Contractor timesheet settingsMandatory – one option must be selected:

Image Upload – a Contractor will not be able to submit a timesheet record on the portal unless there is an image attached, the image attached maybe a signed paper timesheet from the client

Timesheet settingsMandatory – options must be completed:
Client authorisation for timesheets – if this box is ticked, Contractors timesheets will be required to be approved by a Client User
Timesheet Authoriser – select which client user will be responsible for approving the Contractor timesheets relevant to this assignment, you are able to stack multiple approvers if required

Canceled Period – if a Contractor will be on leave for a full pay period, users have the ability to cancel the whole period for the Contractor so that they will not be required to submit any timesheet data for that period. This field is stackable, so if the Contractor requires multiple periods to be canceled this is possible.
