Can employees Update 0 time entries in Timesheets?

In timesheet policies, you need can define the minimum number of hours an employee can submit for timesheets. The minimum value you can enter here is 1. You cannot enter 0 as the minimum value.

However in cases where an employee who is assigned to projects may not work on projects for a day or any number of days as there are other tasks the employee has to look after which do not require timesheet entries. In such cases, the employee may not enter any time entries for those days.

For such scenarios, employees can leave the period blank and still be able to submit the timesheets. Such Submissions are called Empty timesheet submissions. 

As you can see in the above screenshot, you have the option to submit timesheets even though there are no timesheet entries for the whole week.

Empty timesheet submissions do not follow the regular approval process. If an employee submits empty timesheets they will be waiting for approval in the Empty Timesheet Approvals page under Timesheet Approvals. Admins need to take action on such submissions.

They can check the box available and choose to Approve or reject such submissions.

Hope it is now clear how employees can submit empty timesheets. Need more help? You can refer to the other articles available or Contact us!
