View Company Policies on your Time and Expense Sheets

Most companies have policies governing how employees should fill-in and submit timesheets and expense sheets. Unfortunately, those policies more often than not end up in an employee manual or on a memo that people can't find when they need it. Instead, take a couple of minutes to add your policies to ClickTime (assuming you can find the memo or your employee manual) and then your employees and contractors will always have an easy way to review this info while entering their time and expenses.

custom info message Add your company policies by going to the Advanced section under the Company tab and select the “custom messages” feature. Enter your company’s policies as “info” messages for the time entry, timesheet view and expense sheet entry locations. Activating these informational messages will add links on the appropriate locations in the application so your employees can easily review the policies as needed.

If you don't see the custom messages link in the advanced section please contact support regarding how to add this feature to your account. Also, if you'd like to add messages to other parts of ClickTime, please let us know.

Filling In Your Timesheet - Make it Easier

One of the primary areas we focus on with ClickTime is to make it quick and easy for you to enter and complete your time and expense sheets.

ClickTime Web Timesheet

Some of the easiest methods for you to make this process faster reside on the "My Preferences" page and include:

  • Default task
  • Minimum entries to display per day
  • Default expense type
  • Default payment type

Correctly setting these values can quickly reduce the number of clicks required to fill in each time or expense entry. Additionally, for people who do the same type of work from day-to-day, our QuickDay and QuickWeek options can quickly fill in your timesheet for you.

It's typically overlooked during a hectic workweek how many times we repeat the same mouse-and-click actions. If we can simplify these activities for you, it can help you quickly fill in your time and expense sheets. These features and several new ones we're currently developing (stay tuned...) hopefully will make your day a bit easier.
