Hour Timesheet Product Guide
Step-by-step help for everything in Hour Timesheet — the same guides you see inside the app.
Getting Started
- Product overview
A tour of your account — tracking time and expenses, leave and scheduling, charge-code and people setup, and reporting — with a link into each feature's guide.
Overtime Rules
- State overtime presets
Apply a state's overtime thresholds to an overtime rule in one click — daily, weekly, double-time, and seventh-day — instead of configuring them by hand.
Leave Management
- Leave waiting periods
Hold a leave type until an employee has been on staff long enough — the request is blocked before the eligibility date and allowed after, with a clear message.
- Travel questionnaires
Attach a short typed questionnaire to a leave type so employees supply the details you need — destination, government-funded, CONUS/OCONUS, return date — on the request itself.
Team PTO Calendar
- Team PTO calendar
A month/week calendar of everyone's approved and pending time off, with employee and status filters and a clear pending-vs-approved legend.
Time Tracking
- Timesheets — entering, submitting, and approving
How employees record time against charge codes, submit a timesheet for approval, and how approvers review, approve, or reject it.
Expenses
- Tracking and approving expenses
How to record an expense with receipts, categorize it to a charge code and account, submit it for approval, and how approved expenses flow to accounting and reimbursement.
Charge Code Setup
- Charge codes, pay types, and assignments
How charge code labels, entries, pay types, and authorized charge codes fit together, and how to authorize which employees can charge which codes.
People & Roles
- Users, roles, and permissions
How to add and invite users, what the built-in roles do, how permission scopes (Self / Group / All) work, and how to create custom roles and groups.
Reports
- Generating and exporting reports
The reports available, how to choose a report type and filters, generate a report, and download it as PDF, Excel, or CSV.
