How-To: Edit Jobs In Tātou Office App

What Job Information Can be Edited & Where

There are a few components of every Job that can be edited, and it is important to understand where to edit and what the implications of those edits are. These include:

Job Summary
Expenses
Timesheets
Block Progress
RELOCATE Feature

Edits relating to Employee Payroll cannot be made when the Pay Period is Closed. This is a feature to help prevent changes made after employees are paid for record continuity. Please talk to your Tātou Admin or Payroll Teams to ensure any incorrect pay is actioned in accordance to your organisation’s protocols.

For Contract or Performance Rate Jobs, units assigned to an employee must be deleted from the Block Progress PRIOR to deleting the Employee’s timesheet (see How-To: Edit Block Progress section for more details).
