Timesheets

Timesheets collect new Timecards created while the Timesheet is in In Progress status.

If no Timesheet is in In Progress status, FieldFX automatically creates a new Timesheet when a Timecard is added.

Timesheets have an approval status sequence.

Time Off

Field users add Time Off requests in the FX Timecards mobile app.

Supervisors manage Time Off requests in FieldFX Back Office, including Approving or Rejecting the requests.

Field users can see the status of the Time Off requests in the FX Timecards mobile app.

Time Off requests do not automatically generate Timecard records for a Timesheet.
