Simple Timesheet Management and Approval

After shifts are completed, employees can clock in and out, add mileage, and input essential details directly within ShiftCare. Managers then review and approve timesheets, which are crucial for payroll and also become part of the billing under the NDIS scheme. This streamlined approval process ensures accuracy and compliance.
