Creating and Managing Timesheets

Keeping track of your hours worked is easy with the MyConstruct Timesheets module, simply select "Timesheets" from the main left menu.

Here you will see a list of hours worked and the Job / Task that you were working on.

At the top of the table, you can filter by Staff and then set the Date Range of which you want to show, by default Timesheets show the last month of hours logged and default to the current user. Only managers and those with high permissions can view other staff hours.

To log your work hours simply click on "Log Hours" to fill out your work hours.

Work Date: Simply set this to the day you want to log hours worked on.

Assigned To: Manager only option, this allows you to assign hours to other staff if you permissions allow.

Job / Opportunity: The job you are logging hours against.

Task: Here you can enter the work carried out in brief, it's used for a quick note such as "Site visit" etc

In Time: The start time you arrived at the job.

Out Time: The time you left the job / end of task.

Hours Worked: This automatically calculates the hours spend on this job / task.

Managers and Staff with higher permissions are able to log hours on behalf of other staff as well as being able to view / filter and print other staff Timesheets. The standard permissions only allow your staff to log and print their own hours.

Finally, you can print / PDF your Timesheets from the "Print" button and selecting the options you'd like to print.

Done - this is the basics of our Timesheets.

Optional: Sending Timesheets over to Xero

To Sync MyConstruct you must first be an owner or system administrator of your MyConstruct account. Then simply navigate to the Settings button (Upper right corner) and go to "Business Details".

From here go to the "Xero Settings" tab.

We have a guide for connecting Xero here: Syncing with Xero

Check out the guide, but you first step is to connect MyConstruct to your Xero account, once this is done you simply enable the two options "Sync Employees" and "Sync Timesheets":

Once you have connected Xero and enabled these two switches, this will then unlock additional options on your staff members settings. So finally you'll need to browse to the "Manage Staff" area and update these new fields that are required by Xero.

Once you have updates the newly enabled "Xero Settings" section, you are done and everything will start to sync across.
