Question

weekly time entries

One of our employees has said that they used to be able to enter time into a weekly grid (similar to attached image) with clients/projects on the left column and each day of the week across the board.  He says that now, they can only add one day at at time.  Is there a way that employees can go back entering time weekly as opposed to daily?

I admire you for sharing a screenshot with us, @labix.

 

I'll explain how we can work around this issue so your employee can enter a weekly timesheet in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

I recommend having your employee log out from your QBO account and have them logged back in. This is to refresh the system and for updates to take effect.

 

Once done, have them follow these steps in entering a weekly timesheet in QBO:

 

  1. Go to the Time menu.
  2. Select Add Time, and choose an employee or contractor.
  3. Adjust the date range if necessary and select a day.
  4. Add hours worked, or turn Start/end times on to enter a start time and end time for that day. 
  5. Click the Add work details to add a customer or project, make the timesheet billable, and any other applicable options.
  6. Select Add to add more timesheets for that employee.
  7. When done, select Save or Save and Close.

I'm also including this article, which will assist you in tracking and billing customers for the number of hours spent on a project: Turn on and set up time tracking in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'm just a post away if you need more help entering time in QBO. Layout the details in your reply and I'll take care of them for you. Have a good one!

Hi JasoV

Thanks for your reply.  Is this something the employee can do?  If not, would I have to do this each week for the employee?

Hello there, @labix. Allow me to join the thread and share information about tracking time. 

 

I've read your original post, and it seems that the employee is trying to enter time on the Project menu. If this is the case, let them enter a weekly timesheet by going to the + New button.

 

Let me show you the detailed steps:

  1. In the left menu on your QBO account, click the + New button.
  2. Under the Employees column, select Weekly timesheet. 
  3. Enter the necessary information to complete the fields.
  4. Select Save and close.
