Summary

The Timesheets feature allows employees to create or import timesheets using the Timesheets palette (PR> Timesheets). Once timesheets have been entered, they can be pulled into a Timesheets Approval batch (PR> Timesheets Approval). The Timesheets Approval process is used by department clerks to approve or modify the timesheet line items entered by the employees. Once timesheets have been modified and approved, the department clerk can create a work flow (PR> Timesheets Approval> Generate Work Flow). For example, the department clerk can send an email to the department head once the timesheets in the batch are ready to be committed. The department head can then review the timesheets and commit the Timesheets Approval batch. Work flows are an optional feature of the Timesheets process, so if you do not want to use work flows, you can skip the Generate Work Flow and Review Work Flow steps on the Timesheets Approval process.

Once the timesheets have been committed, they can be imported into a Payroll module Computer Checks batch (PR> Computer Checks> Import Timesheets).
