Employee salaries may vary based on overtime or additional hours. As a manager, ensure that employees accurately track their work hours. Incomplete or missing timesheets can prevent Remote's Payroll team from processing correct payments.

To assist with this, you can enable the following on Remote:

  • Warnings when timesheets show fewer hours than required by the employee's contract
  • Notifications when the week ends, and an employee hasn't submitted their timesheet

About timesheet notifications

Remote provides two types of timesheet notifications:

1. Company-level notifications These are optional notifications that you can configure. When enabled, they send weekly reminders to all employees across all countries about timesheets. Currently you can't filter by countries or specific products. You can toggle these on or off at any time.

2. Compliance-level notifications These are legally required notifications configured by Remote's Legal team on a per-country basis. They only apply in countries where Remote's time-tracking feature is fully supported. You cannot control these notifications as they are mandatory for compliance purposes.

Company-level notifications apply to all team members in your organization, across every country and product, when you enable them. However, if a team member is based in a country where compliance-level notifications are mandatory, they will only receive those required reminders. You don’t need to enable company-level notifications for these team members. If enabled, they won’t receive duplicate messages.

To set this up:

  1. Log into Remote and go to the Company settings tab.
  2. On the Time & Attendance card, click on the Time tracking settings.



  3. There, you can choose to turn on the "Send notifications for unsubmitted timesheets (to all employees, all countries)"

FAQs

What if an employee is on paid time off and doesn’t submit a timesheet for that week?

You and the employee will still be notified of a missing timesheet. When they’re back to work, they can make sure they submit the timesheet, which will account for paid time off time they logged for that week.

What happens if an employee who normally works 40 hours submits a timesheet with 15 work hours and paid time off for the remaining hours?

Remote's platform accounts for time off when checking for incomplete timesheets. In this case, the timesheet will be considered complete.
