User Manual · Chapter 9 — Time Tracking

9.10 Settings that shape Time Tracking — rates, approval, granularity

The module's behaviour is set on the company record (System Setup → Companies; the mechanics are in the Implementation Manual). Seven settings, each with its default:

  • Timesheet approval required — on by default. Off, and submitting an entry approves it on the spot (§9.5): one less hand-off, one less control.
  • Timesheet granularity — week by default; bulk submit/approve actions widen to whole employee-weeks. Set row to move entries one at a time.
  • Overtime enabled — off by default. On, entries split into regular and overtime on save (§9.5).
  • Overtime daily hours — 8; the day's hours beyond this are overtime.
  • Overtime weekly hours — 40; the week's hours beyond this are overtime.
  • Overtime multiplier — 1.5; what overtime hours are priced at in the billable view and on invoices (§9.5).
  • Fixed-price progress billing — off by default; fixed-price projects cannot be billed until it is on (§9.5).

The rates themselves are not settings but master data: the project's hourly rate and agreed price (§9.6), and the employee's billable and cost rates (§8.4). Change them in the open — entries already recorded keep the rates they were snapshotted with.
