Daily Review vs. Pay Period Review

There are two ways to view employee timecards on timesheets: the Daily Review and the Pay Period Review.  

  • Daily Review: This view is designed for managers and owners who need quick and easy access to the most recent timecards. This view helps editors log into Homebase and swiftly edit recent timecards without sifting through the entire team's clock-ins and clock-outs.

  • Pay Period Review: This view allows you to view, edit, and delete timecards for your entire team by pay period and get ready to run your next payroll. 


Customizing your Pay Period view

Setting the date range

  1. The date range box requires you to set your pay period before selecting and viewing custom date ranges. Once set, you can see five different view options for your employees' timecards:
    1. Current payroll period
    2. Previous payroll period
    3. Today
    4. Yesterday
    5. Custom

Note: The maximum date range you can view is 31 days at a time.


Collapsing and Expanding 

Collapsing and expanding sections allow you to control the level of detail displayed in your timesheets. When you collapse all sections, only the totals for each section are shown, providing a high-level overview.

Expanding all sections displays all the detailed timecard data, giving you a comprehensive view of each timecard entry.


Searching, Sorting, and Hiding

Using the Timesheets filters, you can efficiently manage and customize your view to suit your needs:

  • Search team member: Quickly locate specific team members’ timecards by using the search function.

  • Sort team members by: Organize your timesheets by sorting team members' timecards by their first or last name, making it easier to find and review individual shifts.

  • Group by: Use this filter to organize your timesheets by Date, Team Member, or Role. This allows you to see related timecards together for better comparison and analysis.

  • Show/Hide Columns: Customize your view by showing or hiding specific columns so you see only the information that is most relevant to you.

  • Hide Team Members Without Hours: Simplify your timesheet view by hiding team members like salaried employees who do not have any recorded hours, focusing your attention on those with active timecard entries.

These features help streamline your timesheet management process, making it easier to find, organize, and focus on the most pertinent data.


Needs Review

The Needs Review section consolidates all the timecards that require your attention in one convenient place. This section highlights timecards with potential issues or discrepancies, such as missing clock-ins or clock-outs, unscheduled shifts, or times that need attention.

By gathering all these timecards together, the "Needs Review" section lets you quickly identify and address any problems, ensuring that your records are accurate and up-to-date. 


Understanding your Pay Period Review table

  • Columns: The columns display various timecard categories. For a detailed breakdown of each column and what they display, visit this Help Article.

  • Time card Data: Each row displays the details of an individual timecard.

  • Totals: This footer shows the totals for your team as a whole during the selected pay period.

By following this guide, you can effectively navigate and utilize the timesheet functions in Homebase, ensuring accurate and efficient management of employee timecards.
