Logging Hours

Employees log their hours against open pay periods. Plantrunner supports batch entry so you can log multiple days at once.

Submitting a timesheet entry

1. Navigate to Timesheets in the sidebar
2. Click Add Hours
3. For each entry, fill in:
   • Date (required) -- Must fall within an open pay period
   • Hours (required) -- Number of hours worked (supports decimals, e.g., 7.5)
   • Description -- Work performed (required if enabled in company settings)
   • Location -- Where you worked (required if enabled in company settings)
4. Click Save

Batch entry

You can add multiple time entries in a single submission. Each entry needs its own date, hours, and optional details. Entries can span different open pay periods -- Plantrunner automatically assigns each entry to the correct pay period based on the date.

Validation rules

• Each date must fall within an open pay period
• No duplicate dates within the same submission
• You cannot create a new entry for a date that already has an existing timesheet entry (edit the existing entry instead)
• Hours must be a valid number (0-24, in 0.5 increments)

Editing entries

You can edit a timesheet entry only while its status is Pending. Once approved or rejected, the entry is locked.

To edit:

1. Find the entry in the Timesheets table
2. Click the Edit button (pencil icon)
3. Update the fields
4. Save

Deleting entries

Pending entries can be deleted. Click Delete on the entry and confirm.

Which pay period?

When you select a date, Plantrunner automatically determines which pay period it belongs to. You can only log time against open pay periods. If no open pay period covers your date, contact your admin.

See Pay Periods for more information.
