Features/Timesheets

04 · Hours

Plan, track, approve, export.

The four states a shift goes through, on one set of screens. Kiosk clock-in for stagehands. Swap requests for cast. Leave balances that follow Norwegian agreements. Approval that lands in payroll, not in someone's inbox.

BASE

A · The four states

Planned → worked → approved → exported.

Every shift moves through four states. Each state has its own surface. Transitions are explicit, not implicit. You can always tell where any hour stands.

Explicit transitions, no inbox tag

"Planned" is what the planner published. "Tracked" is what actually happened. "Approved" is what the manager signed off. "Exported" is what landed in payroll. Four nouns, four screens.

  • Planning surface = the planner's shifts view
  • Tracking = clock-in + clock-out + breaks, kiosk or self-serve
  • Approval queue = manager signs off, one line per row
  • Export = monthly batch in your payroll's format

B · Kiosk + approval queue

Where the workflow happens.

A kiosk surface at the stage door for stagehands (PIN in, type out). An approval queue for managers (line by line, bulk approve, comment back). The two screens that get opened every day.

PIN entry on a tablet. Approval rows on a laptop.

The kiosk is a tablet by the stage door. Stagehands type their PIN and clock in. The approval queue is a desktop surface for managers — line per line, bulk approve, comment back if a line needs adjusting.

  • Kiosk = PIN + clock-in/out, no app install required
  • Auto-roll-up to the manager queue at end of shift
  • Manager queue: line per line, bulk approve, comment back
  • Over-budget shifts flagged automatically
  • Approved lines move to the export batch

C · Averaging periods + overtime

Norwegian agreements, built in.

Gjennomsnittsberegning per work type. Overtime triggers per work type. Weekly totals, period totals, and threshold warnings surface while you're planning, not after the fact.

The math your CFO actually asks for

Averaging periods (6-week, 8-week, 12-week — whatever your work type uses) compute automatically. The planner warns when a person is about to breach a threshold so you adjust before, not after.

  • Averaging periods configurable per work type
  • Overtime triggers per work type (daily + weekly thresholds)
  • Weekly + period totals visible while planning
  • Automatic flagging when a person is close to a threshold
  • Monthly reports for HR and payroll

D · Swaps + leave

Cast moves. Leave balances follow.

Shift-swap requests are two-party, manager-approved. Leave requests deduct from balances automatically. Annual, parental, sick, study — the leave types that match Norwegian work agreements.

The flow that doesn't end in an email thread

A cast member wants to swap a rehearsal call. They pick the colleague to swap with. The colleague accepts. The manager approves. The planner updates. Three clicks instead of three emails.

  • Two-party swap requests (initiator + accepter, manager-approved)
  • Leave requests deduct from balance on approval
  • Per-person balance: entitled / accrued / used / remaining
  • Leave types follow your work-type agreements
  • Audit trail per swap and per leave request
