The week

The Week tab is where hours are entered and read. Everyone sees their own week; approvers also see the tabs covered in Approving hours and labour cost.

Reading the week

The week’s entries with a running total. The date controls move between weeks.

Each entry carries:

Field
From / Finish	Start and end
Break (min)	Unpaid time, so paid hours are hours worked rather than time on site
Hours	What that works out to
Job	Which project the time is against
Task or code	Where the cost lands
Status	Draft, Submitted, Approved

Add a job to the week puts a job onto the week so time can be entered against it — useful when hours are typed at a desk rather than clocked in on site.

Entry details opens one entry to correct it.

Split the week by job

A supervisor across four sites in a week produces entries against four jobs, not one total.

That is the whole point of the module. Without the split, labour is a business overhead — you know the week cost $8,400 and nothing about which job absorbed it. With it, each job carries its real labour cost, and cost against budget includes the largest cost most builders never allocate.

Entering versus clocking

Hours reconstructed on Friday are wrong in a predictable direction — round numbers, forgotten short visits, and the half-day nobody can place.

Clocking in and out on the phone takes one tap and produces a real time. See Timesheets on the phone.

Clock in before you start, not after

The entry records when you tapped, not when you meant to. Tapping at 7am and starting at 7am produces a true record; tapping at 10am and estimating backwards produces exactly the thing you were trying to get away from.

Submitting

Entries start as Draft. Submitting hands them to an approver.

Nothing is costed to a job until it is approved, so submitting commits nothing — it just says the week is ready to be looked at. An approver can approve Draft entries too, for the person who never presses Submit.

If a week is sent back, the reason appears on your week. Fix the entries and submit again.

Correcting entries

Entries can be corrected until they are approved. A clock-out that never happened, a break that was not recorded, a job picked wrongly on a phone — all normal, and all better fixed than left.

Once approved, an approver has to unapprove it before it can change, which also takes the cost back off the job.
