Timely payroll processing is crucial for every organization. Many companies require employees to submit their timesheets before the end of the month - often by the 25th or even earlier - to ensure salaries are paid on time.
Delays in timesheet submission can cause disruptions, especially when payroll deadlines coincide with:
🏖️ Public holidays or long weekends
✈️ Employee vacations
🏦 Strict internal payroll schedules
🌍 Distributed teams across different time zones
📅 Freelancers or contractors who need to invoice promptly
To help organizations avoid these challenges, PeopleForce offers the early timesheet submission feature. This allows employees to fill out and submit their timesheets in advance, providing payroll teams with the data they need well before month-end.
How to enable early timesheet submission
Enabling early timesheet submission is straightforward for system admins or anyone with access to attendance policy settings:
Go to the Attendance policy settings in PeopleForce.
Check the box labeled “Enable early timesheet submission.”
Once activated, employees under this policy will be able to:
Autofill working hours for upcoming days within the current month.
Submit their timesheets early, before the month officially ends.
This functionality ensures payroll teams can collect all required timesheet data on time, helping avoid last-minute issues and delays.
