Explanation of Timesheet Columns

Date

  • Date of the timesheet entry.

Start

  • Daily start time. This is the time that the technician’s workday began.

  • If the first paid event of the day is a scheduled job, the technician’s start time will be the time of dispatch.

  • If the first event is a scheduled non-job event, it will be the start time of the event.

  • If the technician clocks in as the first action of the day, it will be clock in time. Note: Technicians cannot use a general clock in to start accruing paid hours at the beginning of the day. If a technician needs to clock in to start paid hours in the morning, the technician must use a paid timesheet code for clock in.

First Arrival Time

  • Time the technician arrives at their first job.

  • This can happen in any of the following ways: a) the technician taps Arrive in Mobile, b) the technician is auto-arrived (account configuration required), or c) the Office uses the blue job action button to mark the technician as arrived.

End

  • Daily end time. This is the time that the technician’s workday ends.

  • The technician’s end time is when the last job of the day is completed, paused, canceled, rescheduled for another day, or placed on hold.

  • If the last event of the day is a non-job event, the technician’s end time will be the end time of the event.

Idle

Total idle time for the entire workday. Idle time is any time during the workday when the technician is not doing one of the following: a) driving to a job, b) working on a job, c) taking a meal break, or d) attending a paid or training event.
