How to Create, Edit, and Submit Timesheets
This article explains how to:
Create a new timesheet
Edit draft or rejected timesheets
Submit working hours correctly
Recall submitted timesheets
Manage non standard workweeks and rest days
How to Create a New Timesheet
You can create a new timesheet in two ways.
Option 1: From the Home Page
On the Home page, click Add Hours to Timesheet from the quick action buttons.
Option 2: From the Time Tracking Section
Using the sidebar menu:
Navigate to Time Tracking
Open the module
Click Add Hours
How to Fill in Your Timesheet
Timesheets are organized by week from Monday to Sunday.
Use the < and > arrows to move between weeks.
For each working day, record:
Start time
End time
Break duration, including lunch breaks
If overtime applies, record:
Overtime start time
Overtime end time
To add hours for a future week, click the > arrow to navigate forward.
How to Edit a Draft or Rejected Timesheet
If your timesheet is still in Draft status or was rejected, you can edit and resubmit it.
Steps:
Open the Time Tracking section from the sidebar
Select the timesheet marked as:
Draft
Rejected
Make the necessary updates
Save your changes
Resubmit the timesheet when ready
How to Recall a Submitted Timesheet
If your timesheet has already been submitted but is still pending approval, you can recall it.
Steps:
Locate the submitted timesheet
Click the three dot menu (⋯)
Select Recall
Once recalled, you can edit the timesheet and submit it again.
Important:
You can only recall timesheets with a Pending status. Approved timesheets can no longer be recalled.
Non Standard Workweeks and Rest Days
If your work schedule does not follow a standard Monday to Friday workweek, you can configure your regular rest days.
How to Set Rest Days
Click + Rest Day and select your regular non working days.
Your selected rest days should match:
Your employment agreement
Your approved work schedule
Example:
If your contract states you work Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday should normally be selected as rest days.
If your contract does not specify workdays, follow the schedule provided by your manager.
Important Notes About Rest Days
Rest days are different from:
Annual leave
Public holidays
Sick leave
Incorrect rest day selections may delay payroll processing or timesheet approvals.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Overtime not appearing in your payslip
Check that your timesheet was fully submitted — the status must show Pending or Approved, not Draft. Hours in Draft status are not sent to payroll.
Confirm your overtime was pre-approved in writing by your manager before it was worked. Unapproved overtime may not be compensated regardless of submission.
Check whether the timesheet was submitted and approved before the 15th of each month (or the preceding business day if the 15th falls on a weekend). See Payroll Cut-Off Dates for 2026. If approved after the cutoff, overtime pay will appear in the following month's payslip.
If all of the above are confirmed and overtime still does not appear, contact Remote People support.
Cannot access timesheets or seeing a ‘no permission’ error
Make sure you are using the Remote People platform — not Payworks, Horizon, or another payroll system. Time Tracking is managed in the Remote People platform only.
Try logging out and back in, clearing your browser cache, or opening an incognito window.
Time Tracking access is controlled by your company admin. If the issue persists, ask your admin to review your permissions.
Cannot edit a submitted timesheet
Timesheets can only be edited when their status is Draft or Rejected.
If your timesheet is Pending, use the Recall option (three-dot menu → Recall) to withdraw it, then make your edits and resubmit.
If your timesheet is Approved, it can no longer be edited. Contact Remote People support for assistance.
