This is for any Workers who are onboarded with the MoD. This document gives an overview of the weekly timesheets process, and what this means for you.
Without prior approval received via HCRG or your agency you must not complete or submit hours exceeding the weekly approved hours as stated in your assignment confirmation.
Please note failure to follow this process will result in non-payment and therefore it is imperative you have financial approval via HCRG or your agency prior to undertaking any additional work.
Workers are instructed to ensure their submission of timesheets are complete by no later 09:00hrs Monday morning (inclusive of UK Bank Holidays).
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with your agency if you are an Agency worker, or HCRG if you are a Bank worker (fhrbanksupport@hcrg.uk.com or 02382 359 149)
Login to the Patchwork app.Navigate to the “Timesheets” section of the app.
3. Click the “Needs Attention” tab to view all shifts for which you have not yet requested sign off approval.
4. Select the ”Sign off Multiple Timesheets” button in the top right hand corner to request sign off approval for your shifts for the week you require Hiring Manager approval.
5. Tick the “Select All Shifts” (you’ll see a green tick appear in the top right hand corner for each shift that has been successfully selected.) If there are only one week’s shifts that have not been submitted the worker can ‘Select All Shifts’ as demonstrated below.
If there are multiple weeks of shifts that require Hiring Manager Approval please select individual timesheets for each week in the order you wish to complete in order for them to appear concurrently. For example, Monday first, then Tuesday.
6. Once you have selected all of your shifts for that week, select “Next”.
7. The “Please Check All Shifts” page will appear. Here you will input the hours that you actually worked and actual breaks taken.
For roles that do not have a Minimum Enforced Break configured e.g. Paramedics A13, you will see the below screen where you will be prompted to enter the actual break time taken
For grades with a Minimum Enforced break time, the below screen will be displayed where you must input a break time of at least 30 minutes
for every 6 hours per shift. You will not be able to request sign-off without adhering to the minimum break time.
8. For shifts where the hours worked or breaks differ from the scheduled/financially approved hours, you will be prompted to fill in the reason for this in the “Reason” field e.g. asked to stay longer.
9. Navigate to the next shift by selecting the “>” button on the “Please Check All Shifts” page.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until you have checked all shifts for the week you are submitting.
Where you have not attended a day on the timesheet being submitted (Either Annual Leave or possibly due to illness), please request sign off approval for zero hours on the appropriate day. You will need to insert the same start and finish times ie 08.00 start time and 08.00 finish time. Please note, the manager will not be able to sign off a weekly timesheet if all days for that week have not got time submitted.
11. Please read the Fraud Declaration. You will be prompted to view this before requesting sign off. Select “Fraud Declaration” to view and read the statement, then click the ‘Back’ box.
12. Once read, select the checkbox “I have read and accepted the Fraud Declaration”13. Once you have reviewed and amended all shifts, select “Request (number) Shift(s)”.
