Defining a Timesheet

The timesheet is a combination of both time spent at work and time absent from work. The record allows supervisors to see a complete picture of time and attendance and allows the business office to apply contractual rules to this raw time for payroll.

Timesheet Example

To better understand how the timesheet works, let's look at an example:

June is a Food Service Coordinator. On Monday and Tuesday, they worked their scheduled hours.

On Wednesday, Sandy took a sick day, which was paid.

On Thursday, she worked one additional hour than what was scheduled and left a comment for the approver.

Friday was an unpaid holiday for Instructional Aides, and we see Sandy's scheduled hours adjusted accordingly on her timesheet.

Underneath their timesheet, we can see a summary of June's work-week.

This timesheet is now ready for review and approval by the appropriate supervisors. If mistakes are noticed during review, a supervisor with the right permissions can make the necessary corrections.
