Enable timesheet pre-filling

Enable timesheet pre-filling in Sage HR so timesheets use working patterns or shift schedules instead of manual entry.

Written by Oliver Cook

You can save time by pre-filling timesheets in Sage HR, meaning employees don't need to manually enter their hours,

Enable timesheet pre-filling

  1. Select your name in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. Select Timesheets, then General.

  4. Scroll to Timesheet pre-filling.

  5. Choose one of these options:

    • Don’t pre-fill

    • Pre-fill from working pattern

    • Pre-fill from scheduling

  6. Scroll down and select Save.

Choose a pre-filling option

  • Don’t pre-fill: Employees enter all hours manually

  • Pre-fill from working pattern: Sage HR uses the employee’s assigned working pattern

  • Pre-fill from scheduling: Sage HR uses scheduled shift hours

📎NOTE: Pre-fill from scheduling appears only if you use the Shift Scheduling module.

Edit pre-filled hours

If Sage HR pre-fills timesheets and an employee works different hours, the employee or an admin can update the timesheet before submission.
