# Track and submit your timecard on mobile

The Timecard tab shows your hours for the current pay period and lets you submit them for manager approval.

## Review your week

Each day lists your clocked entries — the time range, duration, and how it was recorded. Tap a day to expand it. Your period total appears at the top, along with any overtime and the timecard's status. If your business tracks travel time, drive time recorded from On My Way shows as its own **Travel** entries, and the header shows your travel total — with any unpaid portion called out (unpaid travel is visible but doesn't count toward paid hours).

## Add or fix an entry

While your timecard is Open or Sent back, tap **+ Add time** to log time you didn't clock, or tap an existing entry to edit it. Set the start and end time and enter a short reason for the change (for example, "forgot to clock out"). An end time before the start time is treated as ending the next day. If your business tracks travel time, a **Work / Travel** selector lets you log a drive (like the trip home) or reclassify an entry.

You can only record time that has already happened. Days later in the pay period don't offer **+ Add time**, a new entry on today opens ending at the current time, and Save stays off while either time is still in the future.

Once you submit, entries lock — you won't be able to add or edit until a manager sends the timecard back.

Approved hours stay frozen to the revision your manager reviewed. If a late clock event or payroll setting creates a difference afterward, the tab shows **Reapproval needed**; the approved hours remain unchanged until a manager sends the card back. You can then make any requested correction and submit it again.

## Submit your week

Tap **Submit week** once your hours look right. If your manager sends it back, you'll see their note at the top of the tab; fix what they asked for and submit again.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/field-operations/mobile/track-and-submit-your-timecard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
