You can submit worked hours directly from the Time Tracking section in the Remote People platform.

Access Time Tracking

  1. Open the Time Tracking menu from the left-side navigation panel.

  2. The main Time Tracking page displays all previous timesheets and available monthly drafts.

  3. To enter hours:

    • Select the row for the desired month, or

    • Click Add Hours in the top-right corner to open the current month’s timesheet.


​

Add Worked Hours

Enter your worked hours for each calendar day using the available fields.


Time Entry Format

The following fields must use the format:

  • AM/PM hh:mm

This applies to:

  • Start

  • End

  • Overtime Start

  • Overtime End

Important — Overtime requires pre-approval: Overtime must be approved in writing by your client or manager before it is worked. Logging overtime hours without prior written approval may result in those hours not being compensated. Check your employment contract and confirm approval with your manager before entering overtime.

Example:

  • 09:00 AM

  • 06:30 PM

Breaks and Lunch Format

Break and lunch fields must be entered as total durations.

Example:

  • 01h 00m

  • 00h 30m

Add Multiple Entries for the Same Day

If you worked multiple shifts or schedules on the same day:

  1. Click Add Entry below the existing row.

  2. A new row will appear for the same calendar day.

  3. To remove an additional entry, click the red X icon.

This feature is useful for split shifts or multiple working periods in one day.

Non-Working Days

To leave a day as a non-working day:

  • Remove all values from the fields for that date.

Empty rows are treated as non-working days.

Submit the Timesheet

After entering all hours:

  1. Click Submit Hours.

  2. A summary pop-up will appear showing the submitted values.

  3. Review the information carefully.

  4. Click Confirm to finalize the submission.

Once confirmed:

  • The timesheet status changes from Draft to Pending

  • The timesheet becomes available for employer or manager review

After Submission: Approval

Once your timesheet status changes to Pending, it is sent to your employer or manager for review. Here is what to expect:

  • Approval timeline: Your manager or client reviews and approves the timesheet, typically within a few business days. Timelines vary by employer.

  • Once approved: The status changes from Pending to Approved.

Timesheet Submission Types

Your employer may configure one of the following submission methods:

Single Submission

  • The timesheet can only be submitted once

  • Submission is typically completed at the end of the month

Multiple Submissions

  • Multiple submissions are allowed throughout the month

  • Additional submissions can only be made after the previous submission has been approved

The approval workflow remains the same for both submission types.

Important Notes

  • Approved holidays and leave requests may automatically appear in the timesheet.

  • Terms and conditions displayed during submission may vary depending on:

    • Country requirements

    • Employment agreement

    • Employer configuration

  • Timesheet entries should always align with the employee’s agreed working schedule and employment contract.​
