Questions
Are my builder entries sent to Due Form?
No. The builder uses them in your browser to make the workbook on your device.
Information is sent to Due Form when you submit a form or use another service described on the How it works page.
How are overtime hours worked out?
Type the hours before overtime each week on the Settings sheet, 40 to begin with. Hours above that in a Monday to Sunday week show as overtime. Type 0 to leave it out.
How does it handle a shift that ends after midnight?
If the finish time is earlier than the start, the hours run into the next day, and the Check column shows Overnight. A break longer than the shift is flagged.
Can I print the timesheet for a manager?
Yes. Switch on sign-off and the Summary prints portrait with name, manager, period and signature lines. The Time Log repeats its header row on each page.
Which types of leave are counted?
Annual leave, Sick and Bank holiday are added up as leave and shaded. Other types you add, such as Training, count in the hours but not as leave.
