Logging your own hours as an admin
Admins do not track time by default in WiseCost. Link your user to your employee record and Time Tracker appears, with the same approval flow as everyone.
Admin accounts do not track time by default. To log your own hours as an admin in WiseCost, link your user to your employee record. Once linked, Time Tracker appears in your sidebar and your timesheets follow the same approval flow as everyone else's.
Who can do this: an Administrator who also works on contracts, grants or internal projects.
Link your user to your employee record
- Make sure your employee record exists in Company Setup → Employees. It comes from QuickBooks Online, or you can create it locally.
- Open My Profile and link your user to your QuickBooks Online employee. If you are inviting a new admin instead, select their record under Link to an employee record in the Invite user dialog.
- Check the sidebar. Time Tracker now appears, and you log hours like any employee. See Logging your hours and submitting your timesheet.
Check which employee you are linked to
My Profile → My Companies lists every company you belong to, with your role, the QuickBooks status and the employee record you are linked to in each one.
Who approves an admin's timesheet
Your timesheet goes to your approver like any other. Whether you can approve your own depends on Allow approving your own timesheet in Company Setup → Company settings → Compliance. Both compliance presets turn it off, so another approver or administrator signs off on your hours.
Common questions
Why don't I see Time Tracker in my sidebar?
Time Tracker only appears for admins who are linked to an employee record. Link your user in My Profile.
Can I be an admin in one company and an employee in another?
Yes. My Profile → My Companies shows your role and your linked employee in each company.
