Timesheet Review
Administrators (and Managers with the permission to "Review Timesheets") can review Timesheets from the Company --> Timesheets page.
There, you can view a list of all timesheets on the Timesheet Review page, and drill down to details of any individual timesheet and see the Timesheet View page
There are many functions you can complete from this page, and a variety of ways you can view information about the Timesheets at your company.
Organizations that use the Timesheet Approvals Module will also want to see the Timesheet Approvals guide here.
You can use the links below to skip the the appropriate section of the guide:
Timesheet Review Options:
From the Timesheet Review page you can select the option to Override Timesheets from the upper right.
Overriding time sheets allows you to select an individual and date, and enter time as though you were that individual.
More details on Timesheet Override can be found on the Timesheet Override guide.
From the Timesheet Review page you can also opt to take Bulk Actions on the Timesheets on your list. This is especially useful for adding or editing time entries that impact multiple employees, like trainings or other events.
You can choose to:
- Add timesheet entries - add entries to multiple timesheets at once.
- Delete timesheet entries - remove entries from multiple timesheets at once.
- Find and replace timesheet entries - find/replace entries across multiple timesheets.
ClickTime provides flexible filtering options on the Timesheet Review page, helping you more efficiently manage timesheets awaiting review. These filters include:
- Time - this allows you to select the time range of Timesheets you wish to consider.
- Timesheet Status - this allows you to view All, Open, or Locked Timesheets
- People - filtering by People opens a People selection window that allows you to select individual employees and view only Timesheets for those employees. Managers will only have access to their employees.
- Divisions - this allows you to select a Division within your Company and view Timesheets for that Division only.
- Employment Type- this allows you to select an Employment Type within your Company and view Timesheets for that Employment Type only.
"Stages" of a timesheet
During the timesheet approvals workflow, each timesheet goes through various changes and they are defined in this way:
"Open": refers to a timesheet which is still in-process or has not yet been submitted. The timesheet is editable.
"Waiting For Approval": the timesheet has been submitted and is waiting for review. Timesheet is locked and non-editable. If further edits are needed, a user (or manager with permissions/administrator) can click the "Undo Submission" button on the Timesheet View page.
"Waiting for time off approval": refers to a timesheet that has been submitted - and includes both worked hours and Time Off waiting to be approved. The timesheet is non-editable, but the user (or manager with permissions/admin) can click 'Undo Submission' on the Timesheet View page if further edits are needed.
"Approved/Locked": the timesheet has been reviewed & approved by a manager/administrator. Timesheet is locked and non-editable, but if further changes are needed, a (manager with permissions/administrator) can either reject the timesheet or select "Undo Approval". At that point, the user or manager/administrator can go into the details of the timesheet and click 'Undo Submission' to make the timesheet editable again. But if the "reject" option is chosen, this will notify the employee and timesheet approver that the timesheet has been rejected.
"Rejected": the timesheet has been marked rejected by a manager or administrator. This option is often chosen when the timesheet does not meet requirements and there needs to be a notification/reasoning process as to why. As described (above), this option also notifies the employee and approver. Timesheet is considered open/editable at this stage and can be re-submitted.
You can also change how the Timesheets are displayed and grouped on your Timesheet Review Page.
The Show option allows you to show all employees (Active & Inactive People), or to show only Active or Inactive people.
The Group By option allows you to select how you want to group your Timesheets. These options include Timesheet Period, Person, and Approver.
Once you have selected Timesheets you can take several actions on those Timesheets.
- Send Email - this allows you to send an email to all of the Employees who have Timesheets in the selected group. You can also include the Employees' timesheet approvers by selecting the approvers' timesheets. This may be helpful in cases where you want to create a communication thread between various people in the approval loop.
- Lock - this allows you to Lock all the selected Timesheets so they can no longer be edited or updated. NOTE: this feature is only available to accounts that do not have the 'Timesheet Approvals' module (see here)
By selecting the pencil on the row with the Timesheet information, the ClickTime administrator or Manger can open any individual Timesheet to review all data included in that Timesheet.
Clicking the Pencil opens the Timesheet View. Here, you can review specific data in the Timesheet and take some actions on the Timesheet.
You may Lock an individual Timesheet from the Timesheet view page to prevent additional edits to the Timesheet.
