Articles about: Payroll closing

How does the employee clock in and sign their timesheet for closing?

A Pontotel oferece a funcionalidade de travamento bilateral, que permite ao próprio colaborador iniciar o processo de travamento da sua folha de ponto. Nesse fluxo, ele também realiza a assinatura eletrônica, formalizando o aceite das informações registradas.
Essa abordagem garante que o colaborador revise e valide os dados antes da finalização, promovendo mais autonomia, segurança e transparência no gerenciamento das informações. Confira abaixo como realizar esse processo.


⚠️ Attention: Before starting the locking and signing process, the employee must have permission to view and lock their timesheet. If they do not have access, contact their manager, HR, or the Pontotel support team to make the necessary adjustments to the "employee" permissions.


Step by step:


  1. In the navigation menu of the Management website, click on Payroll and select Points Sheet.


  1. Filter by employees.



  1. In the "select employees" field, search for and select your own name, then click search.



  1. On the timesheet, in the upper left corner of the screen, make sure you are on the correct **competency**.



  1. Check all time sheets, work hours, and time entries to ensure there are no inconsistencies.


  1. If you identify any errors, make the necessary corrections before proceeding (or request the correction from your Manager or HR).


  1. After reviewing and adjusting all points, locate the toolbar on the right side of the sheet. Click on "electronic signature of the sheet" (padlock icon).



  1. Click on "Lock and sign timesheet".



  1. A half-closed padlock icon will appear on the left side of the sheet, indicating that the locking process has begun.


  1. To fully lock the payroll, the manager or HR must complete the second step, confirming the locking.


💡 Tips: 
  • Be sure to carefully review all notes before starting the locking process. Once started, changes to the sheet will require authorization from the manager or HR.
  • The employee-initiated locking process is a valuable tool for ensuring transparency and accuracy in record keeping. To proceed with the bilateral locking process, follow the instructions in this article.


⚠️ Attention: the bilateral locking functionality with electronic signature is part of the "Participative Time Management". If your company does not yet have this feature contracted, please fill out this form and schedule a no-obligation consultation with our team.


If you still have questions or need assistance, contact our Support team via the chat integrated into the Pontotel Gestão website or via WhatsApp!
