How to submit a timesheet

Timesheets are how Coop tracks the hours you work, bills your client, and pays you. Log time as you go, then submit each week's timesheet once it's done.

Step 1 — Log your time

From your VA portal, click "Time" in the left sidebar. Start the timer when you begin work and stop it when you're done — or use the "Log time manually" form on the same page to add an entry by hand with a start and end time.

• Mark each entry as Work or Lunch break
• Optionally link an entry to a specific task
• Add a short note describing what you worked on

Step 2 — Review your week

Your logged entries roll up into a draft timesheet for the week, shown at the top of the Time page. While it's still a draft, you can edit or delete individual entries. Every week you've ever logged — draft, submitted, approved, or paid — is listed on the "Timesheets" page in the sidebar.

Step 3 — Submit

When your week looks right, click "Submit timesheet." It goes to your client (or a Coop admin, depending on how your account is set up) for approval. You'll get a notification once it's approved.

After submission

Once approved, Coop generates an invoice for your client and queues your payout for the next Friday processing run. You can track a timesheet's status — draft, submitted, approved, or paid — on the Timesheets page at any time.
