Overview
If you use When I Work to clock in and out, review your timesheet to see how many hours you’ve worked during a pay period. You can also edit your timesheet if you employer has chosen to allow it.
This article reviews how to view and edit your own timesheets. If you are an Admin, Manager, or Supervisor wanting to edit your team members’ timesheets, see Reviewing and Editing User’s Timesheets instead.
Considerations
