Create a Timesheet

Objective

To create a new daily timesheet with timecard entries using the project's Timesheets tool.

Background

In Procore, timecards and timecard entries are used to log the number of hours employees and workers spend doing work on a construction project. Each day, you will create a new daily timesheet. A daily timesheet contains the individual timecard entries submitted by your employees and workers for a specific date. By default, Procore's timecard entries track the work's cost code, work location, number of hours worked, time type (for example, regular or overtime), and mark whether or not the entry's hours are billable. A tool administrator also has the option to configure your project's timesheets to capture timekeeping data such as classifications and sub-jobs.

    • With the setting "Employees Can Be Tracked On All Projects" enabled, you must have at least 'Read Only' permissions on the Company Directory tool to see all employees and workers.

    • Cost Code: Enter or select from the drop-down menu the cost code(s) associated with the timecard entry.
       Tip

      The selections that are available in the 'Cost Codes' drop-down list depend on how the 'Limiting Cost Codes by Cost Types' setting is configured in your Company level Timesheets tool. See Configure Advanced Settings: Company Level Timesheets. In addition, one (1) of the following items must also be true on your project:

      • The cost code/cost type combination must be included on a budget line item in the Procore project. See Add a Budget Line Item.
        OR
      • The cost code/cost type combination must have been imported to the budget using the 'Unit Quantity Based Budget' page of the Company Admin tool. See Import a Unit Quantity Based Budget.
      • Location: Select a location from the drop-down list. This should correspond to the location where the user performed the work. If you have the appropriate permissions to add a location, see How do I add a multi-tiered location to an item?
      • Time Entry. Enter the hours worked.
        Note: The format for time entry is configured in Advanced Settings: Project Level Timesheets.
