Timesheets And Permissions

What It Is

Timesheets And Permissions is how Total Tradesmen keeps people aligned from a solo engineer to a larger crew. Admins see what they need to run the firm. Engineers focus on their jobs. Hours and patterns feed the diary and the reports.

Role Based Permissions

Choose exactly what each person can see and do. Admins see everything. Engineers focus on their own jobs. That stops accidental edits, wrong rate changes, and office noise in the field app.

Timesheets

Hours logged on the job roll into weekly reports without chasing paper across the team. Time stays next to the work that created it, which helps payroll conversations and job costing.

• Log time where the job lives
• Reduce Friday memory exercises
• Support cost and performance views later

Working Patterns

Set hours, days off and on call rules per engineer. Scheduling and notifications respect what you defined, so customer booking slots and diary views stay honest.

Performance Reporting

Jobs closed, hours worked and bottlenecks in one view so decisions come from the numbers, not guesswork after a long week.

How Offices Use It

1. Create the user with the right role before day one
2. Set working patterns so the diary knows when they are free
3. Train them to log time on the job, not in a separate notebook
4. Review hours and completed jobs in reporting

Why Trades Use It

Growing past one van usually breaks first on visibility and hours. Permissions stop chaos. Timesheets stop arguments. Patterns stop impossible bookings.
