    • Enter the Maximum number of hours in a work day.

      • Default is 8 hours.

    • Enter Track time in advance for days. This represents how many days in advance can employees track their time for.

      • Default is 30 days.

IMPORTANT: Once you save a time period, and time sheets have been submitted, the time period is fixed and cannot be changed. Therefore, it is important to make sure you pick the right period.

Create a Team

  • Provide a Team Name, Description and Lead. A Lead is an individual who would approve timesheets for that team.
