Time-Sheet Setup Checklist

When you access Time-Sheet™ for the first time, the account setup checklist will appear to guide you through setting up the module. It will stay in the menu until you click the Roll out to your staff button at the bottom. 

Once rolled out, your employees will see the module icon at the top of their screens the next time they sign in. They will not receive an email notification.
Review account settings: Set account settings for timesheets, reports, and notifications for the module.
Review business settings: Set your workday hours and probation period. Workday hours will also inform the number of hours tracked for Paid Holidays.
Set up overtime rules: Choose when overtime should apply based on either daily or weekly work hours.
 
Set up timesheet periods: We recommend matching timesheets to your pay period, however this can be customized based on when your work hours are calculated (ex: weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly).
Set up custom periods: If your timesheet period falls outside of the options available (weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly), create custom periods to reflect your unique timesheet period. We recommend creating custom periods for a year at a time.
Set up timesheet approval: Determine how timesheets should be approved and by who.

Auto-Approve: All timesheets will be approved automatically when submitted.
Any Manager:
Any manager who directly manages the employee can approve their timesheet. Only one approval is required (even if the employee has multiple managers). 
X out of Y Managers:
Choose how many of an employee’s direct managers must approve their timesheet. Managers can approve in any order.
Sequenced: Managers must approve in a specific order.
