Timesheet approval

Your supervisor has rated your timesheet based on three factors:

  1. The accuracy of your timesheet.
  2. The completeness of your timesheet.
  3. Whether you have remained within the hourly budget for work assigned to you (where applicable).

Your score will be one of three values:

Note: These thresholds can be customised.

How does the supervisor decide on a score?

When reviewing your timesheet your supervisor notes:

  1. The accuracy of your timesheet. Correctly recorded time for clients: i.e. that the time you have logged reflects your work week accurately.
  2. The completeness of your timesheet. If your timesheet is not up to date or is missing information, your administrator may not be able to approve your timesheet and may assign a poor score.
  3. Whether you have remained within the hourly budget for work assigned to you (where applicable). For example: you may have spent 30 hours on a client out of a budget of 20 hours, resulting in your timesheet administrator assigning you a poor score.

The approval score is thus based on a combination of all the above factors.

What does the Weighted Score mean?

Each of the scores in the feedback summary is not of equal importance to your employer and for this reason each score is allocated a weighting. If a score is important to your employer, the score's weight will be higher than the weight of the other scores.

The Weighted Score is calculated by applying the weight of the score to the score achieved. In the example above the Timesheet Accuracy/Approval score has been allocated a weight of 30 (which is a high weight when compared to the rest of the scores).

Tip

To improve your score, ensure that your timesheet is accurate and that your hours are within budget where applicable.
Tip

When you want to improve your overall score, i.e. the 61 / 100 as per the example, focus on improving your score on measures such as this one. This measure normally has a high weight relative to the other measures in the feedback summary, (this is normally the case for approval). A good approval will significantly impact your overall score.
