Submitting Timesheets

Once you've logged your hours, the next step is submitting them for approval. This guide walks you through the submission process and what to expect afterward.

Before You Submit

Take a moment to review your timesheet entries:

Navigate to /timesheets
Review all entries in your Draft section
Check that dates, times, and assignments are correct
Ensure break times are accurately recorded
Add any missing notes about work completed

Once submitted, you'll need to contact the operator to make changes, so it's worth double-checking now.

Tracking Your Submission Status

Your timesheet entries move through several statuses:

Submitted	Sent to operator for review
Under Review	Operator is reviewing your hours
Queried	Operator has questions (action needed)

Responding to Queries

If an operator has questions about your timesheet:

You'll receive a notification (email and/or in-app)
Go to /timesheets and find the queried entry
Click to view the operator's question
Respond with clarification or make requested adjustments
Resubmit if changes were made

Common queries include:

Clarification on overtime hours
Questions about break durations
Verification of specific dates or times

Respond to queries promptly to avoid payment delays.

Submission Deadlines

Meeting submission deadlines is important for timely payment:

Check each operator's deadline requirements
Submit as soon as possible after completing work
Don't wait until the deadline if you can submit earlier
Set reminders if you tend to forget

Late submissions may not be processed until the following pay cycle.

Correcting Submitted Timesheets

If you notice an error after submitting:

Minor corrections — Contact the operator directly to request an adjustment
Significant errors — The operator may reject the entry so you can resubmit with corrections

To avoid this, always review carefully before submitting.

Tips for Smooth Submissions

Submit regularly — Don't let entries pile up; submit at the end of each week or pay period
Keep notes — Add clear descriptions to help operators understand your work
Be accurate — Correct hours build trust and speed up approvals
Check your details — Ensure your payment details are current in your profile

Understanding Pay Periods

Different operators may have different pay schedules:

Schedule	Submission Timing
Weekly	Submit by end of each week
Fortnightly	Submit by end of each fortnight
Monthly	Submit by end of each month

Check with each operator for their specific pay period and submission requirements.
