# Add Time to Employees' Timesheets

As a manager, you can easily add punches and adjust durations to your employees' timesheets via the web app. This feature allows you to manually record worked hours, which is especially helpful if an employee forgets to clock in or encounters issues while doing so. To add time to an employee's timesheet, follow the steps below.

### Before you begin

Familiarize yourself with the Timesheets page. Learn more in [**Navigate and Customize the Timesheets Page**](/main/docs/navigate-customize-the-timesheets-page).

1. Click **Time and Attendance**, then select **Timesheets**.
2. At the top of the Timesheets page, open the timesheet selector, then select the applicable timesheet configuration. Use the search field (placeholder: **Search for timesheet**) to filter by name.
