Timesheets is a module that can be enabled in ESS. Once enabled and configured, ESS users will be able to create and submit timesheets, manually or automatically, for their position(s).
In order for an employee’s position to be considered as a timesheet position, in USPS, the ‘Timesheet Required' checkbox must be enabled on the employee’s position record. Also ensure the timesheet position has a supervisor assigned to it. Please refer to USPS Mass Load chapter for details on how to mass load these fields.
Configuring Timesheets
Role: Admin or District Manager
For districts who plan to use Timesheets in ESS, the following must be configured:
Under System>Configuration>ESS Functionality Configuration, ensure ‘Employee Time Sheet’ is checked. This change will not take full effect until the page is refreshed.
Once enabled, additional options will appear under the System>Configuration. They include:
Timesheet Workflows
Role: Timesheet Manager, District Manager or Admin
Once timesheets is enabled, the user can create workflows (groups and group chains) for timesheet employees. Please refer to Groups and Group Chains in the User chapter for more information.
