Timesheet entry

Timesheet entry is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. Timesheet submissions, with hours by date and pay category. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.

Part of Payroll in the register catalog.
