How to Enable or Disable Timesheets

Enable or Disable Timesheets, Auto-Populate times when on leave

Managing timesheets effectively is crucial for maintaining accurate employee time records. In HRLocker, timesheets are disabled by default for new employees. Here's a guide on how to enable or disable timesheets for an employee, along with configuring specific settings.

Enabling Timesheets for an Employee

  • Access Employee Directory:

    • Log in to HRLocker as an Admin or Manager with appropriate permissions.
    • Navigate to the employee’s directory and select the relevant employee.
  • Open Settings:

    • Go to the employee’s settings to manage their timesheet options.
  • Enable Timesheets:

    • Check the box to enable timesheets. This will activate the timesheet functionality for the employee.

  • Set Time On Manager:

    • Select the employee's "Time On" manager. This is the manager who will be responsible for approving the employee's timesheets.
  • Configure Timesheet Settings:

    • Prepopulated Timesheets: If the employee is not clocking in/out, timesheets will be prepopulated with their work pattern hours.
    • Start with Blank Timesheet: If you prefer the timesheets to start blank, check this option.
    • Use Clock In/Out: For employees who will be clocking in and out, enable this setting.

  • Additional Clock In/Out Options:

    • Tablet Only: Only allow the employee to clock in/out from the tablet, preventing use of the Time On app or HRLocker website.
    • Track Geolocation: Enable this to track the employee’s location when they clock in/out.
    • Restrict by IP Address: Enter the IP addresses from which the employee is allowed to clock in.
    • Create PIN: Set up a PIN number if the employee will be using a tablet for clocking in/out.

Disabling Timesheets for an Employee

  • Navigate to Employee Settings:

    • Access the same settings page where you enabled timesheets.
  • Disable Timesheets:

    • Untick 'Enable Timesheets' to turn off the timesheet functionality for the employee.

Auto-Populate Timesheets with Leave Hours

  • Navigate to Office Time On Settings:

    • This setting is managed at the office level, not individually for each employee.
  • Configure Leave Hours on Timesheets:


    • Populate Times When on Leave: Enable this setting if you want the timesheet to automatically fill in the work pattern hours for the duration of an approved leave.
    • Leave Days Blank When on Leave: Disable the above setting if you prefer to leave the timesheet days blank when an employee is on leave.
