Adding Employee Timesheets

Managers can add an employee time entry for an employee. For example, if an employee had to leave unexpectedly before entering a their time, a manager can add a time entry for the employee on the Approve Timesheets form.

To add an employee time entry, complete the following steps:

  1. Access the Approve Timesheets form using Manager>Approve Timesheets. For more information, see Add Timesheet.
  2. Note: If you do not see the Manager>Approve Timesheets option in EWS, you do not have Manager timesheet permissions specified for your employee ID in the HR Management module. For more information about Manager timesheet permissions, see Understanding Permissions.

  3. Select the name of the employee for which you want to add a timesheet, and click the Add button. This opens the Add Timesheet page.
  4. Enter the appropriate information, and then click Add.
  5. Once you have completed adding time to the employee’s timesheet, close the page
  6. Click Save to save the time entry and refresh the page.

Note: If Require employees to submit timesheets is enabled in EWS > System Settings, the employee must submit any time added by the manager. Otherwise, when a manager enters employee time information, it is automatically approved.
