In the list view you can see all existing timesheets within a date range. Currently the timesheet highlighted in purple shows:

  1. Work Time: The actual work hours entered in the timesheet. It includes both billable and non billable time. For example 32h
  2. Billable Time: Total billable hours entered in the timesheet, against time and materials based tasks. Non-billable hours can also be displayed
  3. Time Off: Total Time-off in the timesheet, calculated as the standard working hours in a day (or half day) for each day (or half day) booked to a time-off code

Note that time-off hours will be zero if you did not install iBE's time-off module.

Double click on the timesheet or click the 'pencil' icon on the right side to view/edit timesheet details.

As you enter hours in your timesheet daily totals are calculated and displayed at the bottom as highlighted. You cannot exceed 24 hrs in a single day. Depending on your work-schedule minimum / maximum hours per day, these daily totals may change to red or amber font. Your system administrator can set-up your timesheet to give an error or warning if you exceed the maximum, or do not book the minimum, number of daily hours in your timesheet.

Keep an eye on the total daily hours for a quick sanity check that you have recorded all your tasks on a daily basis

Your timesheet contains all the hours entered based on various tasks. If you want to make any changes you can click on any cell and enter or correct the time. In the GENERAL tab below summaries of time for the entire period are displayed:

  1. Billable: This represents the total billable hours booked across all your projects during the timesheet period
  2. Non-Billable: This represents the total non-billable hours booked across your projects or departments during the timesheet period
  3. Work Time: This represents the total time an employee / contractor has spent on work during the timesheet period, or the sum of billable and non-billable hours. It excludes any holidays and time-off
  4. Overtime: Total hours booked against projects or departments above the standard working hours. A user can book overtime as per the company policies, or it can be automatically calculated. Normally, overtime is defined as the time spent over the standard working hours. It is a subset of the Work Time (3)
  5. Time-off: Time taken off either as sick leave, vacation time or any other time-offs as per the company policies
  6. Holiday Time: Holidays are defined in the company calendar. Any holiday or groups of holidays falling - excluding weekends - within the timesheet period are shaded in grey (for example 2nd May as highlighted in purple above). You can still book time on a holiday
  7. Total: It represents a combination of Work time + Holidays + time-off time. It should be the same as hours per day x number of non-weekend days in the employee / contractor's timesheet.
