What is a Timecard Template?
Timecard Templates allow you to customize what field options are available for timecards filled out by employees. These are meant to be approved by customer supervisors. Would you like a total number of hours or hours broken up into each day? Would you like punch in and out times? Do they need to be able to add their own adjustments or leave a note? You have a lot of options to choose from.
