Staff Timesheets

Using the Staff Timesheets program, employees who have been allocated as Approvers (for specific Position Roles) can review and approve submitted timesheets. It also allows Power Users to view and maintain timesheets.

The Staff Timesheets Grid

The Staff Timesheet Grid will display a list of timesheets that are assigned to the logged-on user. 

The Staff Timesheet Grid will be populated as follows:

Where the user does not have permission to access 'All Staff', the Grid will be populated with 'Unapproved' timesheets that are assigned to the logged-on user.

Where the user does have permission to access 'All Staff', the Grid will be populated with all 'Unapproved' timesheets.

Refer to the administrator note below for details.

Click here for an Administrator Note.

Access to the Staff Kiosk 'Staff Timesheets' program is controlled by Staff Kiosk Payroll/HR > Timesheets permissions on the 'Staff Timesheets' security point(s). These security points give Approvers/Power Users access to timesheets assigned to them (separate security points exist for '---Add Timesheets' and '---Edit Timesheets').

Access to all Staff Timesheets in this program is controlled by the additional permission: Staff Kiosk Payroll/HR > Timesheets permissions '---All Staff' security point.

To enable this function use TASS.web program System Admin > Users > Portal Security Permissions.
