Submitting Timesheets (worker guide)
If you are required to submit time entries, navigate to the Time and Attendance section of your Xemplo portal.
Depending on the preferences of your employer, this screen may presenting a week, fortnight, or a month of timesheet entries. To navigate to a different period use the filtering tools at the top of the screen.
To enter a timesheet for a specific date, find the date in the list, and click "+ Add entry"
A form will slide in from the right side of the screen.
Enter the following information:
- Work Type: select the work type that applies to the entry you're creating, from the available options, e.g. I worked, Sick leave, etc.
- Shift start and Shift end: enter the times you clocked in and out of the shift.
- Break start and Break end: if applicable, enter the start and end time of your break. Break times must fall with the shift start and end times.
- Additional breaks. If you had more than one break, you will be able to add subsequent after entering the first one.

Time entries you create will be in a draft status which will allow you to review and make any modifications before submitting them for approval by your manager.
If you wish to add another entry for the same day, select the option to "Add another line".
When you are ready to submit the timesheets for the week, click the Submit button at the top. This will submit all the draft timesheets in your current time period.
