A health solutions company has been asked to develop a system for a large corporate client that monitors the time employees spend on projects and other tasks. The client wants this timesheet system to capture timesheets every week and employees must be able to update their personal details to keep them up to date. Line managers must be able to approve or reject a timesheet, as well as view and print their employees' timesheets. They should also be able to run and print management reports. As part of the time capture functionality, the system must validate whether the employee is using a valid project code to assign time against. Every month, the system will run an overtime calculation to notify line managers of any employees who had to work overtime. The system will be used globally and employees must be able to capture their time from anywhere in the world.
