Classic timesheets provide history of who approved timesheets, which is not appearing in the 'new' version. This feature is handy for someone processing payroll so we know who to follow up any queries with.

Would also be good to open an employees timesheet and click next to view the next employee's timesheet.

Hi Team,
I believe this feature would be very beneficial and important for us, as it would allow us to review and track any changes made to the timesheets when reconciling the WIP at month-end.
Having an audit trail would make it much easier to identify and review any changes after the initial timesheet submission.
Thanks!

Definitely agree with this. The classic view showed 'who' approved the timesheets, but the new view doesn't - why? There are steps to processing that should be showed clearly. We need to see who the approvers are. Also, why must you go out of a timesheet and click into each next timesheet separately, instead of having a button that says 'next' which just takes you to the next timesheet? So much time wasted.

Given there is a history audit record on invoices and bills and other screens including employee info, why not in timesheets - shouldn't be hard to add.

In the new timesheets, I can't even find information on when the timesheet was approved (or last edited). Which is complete bollocks.

I thoroughly support this idea.
I believe that the 'last edited' time stamp does not reflect the time and date when the timesheet was acutally submitted.

Having the ability to view an audit trail of approvals for all timesheets - not just the ones generated by an employee via XeroMe - is a critical function for internal payroll processes.

Payroll is an area where a clear trail is important to provide visibility around valid authorisations and also to identify which authorising individuals have approved incorrect payroll data.

Extremely useful when establishing robust internal payroll processes.

Currently we use Clockify (www.clockify.me) for our few employees. It's a free tool "used by millions" and it fabulous.
I was considering using the built-in option within Xero but not without an audit tool.

This is such an important point that we have found Xero lacking as well.
If timesheets are submitted with the 'time from and to' setting then it will show the start and end times the employee puts in and the differences made by payroll however this doesn't allow the employee to select the tracking categories. Employees can only allocate hours to tracking categories when timesheets are in 'Total hours' setting and then there is no record of start/ finish time, break time or changes made by the timesheet approver or payroll.
I feel an amalgamation of the 2 timesheet settings would be ideal where the employee can add example
8:30am - 11:30am tracking category A,
11:30am - 12:30pm unpaid lunch then
12:30pm - 5:00pm tracking category B,

UK Timesheet Approval - we would like to see who approved the timesheet, date and time stamped ?

Time logs in timesheets. I will be very helpful if there are time logs, when updating timesheets. We can see when our employees has updated their timesheets, if that is on time or late. This will help us trough chasing purposes.

Hello Xero - we definitely need an audit trail with timesheets - we need to be able to see all changes made, and we need to be able to copy all submissions by employees as when they re-submit an already submitted timesheet the original submission is deleted and no copy kept....this would be of the greatest support to deal with discrepancies and unbecoming behaviour......as stated by Shelley Maine AI are advising that an audit trail for timesheets is available!!!!

Would be very useful to have timesheet history at the bottom of the timesheets, for audit purposes

As an employer, I have many "discussions" with employees who advise me that they did not get paid on the pay cycle. We have a documented "cut-off" for all timesheets to be submitted, so that the pay run can be finalised and pay's "paid" to all employees. This is a crucial bit of information that employers must have access to......

Add an automated time record of the time that the timesheet entry was recorded. We can then ensure that our team are entering their timesheets throughout the day as they work on files.
