overtime and night work, then sub-totals all hours worked for each pay period.

    Go to: Menu > People > Invite person

  2. Teach them to start their work-time:

    Click: Work-time menu > Start

That's it, but give it a few days for your reports to start looking interesting.

Limiting timesheet edits1:57

"How can non-admins adjust their own timesheet times?" 

... 

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 highlighted in a red warning color, 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" 

However, 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:
    Menu > Orgs
     
  2. Then click:
    Attendance > Attendance settings
     
  3. Then turn off:
    Limit timesheet edits
     
  4. And finally, click: Save 

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 still highlighted in a red warning color. 

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

  1. First, go to the timesheet. 
  2. Look for this red warning color indicating a: "manual adjustment" 
  3. And finally, if you spot one, click More > History to see further details. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • The planned time feature remains unaffected. Only admins or managers can ever change any planned time on any timesheet. 

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

Time slider steps1:10

"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:
    Menu > Orgs
     
  2. And finally, click:
    Attendance > Attendance settings
     

To see how your org's slider step amount works: 

  1. First, to go to today's timesheet, click:
    Work-time menu > Timesheet
     
  2. Click a timesheet row, and then drag the slider. 
  3. And finally, you'll now see that the slider moves only in the minute steps that you set. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • This only affects times set by manually dragging the slider. 
  • Starts and stops set from the work-time menu are still always saved to the second. 
  • 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 the arrow keys to move sliders forwards and backwards. 

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

Dismissing absences1:07

"How do I dismiss an absence?" 

Dismissing an absence means the manager's been given an acceptable reason for the absence, and has decided it can be dismissed. 

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

To see a timesheet's "dismiss options": 

  1. First, go to a timesheet of a person who's been late for a planned time. 
  2. Click the "See dismiss options" link. 
  3. And finally, this jumps you down to the bottom of that day's timesheet. 

Keep in mind that: 

  • Dismissing absences is: "all or nothing" 
  • There's no option to dismiss only some of the absences that happened that day. 

To dismiss a timesheet no-show: 

  1. First, turn on: Dismiss day's absences 
  2. Next, select the best match from the list of absence reasons. 
  3. Your selected reason automatically appears in the "Dismiss reason" box. Feel free to change it. 
  4. Next, type in any changes you'd like to make. 
  5. And finally, click: Save 

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

Working past midnight1:56

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

The timesheets store working time both before midnight, and also after midnight. 

To open your timesheet: 

  1. First, click:
    Menu > My timesheet
     
  2. And finally, click: My timesheet 

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

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

To set a timesheet time that's after midnight: 

  1. First, to add another done time, click the "Add" button:  
  2. Then drag the start slider all the way across to 11 pm. 
  3. Next, drag the end slider past midnight and across to 3 am. 
  4. Now you'll see that the end time shows as plus 3 am. The plus symbol means the day after, so this means 3 am on the day after the timesheet's date. 
  5. After you click Save, you'll see the total hours. 
  6. The time is split, with some time before midnight, and some time after midnight. 
  7. Even though the times are before or after midnight, the times still belong to this day's timesheet. 
  8. And finally, this means the times are paid as part of the paystub this timesheet date belongs to. 

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

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

To understand a person's "There" percentage: 

  • This shows 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. 
  • When there's no planned hours, this is 0%. 
  • This is also based on attendance over the last two months. 
  • This only shows if you have planned times turned on.

  • Anyone with org admin permissions. 
  • And also to project owners and observers. 

When you go to a project and look on the Attendance menu, it may not show the "Absences 30 days" report. If not, it means your org hasn't turned on the planned times feature yet.

  1. First, anyone with org admin permissions.

  6. That's because this absence was dismissed, so it now shows in gray, and doesn't count towards the total. 
  7. When you mouse over each dismissed row, you'll see the explanation added by the manager who approved the absence dismissal. 
  8. And finally, to see the "dismiss options", click any row.

  2. Then find the People in the list. 
  3. Then Ctrl+Click each person you want to compare the done time of. 
  4. You'll now only see a line for each of your selected people. 
  5. Because each line's a different color, you can compare each person. 
  6. And finally, when you click any point on a line, a panel slides out on the right, showing that day's timesheet for that person. This gives you more info about their done time, including exact start and stop times throughout their working day. 

When you go to the "Daily hours" or "Weekly hours" report, it may not show the yellow planned times lines. If not, it means your org hasn't turned on the planned times feature yet.

Keep in mind that: 

  • When you click the Attendance menu, you'll also find a weekly version called the "Weekly hours" report. 
  • In addition, when you go to a specific person, you can also see more "Attendance" reports, also under the Attendance menu. 
  • The person "Attendance" reports are similar to the project "Attendance" reports, except the person "Attendance" reports only show hours done for a single person. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about using "Daily hours" and "Weekly hours" reports!

The "There" report2:44

"How do I use the "There" report?" 

The "There" report shows you the percentage difference between planned time and done time. 

A person or project's "There" report is available to: 

  1. First, anyone with org admin permissions. 
  2. And finally, project owners and observers. 

When you go to a project and look on the Attendance menu, you may not see the "There" report listed. If not: 

  • It means your org hasn't turned on the planned times feature yet. 

To learn more: 

When a person or project has no planned times entered then the "There" report is empty. 

To open a project's "There" report: 

  1. First, select the project on:
    Menu > Projects
     
  2. Then click:
    Attendance > There
     
  3. Once it opens, you'll see lines representing the "there" time percent of everyone in this project, over the last 90 days. 
  4. And finally, when you hover your mouse over each line, you'll see additional details. Like who that line's for, and how high their "there" time is, as a percent. 

To see a project's most recent 30 days of "there" percents: 

  • Click:
    Show settings > Dates > From > Previous 7 days
     

Now, switching back to 90 days. 

To compare "there" percents of a set of selected people: 

  1. First, click:
    Show settings > Side settings ... show
     
  2. Then find the People in the list. 
  3. Then Ctrl+Click the people you want to compare. 
  4. You'll now see a line for each of your selected people. 
  5. Because each line's a different color, you can compare each person. 
  6. And finally, when you click any point on a line, a panel slides out on the right, showing that day's timesheet for that person. This gives you more info about their absence, like whether the absence was dismissed or not. 

Now, switching back to all people and hiding the side settings. 

To show a single line averaging everyone's "there's" in a whole project: 

  • Click:
    Show settings > Line type > Combine into 1 line
     

To see all "there" percents in a number format: 

  1. First, click:
    Show settings > Show grid
     
  2. And finally, (at the top) you'll also see a single average "there" percentage for all the people, over the entire date range selected. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about using "There" reports!

Timesheets

 

Using timesheets2:16

"How do I use timesheets?" 

Timesheets are a feature that every person in every business can use: 

  • 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, click:
    Work-time menu > Timesheet
     
  2. Or click:
    Menu > My timesheet
     
  3. Also, if you open your person page. 
  4. Then click Calendar, and you can click the gray circles (at the start of each week), to show you that week's timesheets. 
  5. And finally, if you go back and click any date on the calendar you'll see the timesheet for that day. 

To skip forwards and back timesheet days: 

  1. First, click the side triangles on the left and right edges of the timesheet. 
  2. And finally, you can click the triangle buttons near the top. 

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

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

To set timesheet times: 

  1. First, normally you'd click the buttons on the work-time menu, as you set starts and stops throughout your working day. 
  2. Alternatively, if you're an admin, you can click Add time to enter a time manually, then drag the green sliders, then click: Save 
  3. And finally, you'll now see the updated done time for your working day. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about starting with timesheets!

Yes. Admins can change any timesheet anytime after it's submitted, unless it's been locked by a paid paystub.

By default, only admins can edit start, stop, and done times. All other people can use Start Go on break Finish to set done times.

If you want to turn off: "Limit timesheet edits" (so everyone can edit their times)

  • Go to: Menu > Org > Attendance > Attendance ... > Limit times...

Once turned off, all people can use the calendar to find and edit their timesheets directly.

These "own edits" are limited to the three days after that working day (72 hours after the end of that day).

Note: Regardless of the above:

  • Only admins can ever enter or edit times planned.
  • Admins can edit any done time, even after the 3 day limit.
 

To edit a timesheet after it's been locked by a paid paystub:

  1. Delete the paystub.

Copying planned times2:33

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

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

  1. First, select the person on:
    Menu > People

  7. Now that the planned times on this one timesheet are perfect, click:
    More > Copy planned
     
  8. You can see a preview of the planned times you're about to copy (at the top). 
  9. Now Ctrl+Click multiple people to copy the times to. You can Ctrl+Click as many people as you like.

  11. Then click: Save 
  12. You'll now see a confirmation message with links to all the timesheets that you've copied to. 
  13. And finally, if you want, click one of them. You'll see that all the planned times have copied correctly. 

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

To see where a person's next weeks planned times can be found: 

  1. First, the person clicks:
    Work-time menu (top-right)

  3. If you want more detail, you can also click:
    Menu > My week
     
  4. And finally, you'll see each of the person's planned times in yellow. 

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

Updated: Sat, Apr 15, 2023.
 

Note: If planned times aren't showing:

  • Turn on: Menu > Org > Attendance > Attendance ... > Show planne...

Copy planned times allows you to copy the planned times of one person to as many other people as you like:

  • This overwrites all previous "planned times" that may have been set (for those people and dates).
  • Copies to unlimited people.
  • Copies only up to 6 weeks into the future (can also show 6 weeks in the past).
  • Try Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click to speed up selection.

Overwrite planned time with done time1:22

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

The reality of day-to-day life can mean done times won't always match planned times. 

To learn more: 

An alternative way to handle a mismatch is to overwrite planned times with the day's done times. This isn't recommended for most absences. It's normally only used where the change in plan was caused by the business, such as equipment or facility faults. 

To overwrite planned times with done times: 

  1. First, select the person on:
    Menu > People
     
  2. Then click:
    Attendance > Timesheet
     
  3. Next, to open it in a new tab, click the three dots: (in the top-right corner) 
  4. Then click: Open in new tab 
  5. Now that the timesheet's open in its own window, click:
    More > Overwrite planned with done
     
  6. The planned times have now instantly changed to match the done time. 
  7. All that's left is for you to click: Save 
  8. Now, click the "Reload tab" button: (at the top) 
  9. And finally, you'll see that the absence warning's disappeared. 

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

Updated: Sat, Apr 15, 2023.
 

Adjusting the absence trigger2:25

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

Most businesses give their people a few minutes leeway before marking them as absent. This is called the "absence trigger minutes". Tracking absences requires planned times to be turned on. To learn how to turn on planned times, watch the video on: Turning on planned times 

To set your org's absence trigger minutes: 

  1. First, open your org on:
    Menu > Orgs
     
  2. Then click:
    Attendance > Attendance settings
     
  3. Then scroll down and select the number of minutes to: "Trigger absences after" 
  4. Then click: Save 
  5. Now, with the trigger set, open to a timesheet for yesterday and see the effect it's got. It's best to open yesterday's timesheet because absence warnings don't show up until the current day has totally finished. 
  6. And finally, you'll see that both planned and done times exactly match. So no absences have been triggered yet. 

To trigger a timesheet planned time absence: 

  1. First, set the person's first done time to start late by exactly the trigger minutes. 
  2. As expected, when you click the "Reload tab" button: (at the top), no absence is triggered yet, as you haven't gone over the trigger minutes yet. 
  3. Next, set the second done time to also start late by exactly the trigger minutes. 
  4. Again, when you click the "Reload tab" button: (at the top), still no absence is triggered. This is because neither of the late starts have gone over the trigger minutes. 
  5. Next, change this second late start to now start late by slightly more than the trigger minutes. 
  6. And finally, when you click the "Reload tab" button: (at the top), an absence has now been triggered, and you now see an absence warning for the number of minutes late. 

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 remember that this trigger applies equally to all people with planned times in your org. 

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about setting your org's number of minutes before an absence is triggered!

To turn off emails from people's timesheets:

  • Turn off: You > Settings > Messaging > Daily times...

You're getting these emails because you're the manager, supervisor, or project leader of these people.

If you get these timesheet emails from some people, but not others, remove yourself from being the manager, supervisor, or project leader of the people you don't want timesheet emails from.

  • Manager:

    Person > HR > Roles > Turn on as ...

  • Supervisor:

    Person > HR > Roles > Turn on as ...

Finishing up your working day1:13

"How do I stop my clocked-in timesheet time, or finish up, when I reach the end of my working 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, click:
    Work-time menu > Finish
     
  2. You'll now see the "finish" pop-up, which shows. 
  3. Your total done time for your working day. 
  4. And then a list of individual done times. 
  5. And finally, a box to enter your notes for your timesheet. 

To reassign a project from your "finish" pop-up: 

  1. First, reassign one of the projects that a done time was set to. You'll note that you can only change the project. The times remain unchanged. 
  2. And then type in your notes of what you got done for today. 
  3. Then click: Save 
  4. It's only now, when you've clicked Save, that your work-time status goes gray, and your clocked-in timesheet time is finally stopped. 
  5. Next select how you're feeling as you end your day. 
  6. And finally, click: Close 

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

The advantages of "Planned time" on timesheets are:

  • Employees know their upcoming work hours without having to ask.
  • Manager's get a "Late start" email when their people are late.
  • Managers can see reports on who arrives (and finishes) on time:

    Go to: Person > Attendance > There

  • Managers can compare reliability between people:

    Go to: Person > HR > Assessment

Note: If planned times aren't showing:

  • Turn on: Menu > Org > Attendance > Attendance ... > Show planne...

Locked timesheets1:31

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

Once a paystub is paid, all the days timesheets covered by that paystub's pay period are automatically locked. Once locked, no further changes can be made to the timesheet. 

To see which paystub locked a timesheet: 

  1. First, click the date on the "Locked by" message. 
  2. You'll then see the paystub that locked the timesheet. 
  3. And finally, you'll see how long ago it was paid. 

To open a paystub in it's own window and see its locked timesheets: 

  1. First, click the three dots: (in the top-right corner) 
  2. Then click: Open in new tab 
  3. Then if you click the "Hours worked" link, it shows that it paid earnings on 114.2 hours of done time. 
  4. You can also see a list of all the hours worked over the entire pay period of this paystub. 
  5. And finally, click any of the dates, and you'll see each locked timesheet. 

The only way to unlock a paystub locked timesheet would be to delete the paystub, but this isn't recommended. 

To correct paystub 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 unpaid paystub. 
  3. Then click: Payables 
  4. Then:
    New payable
     
  5. And finally, select the item that best matches the correction you'd like to make. 

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

If you want to turn off: "Limit timesheet edits" (so everyone can edit their times)

  • Go to: Menu > Org > Attendance > Attendance ... > Limit times...

Once turned off, all people can use the calendar to find and edit their timesheets directly.

These "own edits" are limited to the three days after that working day (72 hours after the end of that day).

Note: Regardless of the above:

  • Only admins can ever enter or edit times planned.
  • Admins can edit any done time, even after the 3 day limit.

Note: Only org admins can set these features. To see if you're an "Org admin":

Use: Work-time menu > Finish

Use "Finish" when you're leaving for the day. It asks for your "Feeling at end-of-day" and gives you a chance to edit any notes you've taken during the day.
