Other solutions want to charge for every user and, in most cases, the same amount, irrelevant of what the system user is doing.  This doesn't seem right - and we aren't ever going to do that, and here is why.  We are a SaaS solution, so our costs are not as high as when on-premises were the way to go!

Step 1: Create an account 
We don't think we can make this any easier; give us your details and a payment method to ensure your services continue after your trial period ends, and away you go.  You have now created your first user, the Company Administrator.

Note: if you are a sole trader, single director of a ltd company, etc., you can be the Company Administrator and all the roles listed below.  Add to that; any user can hold multiple roles. 

Step 2: Add your Workers
This is where we are different from every other solution that tracks time; we only charge for these user types, i.e. who we call Workers.  Workers are any users that will book time against a project and, once added, can be added to as many projects as you have; it will still be the cost of the Worker we will charge you for.

Step 3: Add your Project Managers
A Project Manager for us is someone who will create and own the work product that the Workers will book against time.  There is no limit to how many Projects you make or how many team members you add to this role.  While the Project Manager will set up the parameters for the Workers, i.e., working days, they will not be able to approve timesheets unless they are also Approvers.  We created our solution with this level of flexibility where, for example, the company is a staffing agency. 

Step 4: Add your Approvers
Approvers can see all the timesheets that have been submitted segregated by Projects they have been assigned to.  Approvers get an email notification when a timesheet is submitted and could use the embedded link to take them directly to that timesheet for review and subsequent approval or rejection.  A Project can have multiple Approvers, so we have enabled tracking so all Approvers can see which Approver has taken what action.

Step 5: Add your Reviewers
As the name suggests, this role is "read-only".  This role was designed with payroll or the company owner in mind, i.e., have a view of what is going on - but as with our solution, they can only review Projects they have been assigned to.

Step 6: Create a Project
Now that you are familiar with our role types and can assign users multiple roles, we suggest creating a Project.  But don't worry; you can do this step and the others in any order you like, excluding step 1.  Projects you create are not limited to your organisation; for example a user can have accounts at multiple companies using MyTimeKeeper if they are logging in with the same email address.

Step 7: General
Adding a new user to the system only requires you to email them from the system and assign a role type.  The user gets an email guiding them to create their own secure account.
You can add or remove role types to a user at any time but be careful if you remove the Worker role, as this will immediately prevent that user from accessing their timesheets.
Projects can be altered to have their end dates extended or the days bookable altered, giving you the flexibility of not needing to create a new Project.
