Factor PTOs on Timesheets

The Factor PTOs feature allows you to automatically log approved PTO hours directly into the Timesheet for the selected week. This ensures PTO hours are accurately reflected without manual entry.

Where to Find Factor PTOs

  1. Go to Staffing Workspace

  2. Select your Company (optional – feature works with or without company selection)

  3. Click on the Timesheets tab

  4. Click the 3-dot menu (⋮) in the top right

  5. Select Factor PTOs

⚠️ The Factor PTOs option is disabled when the Timesheet is locked.


How Factor PTOs Works

When you click Factor PTOs, the system will:

  • Check all candidates with active employments for the selected week

  • If a client is selected, it will check within that client context

  • Identify all approved PTO requests where the PTO date is less than or equal to today’s date

What Happens Next?

For each approved PTO request:

  • PTO hours are logged into the corresponding day and employment

  • If the day already has logged hours:

    • PTO hours are added to the existing hours

  • If no hours were logged:

    • Only PTO hours will appear for that day

  • PTO hours are automatically saved (no additional action required)


How PTO Hours Appear in the Timesheet

Visual Indicators

  • Cells containing PTO hours will display in a different color

  • Once the Timesheet is approved, all cells will display the same green color

Hour Breakdown Tooltip

If a day contains both:

  • Logged work hours and

  • PTO hours

Hovering over the cell will display a tooltip showing the breakdown:

  • Logged Hours

  • PTO Hours


Timestamp Confirmation

After clicking Factor PTOs, the system will update the Timesheet and display a timestamp below the option:

Updated on: Oct 15 2025

This indicates the last time PTO hours were factored into the Timesheet.


What Happens if PTO is Cancelled?

If an approved PTO request is later cancelled:

  • The Timesheet will not automatically update

  • The Timesheet Approver must:

    1. Return to the Timesheet

    2. Click Factor PTOs again

The system will then:

  • Remove PTO hours associated with the cancelled request

  • Update the Timesheet accordingly


Important Notes

  • Factor PTOs only includes PTO requests that are:

    • Approved

    • On or before today’s date

    • Within the selected week

  • The option is unavailable if the Timesheet is locked

  • PTO hours are always saved automatically once factored
