Sometimes, you may need to submit a timesheet for a contractor manually. Whether due to a missed deadline, technical issue, or other reason. Follow the steps below to complete this process efficiently:

You can access it via the menu "Create Manual Timesheet".

(or) go to User Timesheet List, and press the CREATE MANUAL TIMESHEET button in the top right.



Step 1: Basic Details (Mandatory)

  • Contractor – Select the contractor.

  • Assignment – Choose the relevant assignment. If none, create one.

  • Month – Select the correct month.

  • Period – Choose the specific time period.

  • Image Upload (Optional) – Attach receipts or signed timesheets if needed.

  • Compliance Indicator – Shows the contractor’s compliance status.

Step 2: Add Timesheet Line(s)

  • Rate Type – Select from available rates (from the Assignment).

    • If a new rate is needed regularly, update the Assignment.

    • For one-off rates, use Ad Hoc Entry.

  • Units – Enter hours/days worked.

  • Override – Tick to manually edit Pay/Charge rates.

  • Pay Rate / Charge Rate – Default from Assignment or override if needed.

  • Expense – Tick if the entry is for an expense.

  • VAT Override – Tick to manually adjust VAT.

  • + Add – Add more lines or ad hoc entries.

  • Notes – Use the NOTES button to add comments.

Step 3: Save or Submit

  • DRAFT – Save if incomplete or pending approval.

    • Access later via User Timesheet > Manual Timesheet (filter by status).

  • SUBMIT – Finalize and approve the timesheet.

Note: Submitted manual timesheets are automatically approved.

🔹 Step 4: Add Expenses (Optional)

Use Draft with Expense or Submit with Expense at the top of the screen.

Expense Options:

Option

Description

Draft

Saves expense; must submit later in Expenses screen.

Submit

Approves expense. Timesheet must still be submitted separately (if using "Draft with Expense").

Submit with Expense

Submits and approves both timesheet and expense together — ready for batching.

Things to remember:

  1. Confirm hours/rates with the contractor before submission.

  2. Use Override only for one-time changes.

  3. Edit the Assignment for recurring rate changes.

  4. Attach receipts if expenses are included.
