Timesheets

Submit your week, or unsubmit it

Send your week for approval, unsubmit it to fix a mistake, what each status means, and what to do if it is returned.

Steps

  1. Open Timesheet. Check Worked, Overtime (estimate) and each day.
  2. Add anything missing with + Add hours and fix anything wrong.
  3. Choose Submit. The week becomes Submitted and your manager is told it is waiting.

What each status means

Every week shows its status as a label and as a five-step line: Draft · Submitted · Approved · Exported · Locked.

  • Draft: you are still filling it in. Only you and your manager see it, and you can change anything.
  • Submitted: sent to your manager and waiting for approval. You can still Unsubmit it.
  • Approved: your manager has approved it. It counts towards pay and reports.
  • Exported: sent to payroll or accounting (also called Processed). Changes now go through your manager.
  • Locked: the pay period is closed, so nothing on the week can change.
  • Returned: your manager sent it back to you to fix. It is not one of the five steps: fix it and submit again.

Unsubmit

While the week is Submitted, choose Unsubmit if you spot a mistake. The week goes back to Draft: make the change and choose Submit again. After it is approved the page says Approved. If you see Reopen, choose it to change the week; it then needs approving again. If you do not, ask your manager to reopen it.

If your week is returned

The week shows Returned and Your manager said, with what needs to change. Make the change and choose Submit again.

Good to know. Overtime is an estimate from the overtime rule you are on. Your pay comes from your employer's payroll.
