# Log or correct an employee's time

_Skileo Human Resources › Timesheets · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

In Timesheets, click Log time and choose the person, or click Log time in a day's menu. A new day you fill in for an employee goes to approval as submitted. You can correct a submitted day.

## Log time for an employee

1. Open “Timesheets” in the menu of “Human Resources”.
2. Click “Log time”. To log on a day that is already listed, click “Log time” in that day's actions menu (**⋮**) instead.
3. In “Person”, choose the employee.
4. Choose how to enter the time with “Duration” or “From – To”:
   - a “Duration”, such as 1:30, 1.5 or 90m;
   - or a start and an end time on the same day.
5. Check the “Day”.
6. If you like, choose a “Project”, a “Task” and a “Job type”, tick “Billable” and write a “Note”.
7. Click “Save”.

The form reminds you: “A new day of theirs goes to approval as submitted; a day they are still filling in stays theirs to submit.”

Once you choose a project, “Person” offers the project's members.

## Correct an entry

1. Find the day in the list and unfold its “Entries”.
2. Click the actions button of the entry, then “Edit” or “Delete”.

On a submitted day, the list says “Corrections keep the day submitted.” You then approve or reject it as usual.

Deleting an entry can't be undone.

## What you can't change

An approved day is locked: nobody can add, change or delete its entries. See [How timesheets work](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/how-timesheets-work).


## Common questions

### Who can log time for others?

The “Business owner”, and a “Member” with “Timesheets” set to “Edit”. See [Who can see and approve timesheets](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-timesheets).

### Why can't I choose a project?

Only projects with time tracking on are offered, and on a project only its members log time. See [Log time on a project](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/log-time-on-a-project).

### Why is my own time not in this list?

Your own time doesn't need approval: it is approved as soon as you log it. See it in “Projects”. See [See the time logged](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/see-the-time-logged).
