How to enable sheet locking

Timesheet locking is a feature that ensures the security and integrity of records at the end of the period, preventing further changes after the timesheet has been closed. Keeping this feature active is essential for an efficient and transparent control process.

If you cannot find the locking option in Sheet > Sheet Locking, it means that it is disabled.

See how to enable payroll locking on the Pontotel Gestão website.

How to activate sheet locking

1. In the navigation menu of the Management website , open the Admin menu and select the Company Data option .

2. Select the option "enable sheet locking option". This will enable locking in the system. In addition to this, there are two other options that can be enabled. They are:

• Allow payroll locking only if there are no incomplete days or days with notes: Ensures that locking can only be performed if all work hours for the period are complete and without pending issues or notes. This prevents the payroll from being closed with missing information.
• **Allow locking even if some work hours are recalculated during the process:** Allows the payroll to be locked even if, during the process, some work hours need to be automatically recalculated by the system.

Enabling payroll locking in Pontotel Gestão is an essential step to ensure the security of records and prevent unauthorized changes after closing.
