# Logging & Submitting Timesheets

> How to log daily hours, submit timesheets for manager approval, and track RDO, TIL, and Flexi balances — built for Australian workplaces.

The **Timesheets** page is where you record your daily hours. Go there from the left sidebar.

***

## Adding a timesheet entry

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Timesheets page">
    Click **Timesheets** in the navigation sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click on a day">
    Click any day in the calendar or timeline to open the entry panel on the right side.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in your hours">
    Add your start time, end time, and break duration. The system calculates your net hours automatically.

    Optionally add:

    * **Notes** — a short description of what you worked on
    * **Project & Task** — link your hours to a specific project task
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save as Draft">
    Click **Save as Draft** to save the entry without submitting it. You can come back and edit it anytime.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You can add multiple time logs to a single day if you worked on different things. Click **Add Time Log** inside the entry panel.
</Note>

***

## Submitting timesheets for approval

Once you're happy with your entries, submit them to your manager.

**Submitting individual entries:**

* Open a day's entry panel → click **Submit**

**Submitting in bulk:**

* Check the boxes next to multiple draft entries in the calendar
* Click **Submit Selected** in the sticky action bar at the top
* Or click **Submit All** to submit every open draft at once

<Tip>
  Use **Ctrl+Z** (or **Cmd+Z** on Mac) to undo a submission if you submitted by mistake.
</Tip>

## Entry statuses

| Status        | What it means                                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**     | Saved but not yet submitted. Only you can see it.               |
| **Submitted** | Sent to your manager for review. You can withdraw it if needed. |
| **Approved**  | Your manager has approved the entry.                            |
| **Rejected**  | Your manager rejected it and left a reason. Edit and resubmit.  |

***

## Withdrawing a submission

If you submitted too early and need to make changes:

1. Click the day in the calendar
2. In the entry panel, click **Withdraw**

The entry returns to **Draft** status and you can edit it.

***

## Viewing calendar vs. timeline

Use the toggle at the top of the page to switch between:

* **Calendar view** — month grid with colour-coded status badges per day
* **Timeline view** — a horizontal bar chart of your hours per day

***

## Understanding the stats

The three cards at the top show:

* **Total Worked** — hours you've logged this month
* **Scheduled** — hours you were expected to work (based on your assigned schedule)
* **Overtime** — hours above your scheduled total

<Note>
  If you're on a **Flexible schedule**, the Scheduled and Overtime cards won't appear since there's no fixed target.
</Note>

## Dealing with duplicate entries

If Shiftsheet detects that you may have duplicate entries for the same day, a warning panel appears at the top of the page. Review and delete any duplicates before submitting.
