## A clear brief is the starting point.

A useful timesheet connects the person, date and project to the hours being submitted. It also distinguishes a submitted record from an approved one. This helps the people responsible for supervision and administration understand what has been recorded and which questions still need resolving.

For an OpTyTech assignment, agree the submission route, reporting period and approving contact at the start. Ask how access to the relevant company workspace will be arranged. Do not assume that a public website enquiry is a timesheet submission or a payroll instruction.

Use this page as a practical guide to the information that makes a record easier to review. Keep working time, breaks, project allocation and any supporting explanation consistent with the arrangement agreed for the assignment. Queries or corrections should remain visible to the people responsible for approval.

## What would you like to discuss?

### Prepare the record

Identify the reporting period, assignment or project and the person to whom the record relates. Record each working date and the information needed to explain the hours submitted.

### Review and approve

The designated reviewer should check the record against the agreed work and resolve queries. A submission should not be treated as approval merely because it has been received.

### Keep a traceable correction

When a record changes, explain the reason and send it through the agreed review route. Retain the relationship between the original submission, the correction and the final decision.

## What to include in your brief

- The worker or assignment reference used by your organisation.
- The work date, site or project and reporting period.
- Start and finish times, breaks and the hours being submitted.
- Any separately agreed classification of hours, with supporting explanation where needed.
- The supervisor or client contact responsible for checking the record.
- Submission date, review status and the reason for any later correction.

Use the initial enquiry for a useful summary. Document-sharing arrangements and any engagement terms can be discussed once the requirement is understood.

## A simple review checklist

Before submitting: check the person or assignment reference, dates, project allocation, breaks, hours and approving contact. Before approving: resolve queries and record the decision through the agreed route.

## Useful questions

### Where should I submit an actual timesheet?

Use the route agreed for your assignment or your authorised company workspace. If you do not have the correct access or approving contact, use the client enquiry form to request guidance without including private employee records.

### Can the public client form approve hours?

No. It is an enquiry form, not an approval, payroll or attendance system. An authorised reviewer must use the agreed process for actual working records.

### What should I do if a record is wrong?

Identify the record and the correction needed, explain the reason and follow the agreed review route. Do not silently replace an already reviewed record or assume that a correction has been approved.

## Let us understand your requirement.

Share your company details, the work involved and the result you need. We will use your enquiry to discuss the appropriate next step.
