Advanced timesheets

Advanced timesheet tools let you go further before submitting payroll:

  • Department-based review and finalisation.
  • Edit by Staff Member.
  • View Timesheet Calculations.

Timesheets by department

Use department filtering when managers need to review only their teams.

  1. Open Timesheets.
  2. Open the current pay period.
  3. Select a department from the top-right filter.
  4. Review and finalise for that department.
  5. Repeat for each required department.

Department filter in timesheets

In Pre-Submit, start with (ALL), then switch to individual departments to review team totals.

Cleaner summary view

Use Hide Empty Rows and Hide Empty Columns in Pre-Submit to focus on payable values.

For the full department process, see Timesheets by department.

Edit by Staff Member

Use Edit by Staff Member when you want to check one employee at a time across the pay period.

This is useful when daily checks are delayed and you need a final person-by-person pass before submission.

Requirements

  • Timesheet days must be finalised first.
  • If days are not finalised, the tool will prompt and block editing.
