How to Approve timesheets

  • Click on timesheets in the page picker

Approve several timesheets at once

  • Select the week you want to approve timesheets for and then select group view.

Note; when you use the group editor for timesheets you'll only be able to select one project and cost code per person. If you'd like to allocate their work to more than one cost code then please select the single view. You can read more about approving timesheets in the single view below.

  • Select the project and cost code for the timesheets you'd like to approve.

  • Once you've filled them in; use the check box on the left-hand side of the table to select the timesheets you'd like to approve

  • Click approve and confirm.

Approve timesheets one at a time

If you'd like to allocate timesheets to several projects and cost codes then you have to edit them individually.

  • To switch to single view and edit them individually click on the timesheet

  • Select which days the operative has worked that week

  • Select which projects they have worked on that week

  • On each day you can also select which cost codes they’ve worked on e.g. mechanical, electrical or project management

Note: In a single timesheet view you can allocate each day to more than one cost code at a time. Simply select a project and then select all the cost codes that the person worked on that day. You can select up to 3 cost codes for each day. The costs for each day are automatically split and allocated into the relevant cost codes.

Once you’ve approved the timesheet, it will update all of your cost reports with the allocated labour costs.
