Accountants – System role allowing users ability to export approved timesheet data to specified accounting and/our payroll software. Users with the accounting role also have access to run reports as well as associate charge codes, leave types and payroll items to groups and employees.

Admin– System role allowing management of data to/from company payroll file. The admin role is also responsible for all system setting such as overtime settings, timesheet period and notifications settings.

To assign roles to users, follow the steps below:

1. Login to Hour Timesheet as an admin
2. Navigate to the Employee menu
3. Identify the users from the list that are Supervisors, Accountants or Admins  and click the Assign Roles link.

Edit Profile

Hire Date is a required field for the leave management feature. To enter a hire date for each employee, use the Edit feature under the Employee/Employee List/More page.

User ID – is a required field for the leave management feature. To enter a User ID for each employee, use the Edit feature under the Employee/Employee List/More page. Note: for QuickBooks users, the user ID field is not required when setting up employees in your QuickBooks file. User Ids are also known as Employee Numbers. If your organization does not have established employee numbers system for your workforce, then any set of numbers will work in Hour Timesheet. For data security reasons, using an employee’s social security number is not advised.

Turn Off QuickBooks Sync

Users may be imported from QuickBooks and marked as “non-syncing” in Hour Timesheet. This feature is designed for those users who need to stay active in your company QuickBooks file yet do not need access to Hour Timesheet.
