Timesheets are used in specific countries to track the time a particular Team Member has worked or not worked during a certain period. Timesheets are used by payroll and HR to record the Team Member’s working hours.
How do I fill out a timesheet?
First, please submit your absences using the Time Off tool on the Oyster platform. Time off can include any absence type, such as sick days, holidays, parental leave, etc. Our Help Center article will guide you through the steps for requesting time off. It’s important to keep your time off days always updated on the platform, otherwise, your monthly timesheet will not include the correct information.
As Oyster is also required to track your work hours, we ask team members to record/approve the time tracking on the platform on a monthly basis before the end of the month. Oyster will then combine your approved time off days with your monthly work hours.
