Dashboard Explained
Weekly timesheet submission and approval rates by staff member and office. Timesheet Compliance is the discipline tracker — it shows who is submitting on time, who isn't, and whether compliance is improving or worsening across the firm.
How to use it
Review Timesheet Compliance weekly, ideally on Monday morning before starting the approval cycle. Staff with missing timesheets for the prior week should be contacted directly before their time is lost. If approval rate is low, the bottleneck is with managers — ensure that timesheet approval is part of the weekly close process. Persistent non-compliance in specific staff should be addressed with their manager as a performance matter, as missing timesheets directly affect WIP accuracy and utilisation reporting.
Understanding your data
Key Fields | How it's Calculated |
Timesheet Submission Rate % | Number of staff who submitted a timesheet for the week divided by total active staff for that week. Measures whether staff are entering their time |
Timesheet Approval Rate % | Number of submitted timesheets that have been approved by a manager divided by total submitted timesheets. Measures whether managers are actioning approvals promptly |
Timesheet Posting Rate % | Number of approved timesheets that have been posted to the general ledger divided by total approved timesheets. Only posted entries appear in financial and utilisation data |
Late Submission Count | Count of timesheets submitted after the firm's defined submission deadline for the week. Identifies chronic late submitters |
Missing Timesheets | Active staff members with no timesheet entry for a given week — they have neither submitted nor recorded any time |
Compliance by Office | Submission, approval, and posting rates broken down by office, enabling comparison of compliance culture across locations |
