Reports
Timesheet compliance
Who has time they have not submitted, how far back it goes, and how quickly weeks are decided.
The question it answers: is the time we bill from complete? The report shows who has time they have not submitted, how far back it goes, and how quickly submitted weeks are decided.
Before you start
- You need permission to approve timesheets. People who manage the team see everyone in the business; anyone else sees the people who report to them.
- This report is part of plans with advanced reports. Without it, the page shows an upgrade prompt.
Steps at a glance
Read the report
Step 01
Open the report
Select Reports, then Timesheet compliance under Admin.
1: Timesheet compliance on the Reports page. Step 02
Choose the period
Use This month, Last month, This year or the two dates. The line under the dates says whose time you are looking at. The figures show People behind, total Time not submitted, and Weeks sent back.
In the demo business this month, 6 of 36 people are behind, with 67 hours not submitted. Step 03
Chase the right person
Each row shows the time Not submitted and the Oldest of it, or Up to date; then Weeks submitted, how many were Sent back, and the Approval time, how long their submitted weeks waited for a decision. Search by name, or select Export.
Two backlogs, two owners. Time not submitted is with the person who did the work. A slow approval time is with their approver. Chasing the wrong one changes nothing.
Common questions
Why does the oldest matter more than the total? Somebody four weeks behind is unlikely to remember what they did in week one.
Does this affect invoices? Yes. Only approved time is billed, so Work in progress and invoices are short by whatever is waiting here.
What does Nothing decided mean? None of that person's submitted weeks has been decided in the period, so there is no approval time to show.
Where do people submit? On their Timesheet.
