Timesheets are used to record actual work performed across both project and non-project activities.

You should complete your timesheet regularly (typically daily) to ensure:

• Accurate tracking of time worked
• Alignment with project activities
• Compliance with organisational policies

Timesheets contribute to actual resource work and reporting, and may also be used in financial tracking if integrated with project financials.

Where This Is Performed

• Work → My Timesheets (or Current Timesheet)

Completing a Timesheet

1. Navigate to Work → Current Timesheet
2. Confirm the correct Timesheet Period:
3. • Use the date picker or navigation arrows if required
3. Enter the number of hours worked in each cell for:
4. • Project tasks, and
   • Non-project activities
4. Optionally add comments using the comment icon for each entry

Tip:
Add comments when clarification is needed (e.g. unusual hours, overtime, or specific activities).

Adding Non-Project Time

1. Click + Add → Non-Project Time
2. Select the appropriate category (e.g. training, leave)
3. Enter hours for each time period

Adding Project Work

Project-related work is typically pre-loaded based on assigned tasks.

If additional tasks are required:

• Speak with your Project Manager to ensure tasks are added to the project

Tip:
Once tasks are updated, click Refresh / Load default tasks to bring them into your timesheet.

You can also:

• Use + Add → Project Tasks to include future or missing tasks
• Enter hours against those tasks in the current timesheet period

Saving and Submitting Your Timesheet

• Save
• • Records your progress
  • Allows you to continue updating your timesheet
• Submit for Approval
• • Sends your timesheet to your Timesheet Manager
  • Triggers the approval process

Important:
Even if your organisation uses auto-approval, you must still click Submit for Approval to finalise your timesheet.

After Submission

Once submitted:

• Your Timesheet Manager reviews and approves the timesheet
• Approved entries become part of your actual recorded work

Important:
Approved timesheets contribute to:

• Resource reporting
• Actual effort tracking
• Financial tracking (if actuals are imported into project financials)

Viewing Your Timesheets

• Select My Timesheets from the command bar to view all periods
• You can navigate between past and current timesheets

Tip:
If using Altus in Microsoft Teams, you can access your timesheets directly from the app to reduce context switching.

Key Considerations

• Timesheets should be completed regularly (preferably daily)
• Accurate entries support reporting and planning
• Submitted timesheets cannot be updated unless recalled
• Comments help approvers validate entries

Tips

• Enter time daily to avoid inaccuracies
• Review your entries before submission
• Ensure all required rows (project and non-project) are completed
• Use comments where needed to avoid rejection
