In Sage HR, you can enter the hours you have worked using the Timesheets module. This helps your employer calculate your salary and check if you're meeting your contracted hours.

You may need to enter your hours manually for the following reasons:


Access your timesheets

  1. On the main menu, click Timesheets (or on the main menu click My profile, then Timesheets).

    📎NOTE: If you're an admin or manager doing this for an employee, click Timesheets on the main menu, then select the relevant employee to see their timesheets. Alternatively, go to their profile and click Timesheets.​

  2. At the top make sure you enter timesheet hours in the correct period. If you need to enter timesheet hours for a different period, click the dropdown arrow next to the period, and select the correct one.

  2. Enter your start time and finish time.​

  3. If required, fill in your break start and break finish.

  4. If required, you can leave a comment.

  5. Click Save changes.

Once your timesheet hours have been entered or amended you'll see your total hours and your Difference (contract hours minus your total hours worked).

📌TIP: At the bottom, for the period you’re viewing you can see

  • Total hours

  • Contract hours

  • Difference

This is a useful way to see whether you've worked below your contracted hours, or whether you're owed overtime or time owed in lieu (TOIL).
