How to prepare support worker timesheets for review
Good timesheet processes make it clear what was scheduled, what was delivered, what was approved and what was sent to payroll.
Start from the shift record
Use the shift and delivery context to explain the time entry. This helps reviewers compare planned work with attendance and recorded delivery rather than approving an unexplained number of hours.
Record breaks, expenses and mileage separately
Keep payable time, breaks, expenses and mileage structured so the reviewer can understand each component and correct the right item without rewriting the full record.
Approve before export
Connected Teams' payroll adapter is designed around approved, locked or export-ready entries. Unreviewed time should not be treated as payroll-ready.
Keep payroll boundaries clear
Connected Teams records and prepares approved work. The separate payroll application owns its own processing, credentials and payroll rules. Confirm the configured integration before promising automated transfer.
