Timesheet printouts can be used if an employee such as an engineer works at a construction site and needs to validate his working hours per week by having it signed by an onsite superior before submitting it to the payroll department. It can also serve as reference attached to an invoice for billing clients.

 

Click the Homescreen 'Timesheet' button.

Select an employee from the employee list.

Click the 'Preview' button.

Enter a week start date to select days that have time entered.

Select Period (1 Week or 2 Weeks)

Note, Period does not change the print-out to display 1 week or 2 weeks. If you need to, you need to change the wordlink template instead
