Worklog and timesheets

Worklog is the work. It is counted from the moment a fieldworker starts a job in the mobile app to the moment they finish it, one stretch per job, and the Worklog tab adds those stretches up.

It is not the same as attendance, and it is not meant to be. Somebody in at 10 and out at 8 has ten hours of attendance; if their day was a three-hour job and a two-hour job, their worklog is five. Attendance says they were at work, worklog says what the work was.

The Payroll Timesheet

Users → a user → Worklog

The report at the top of the tab is the Payroll Timesheet: the hours for a period with what they come to in money, which is the one report of the time reports that carries an amount at all.

Date beside its name sets the range it covers, and opens a calendar to change it.

Three totals follow, each with tick boxes that fold more time into the figure above them:

• Total job time — the time on jobs. Including break time adds the breaks taken during them, and Including travel time adds the driving as well, which turns the figure into the whole working span rather than the time on site.
• Total travel time — the driving on its own, with Including break time to add breaks taken on the road.
• User Amount — what the time comes to at this person’s rate, with Including Expense to add their claims for the period.

The tick boxes are the report, not settings: tick one and the total above it changes, so the same range can be read as time on site, or as everything the day cost.

Three buttons sit in the corner:

• Auto Email sends the report on a schedule rather than someone remembering to.
• Print produces it as a printed sheet.
• Export takes it out as a file, which is the route to a payroll system or a spreadsheet.

Job Time by Date

Users → a user → Worklog

Below the totals the same period is broken down a day at a time. Each row shows the day’s Expense, Job Time and Amount, and the chevron opens it to the individual jobs behind those figures — which job, how long it took, what it came to.

Including off-day overtime, top right, adds work done outside the person’s normal working days, for the weekend call-out that would otherwise be missing from the week.

This is where a timesheet gets checked. A day that looks wrong opens to the jobs that made it, and the job that ran long is visible rather than inferred.
