Best Practices in Uploading Time Log

Written by Pete Neubig | Jan 20, 2022 2:15:00 PM

It is very important for a VA to know exactly how, why, and when to upload their timesheets.

Logging Your Time

  • Upload your timesheets daily, make it an end-of-day task on your calendar.
  • Work with your employer to determine how they would like you to add time.  Do you add a timecard for each block of hours you work or for the full day.  

Example 8 am - 12 is one time card than 1:00 - 5:00 is the second time card OR 8:00 - 4:00 is the only time card.

  • Determine what time zone you are working.  You want to add your time in the time zone you are working to make it easy for your employer to approve time.
  • Write in a description of what you have done in the “Description of Work Completed” blank area
  • Make sure when you click the Add Time button that you see the notification of successful time added in the bottom left-hand corner.
  • Review your time log at the end of the week to see all of your days have been logged correctly.

Important About Uploading Your Hours

 

  • You cannot upload any time after Sunday of that week you are working in (SUGGESTION UPLOAD ALL TIME BEFORE SUNDAY)
  • You cannot enter time for days in the future, ie on Monday, you cannot add Tuesday’s time.
  • You cannot upload your start time as 9am and your finish time as 17:00, it must be 09:00 and 17:00.
  • If you work extra hours first get authorization from your manager, and then enter the time example 9:00 to 20:00 it will give you an error but just click Add Time button and it will go through.
