🎯 Objective
Time management allows the employee to:
- ⏱️ enter their working and absence hours, using daily activity entry
- 📆 view their working hours, using schedule viewing
🔐 Prerequisites
Time management comprises two sections, each with its own prerequisites:
- For daily activity entry: it must have been activated for the company.
- For schedule viewing: schedule management must have been activated and the schedule published by the administrator or manager.
💻 Available features
Daily activity entry
🔸Viewing timesheets
Daily activity entry is accessible from the 📍 Daily monitoring section > Daily activity menu:
Daily activity is declared by week, from Monday to Sunday, according to the payroll calendar. A working week may therefore span two different months.
Example: Monday 28 April to Sunday 4 May is attached to the May payroll period.
🔸Timesheet statuses
- To be submitted: the employee must check the displayed hours and make any necessary changes.
- Waiting for approval: the entry has been sent by the employee but is waiting for approval by the administrator.
- Approved: the timesheet has been approved by the administrator.
- Refused: the administrator or manager has denied the timesheet; the employee must modify it and send it again.
🔸Entry methods
Three entry methods are available:
- Daily total: the employee enters the number of hours worked per day
- Time range: the employee enters their working hours for the morning and afternoon (start and end times)
- Daily package tracking: the employee declares the days worked by half-day (morning / afternoon)
🔍 Available filters
By default, you are taken to the timesheets for the current month.
However, you can view past timesheets, timesheets for a specific week or timesheets with a particular status by clicking the Filter button:
