Time Groups for Timesheets

Time groups allow you to distribute timesheet administration responsibilities among different administrators based on groups of employees and set up time categories by groups of employees.

For example, you can establish time groups for the employees who share the same job function, work in the same department, or work in the same office.

On the Time Groups tab in Time Settings, a system administrator sets up time groups and assigns employees to them. Alternatively, you can assign a time group to an employee on the Time & Expense tab in the Employees hub. On the Time & Expense tab, you also give an employee group-level administrative access, which allows them to edit new and in-progress timesheets and submit and post timesheet for the employees in a time group.

When you use time groups, you can set up time categories by time groups, instead of having one set of time categories for all employees. Time categories define projects that employees charge time to regularly, such as vacation time. The categories display automatically on timesheets, allowing employees to charge time to the category without having to enter project data. You set up time categories on the Time Categories tab in Settings > Time.

Time groups are optional.
