## Timesheet Status Indicators

Time Tracking uses visual indicators to quickly communicate the state of each employee's timesheet entries.

### Daily Cell Status

Each cell in the weekly timesheet grid shows a colour-coded status:

| Colour    | Meaning                                                           |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Green** | Time fully logged for the day                                     |
| **Amber** | Partial time entry (some hours logged but potentially incomplete) |
| **Red**   | Time is due but has not been logged                               |
| **Grey**  | No time expected (non-working day, leave, etc.)                   |

The status is rendered as an HTML badge within each cell, making it easy to scan across the entire week at a glance.

### Reading the Grid

* **Scan horizontally** to see an individual employee's week
* **Scan vertically** to see the team's status for a particular day
* Look for **red cells** to quickly identify missing timesheet entries

### Weekly Total Column

The total column aggregates all daily entries into a single hours/minutes figure. Compare this against expected hours to identify under- or over-reporting.

### Approval and Lock Status

Timesheets may have approval and lock statuses:

* **Locked** entries cannot be modified (typically after manager approval)
* **Unlocked** entries can still be edited

If you need to change a locked entry, contact your manager or administrator to unlock it first.

### Tips

* Log your time daily to maintain accuracy
* Review your weekly totals before the end of the week
* Ensure time is linked to the correct jobs and tasks for accurate project costing
