Timesheets — time & attendance review
Updated 21 July 2026
Reviewing and Approving Timesheets
The Timesheets screen gives managers a single place to review every staff member's hours for a given week, approve shifts, and export a payroll-ready file. It's designed for anyone responsible for signing off on crew time before pay runs.
Getting There
Navigate to Schedule → Timesheets. The page opens on the current ISO week by default.
Navigating Between Weeks
Use the ‹ and › arrow buttons to step backward or forward one week at a time. The date range shown (e.g. *Mon 2 Jun – Sun 8 Jun*) confirms which week you're viewing. A This week label appears when you're on the current week.
Reading the Timesheet Lines
Each row represents one assigned shift for a named staff member. For every row you can see:
- Staff name and Role
- Date of the shift
- Scheduled hours — based on the rostered start and end times
- Actual hours — derived from check-in and check-out data
- Paid hours — the hours that feed wage calculations, accounting for breaks and any approved-hours override
- Regular hours and Overtime hours — split according to your scheduling preferences
- Total cost — paid hours multiplied by the applicable rate
- Status badge — one of Ready to submit, Awaiting approval, or Approved
Open shifts and cancelled shifts are excluded automatically.
Approving a Timesheet Line
- Locate the shift row you want to action.
- Use the available action button for that row to Submit, Approve, or Reopen the line depending on its current status.
- A confirmation toast appears when the action succeeds.
You can also edit the approved hours field on a row before approving if the actual hours need a manual correction.
Exporting for Payroll
Click Export CSV (top-right) to download a spreadsheet containing all visible rows plus a totals footer. The file name includes the week date range for easy filing. If the week has no shifts, the export is blocked and a notice appears.

Tip: Timesheet costs roll up from the same shift wage data used in event quotes — keeping your labour budgets and payroll figures in sync.
