Beebole is where you log the hours you work and the time you take off. As an employee, you do all of this on the Timesheet, then submit it for approval. This guide walks through those tasks in the order you meet them.
Your administrator sets up Beebole — projects, time-off types, and approval rules are already in place. You sign in with a one-time 6-digit code emailed to you, a passkey, your Google or Microsoft account, or your company’s single sign-on. There are no passwords to remember.

​
Log your time

Open Timesheet in the sidebar to record your hours. The timesheet has two views of the same entries. Switch between them with the Calendar view and Grid view buttons next to the title. An entry you add in one view shows up in the other.
  • In the calendar view, each day is a column. Drag across a time slot, or click one, then pick the project or task. Each entry is a block you can move or resize.
  • In the grid view, each row is a project or task and each column is a day. Add a row for what you worked on, then type your hours in the day’s cell.
Beebole saves your entries as you go. If your administrator turned on the timer, click Start timer to time your work live instead of typing hours, then Pause timer to save the elapsed time. You can also copy a previous period to reuse the same work. See Timesheets for both views, the timer, and copying a period.

​
Record time off

To log vacation, sick leave, or any other absence, record it on your timesheet like other time. In the calendar view, drag across a slot and pick the time-off type. In the grid view, add a time-off row for that type and enter the time on each day. It counts against your allowance as soon as you record it. Your time off is then reviewed with the rest of your timesheet when you submit it, through the same approval workflow. Your allowances are on your own profile: click People in the sidebar and open your profile. Its Absence allowances panel shows each allowance’s Allowance, any Accrued adjustment, and how much you have Consumed. To see what you have left, open the Absence quotas entry in the Reports menu. For each time off type, it shows the time you have taken against your allowance and your Remaining balance. Learn more in Time off.

​
Submit your timesheet

When your period is complete, click Submit at the top of the timesheet. This locks the period and sends it into your organization’s approval workflow. If you clicked it by mistake, you have 3 seconds to click Undo in the notice that appears. After that, ask an approver or an administrator to reject the period so you can correct it. If Submit is missing on a period you haven’t submitted yet, no approval workflow applies to you, so there is nothing to submit. Ask your administrator if you think there should be one. An approver then reviews it and either approves it or rejects it. If it is Rejected, a comment tells you why — fix the entries and click Resubmit. Once every stage approves, the timesheet is Approved and stays locked. See Approval for how the review process works stage by stage.
