## How FieldTime works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in and explore your dashboard">
    Log in with your work email. Your dashboard shows pending timesheets, open compliance findings, and any entries that need your attention.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track time on your projects">
    Non-exempt employees clock in and out using the Punch Clock. Exempt employees enter hours directly on the Manual Entry screen. Both screens let you assign time to a specific project, phase, task, and labor classification.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit your weekly timesheet">
    At the end of the week, review your time entries and submit your timesheet. FieldTime checks your hours against California overtime and meal-break rules before submission.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Timesheets move through approval">
    Submitted timesheets flow through your Project Manager, then your Supervisor, and finally Payroll—each step leaving a full audit trail.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  FieldTime automatically syncs employee records, projects, phases, and tasks from Deltek Vantagepoint, so your project data is always up to date without manual entry.
