Downloading your Template

Your time sheet template will be downloadable as a CSV [Comma Separated Variables] file. 

Step 1:

Download your Template as a CSV and proceed to either Google Sheets or Excel, whichever you prefer! At Borderless AI, we use Google Sheets, so the formatting of your template may be better represented on Google Sheets. However, both tools will allow you to use your timesheet just as easily.

Open a new file in Sheets/Excel.

Step 2:

Look for an option to import within Excel or Google Sheets.

In Sheets, it will be under File-->Import on the left hand side of your screen. 

Once you choose Import, you should have the choice to Import a file from your device. Choose the CSV file of your timesheet template that you just downloaded. Allow for all necessary formatting and import!

Filling out your Timesheet

There are a few steps you will need to take in order to correctly fill out your timesheet in a manner that will allow us, at Borderless AI, to properly keep track of your hours (and pay you accordingly).

Step 1: 

Fill out your start time, end time, and also the number of hours of a break you took. These numbers should be as exact as possible, so we recommend filling out your timesheet throughout the day, as you reach these landmarks.

Step 2:

Check ALL your hours for accuracy before proceeding to the next steps. Check every day and right before you upload into Borderless AI, too!

 

Uploading your Timesheet into Borderless AI (As a CSV File)

Step 1:

Download your timesheet as a CSV file. Do this by navigating to File--> Download --> Comma Separated Values (.csv) in Google Sheets, or the equivalent in Excel.

Step 2:

Upload your completed timesheet into Borderless AI--> Employee--> Time Tracking. Follow all the steps on Borderless AI to properly upload.

 

Withdrawing & Resubmitting (Correcting Mistakes)

If you notice a mistake after uploading:

  • You can Withdraw your submitted timesheet (as long as payroll has not yet processed it).

  • Withdrawing keeps a record of the old file, but removes it from active review.

  • After withdrawing, upload a new corrected CSV file.

Note: Business Users (your manager/admin) can also withdraw your timesheet if they spot errors in your submission.

 

Additional Information

  • Your timesheet must be submitted on time to allow for us, at Borderless AI, to pay you on time.

Pro Tips!

  1. You can save your timesheet from the previous period and use that for the next period! Just change the dates accordingly. This is especially useful if you tend to work the same hours every week. You can simply adjust times based on whatever days differ rather than going through the full process every pay period. Just make sure you still upload it!

  2. You can use formulas in Sheets/Excel to calculate your hours automatically. Once you’re done, convert them into fixed numbers before exporting:

    1. Mac: Select all → Cmd + C → Cmd + Shift + V

    2. Windows: Select all → Ctrl + C → Ctrl + Shift + V
