Using Timesheets – Remofirst

A timesheet, in essence, is a record of the time an employee spends on work-related tasks over a specific period, typically a week or a month. It serves as a crucial document for tracking work hours and ensuring accurate payroll. Think of it as a digital logbook that replaces manual methods, providing a clear and organized way to account for your workdays.

How does the timesheet work?

Here's how the timesheet works:

Effortless Hour Logging (Employee)
If your role requires timesheet submission, you'll find the Timesheet feature readily accessible within the Remofirst platform. Here, you'll easily record your daily work hours, detailing the time spent on various activities as needed.
Manager Review & Action
Once your timesheet is submitted, your manager will receive immediate notifications both via email and within the Remofirst platform. This ensures prompt review. Your manager will then carefully examine the submitted hours and take one of two actions:
- Approve: If the timesheet accurately reflects your work, the manager will approve it.
- Reject: If there are any discrepancies or if further clarification is needed, the manager will reject the timesheet, providing specific feedback for you.
Seamless Correction & Resubmission (Employee)
If your timesheet is rejected, it will be returned to you within the platform along with your manager's feedback. You can then review the comments, make the necessary corrections to your entries, and resubmit the updated timesheet for approval.
Final Processing (Remofirst Partners)
Once your timesheet is approved by your manager, it is automatically routed to our trusted local partners. They will then use this accurate record of your work hours for efficient and timely payroll processing.
