Timesheet

Skip Ahead To

The Timesheet page in TimeStar is used to add punches, hours, dollars, mileage, and/or units across time in bulk. If Timesheets are being used for more than one type of tracking item, is possible to have access to more than one in a single Timesheet, or have them spread out across different Timesheets.

Timesheet Templates

If similar information is entered in each time the Timesheet is used, a user may wish to create their own template with saved data that can be used for future entries, therefore shortening data entry time. For example, if a user often works from 8:00am – 5:00pm each week on Monday through Friday, a template may be created with that information to be used in future pay periods. Any variations to that data can then be easily altered as needed. To create a Timesheet template, follow the steps below:

1. Choose the appropriate timesheet from the Timesheet drop down.

2. Click the Create Template button.
