⏰ What is Time Reporting?
Time reporting lets you log the hours you work on different projects throughout the week. At the end of each week, you submit your timesheet to your manager for approval. This helps with accurate payroll and project tracking.
🚀 Getting Started
Before You Can Log Time
You must be assigned to projects by your manager or administrator
Time tracking must be activated for your organisation
Check your project assignments in the time tracking section
Hence, if you can't see any projects or the time tracking option in your employee portal, please contact your manager. You have probably not been assigned yet to a project in the Admin portal.
📋 Accessing Your Timesheet
You can access time tracking in two ways:
Dashboard Widget - Click the "Timesheet" widget on your portal dashboard
Portal Menu - Click "Timesheet" in the portal navigation (if available)
Both will take you to your timesheet where you can view and manage your time entries.
