Timesheet Flags
Last updated
When a timesheet is submitted, Zipwire automatically scans it for conditions worth an approver's attention. Anything notable is surfaced as a flag — a short banner shown at the top of the timesheet view.
Flags don't block approval. They're information, not a verdict.
Flags are calculated twice: at submission, and again if a processor later adjusts which billing units are billed. This keeps them in sync with the current billed state rather than just a snapshot from when the timesheet was first sent.

Time was logged on a public holiday. Zipwire checks the timesheet's locale (e.g. en-GB, en-US) against a public holiday calendar. The flag fires on any day where minutes were logged — regardless of whether those hours ended up being billed.
Time was logged on a Saturday or Sunday.
The sender billed more units than the standard day length defined in their billing plan. For example, if the standard is 8 hours and the sender billed 9 hours on a Monday, this flag appears. Standard hours are taken from the active billing plan; the fallback is 8 hours if no plan is found.
The sender billed fewer units than standard — a partial day where a full day might have been expected. Same calculation as Overworked, but in the other direction.
One or more activities on the timesheet belong to a different assignment than the one the workflow was created for. This can happen when a sender works across multiple assignments and logs time against the wrong one. Only applies to assigned workflows.
Activities reference more than one workplace. Most timesheets are scoped to a single workplace, so this may indicate cross-billing or a data entry error.
The sender's rate plan changed partway through the timesheet period. This is legitimate but worth noting — different rates may apply to different days within the same sheet.
The timesheet is on a workplace-assigned workflow but all financial totals are zero. This typically means no rate plan was in effect at billing time; the sender may have submitted before their contract was fully configured.
