Timesheets let you log the hours you work on Worksuite so your client can review and approve them before processing your payment. This guide covers how to track your time using Worksuite's built-in time tracking tools.

Looking for a full overview of timesheets — including timesheet types, statuses, the approval process, and common troubleshooting? See our complete guide: Submitting and Managing Your Timesheets in Worksuite.

Where to Find Time Tracking

Time tracking is accessed directly within a task, not from the main navigation menu.

  1. Log in to your Worksuite account.
  2. Navigate to Tasks & Projects from your dashboard.
  3. Open the task you're working on.
  4. Scroll to the Timesheet section within that task.
Note: Timesheets only appear on tasks that have an hourly rate set. If you don't see a Timesheet section, your task may be fixed-price, or your client may not have enabled time tracking. Check with your client if you're unsure.

Option 1: Track Time Using the Live Timer

The live timer automatically records your start and end time while you work — no mental math required.

  1. Open your task and go to the Timesheet section.
  2. Click Start to begin recording. The timer runs in the background — you can navigate elsewhere in Worksuite while it tracks.
  3. When you stop working, return to the Timesheet section and click Stop.
  4. The entry is saved automatically with your start time, end time, and total duration.
  5. To add a note about what you worked on, click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the entry and select Edit. Type your note in the Description field. Your client can see these notes.
Time entries populate your timesheet automatically, but you still need to submit the timesheet to send it to your client for approval. Don't forget to hit Submit when you're ready!

Option 2: Add Time Manually

If you forgot to use the live timer, no problem — you can add time entries manually for any period you've already worked.

  1. Open your task and go to the Timesheet section.
  2. Click Add Time Entry Manually.
  3. Enter the start time and end time for the work session.
  4. Optionally add a description of what you worked on.
  5. Click Save. The entry is added to your timesheet.

Repeat for each work session until all your hours are logged.

Setting Up Timesheet Reminders

If your client has enabled timesheet reminders, you'll receive a notification when a timesheet period is coming to a close or when you haven't logged time in a while. These reminders are controlled by your client's settings — you can't configure them yourself — but they're a helpful nudge to keep your time logging up to date.

Submitting Your Timesheet

Once all your hours are logged, you need to formally submit your timesheet so your client can review and approve it.

  1. Review your time entries for accuracy.
  2. Click the Submit button. Your timesheet status will change to Under Review.
  3. Your client will approve or reject the timesheet. You'll receive a notification either way.
  4. Once approved, your invoice and payment are generated based on your approved hours and hourly rate.
If your timesheet is rejected, your client will send it back to you with feedback. Review their notes, make the necessary corrections, and resubmit. You can edit and resubmit as many times as needed before approval.
