Mobile Timesheet Submission

Field workers can submit daily timesheets directly from the Appello mobile app. The mobile timesheet captures hours worked, job assignment, cost codes, and any notes — then sends it to the office for approval through the Timesheet Matrix.

Bottom Tab Bar → Timesheets (clock icon)

Daily Submission Workflow​

  1. Open the Timesheets tab on the mobile app.
  2. Select the date (defaults to today).
  3. The app pre-populates the job from the worker's schedule for that day.
  4. Enter hours worked (regular, overtime if applicable).
  5. Select a cost code if required by the job.
  6. Add optional notes describing work performed.
  7. Tap Submit.

The timesheet appears in the office's Timesheet Matrix with "Submitted" status.

Honor System vs. Clock In/Out​

Appello supports two timesheet models:

ModelHow It WorksBest For
Honor SystemWorker self-reports hours at end of dayUnion contractors where foremen track time
Clock In/OutGPS-verified clock in and clock out timesContractors requiring GPS verification

Most ICI contractors use the honor system — foremen enter crew time via Bulk Timesheet Entry on desktop, while individual workers may submit their own time via mobile as a cross-check.

Rejected Timesheets​

When the office rejects a timesheet:

  1. The worker receives a push notification with the rejection reason.
  2. The rejected timesheet appears with a red indicator.
  3. The worker can edit the entry and resubmit.
  4. The revised timesheet goes back to the Timesheet Matrix for re-review.

Workers can view their timesheet history and status on the mobile app, but cannot approve their own timesheets. Approval is handled by supervisors or office staff through the desktop Timesheet Matrix.
