QB Time sheets

We use the timesheets available in QuickBooks. They work great, but employees can look at everyone else's timesheet, which sometimes causes discontent. Does anyone know a way to restrict employees to only be able to see their own timesheet? Admin would still need access to all timesheets.

Hello there, CBJ3948.

 

Thanks for the clarification and the screenshots you provided. 

 

When you give the Create activity access level to your employees, they also have the option to View timesheets. To know more about the areas and activities in QuickBooks Desktop, you can use these steps: 

 

  1. Click the Company menu and choose Users.
  2. Select Set Up Users and Roles.
  3. Go to the Roles List tab. 
  4. Under Roles, select Time Tracking and click New.
  5. In the Areas and Activities section, click the small + plus icon. 
  6. Select Create in the ACTIVITY ACCESS LEVEL section.

You can check out this link for more details about the areas, activities, and access levels

 

I took note of this feedback to be able to only create timesheets without viewing other employees entries. You can also send this product suggestion to our team. Here's how:

 

  1. Click Help and choose Send Feedback Online.
  2. Select Product Suggestion.
  3. Click the Product Area and enter your suggestion.
  4. Select Send Feedback.

Hey there, @CBJ3948.

 

Nice to have you join us here in the Coomunity. I'm happy to lend a hand. 

 

To start, would you mind answering a couple of questions so I can ensure we are on the same page? 

 

  • Are you using QuickBooks Time or the Time tab within QuickBooks?
  • Are the employees' managers of other employees, or is it all normal employees that can see each other's time?

 

If you can grab a screenshot of what your employees are seeing, that would be helpful!

 

I also wanted to mention that by default, your employees should not be able to see each other's time, so I'd like to dig in to see why this might be the case. 

 

I look forward to chatting with you soon. Take care and have a great day!

Hi Tori!

We use QuickBooks Time, and our employees are normal employees.

I have attached a file with the screenshots.

Thanks so much for looking into this for me!

I thank you for your response Catherine_B.

We are using 2019 QB Premier Prof Services Edition 2019, and there is no mention of "roles" . My option under Company is "Set up Users and Passwords" then "Set up Users". In the Time Tracking Section "Selective Access" has been selected along with "Create and print transactions". There is no choice about viewing. I'm sure there are other companies that would appreciate having the no view option as well. I will definitely send this product suggestion to your team. I thank you for your time and assistance with this matter.

Good morning, @LCF 1

 

Congrats on making your first post here in the Community and joining in on this thread. Let's work together and get this resolved. 

 

To clarify, which report(s) are not showing accurate information? Also, providing a screenshot of the time sheets and then report will help me in determining the best solution for your business. 

 

Once I've received these details, I'll be able to take a closer look to see why the right information isn't showing on the report(s). Hit the Reply button when ready. Have a wonderful day ahead!
