`PATCH /unified/hris/timesheet_entries/{id}`

Resource: **TimesheetEntries** · API: **Unified HRIS API**

## Supported integrations

7shifts, Deel, Workday

## Path parameters

- **`id`** _(string, required)_
  The ID of the resource.

## Query parameters

- **`integrated_account_id`** _(string, required)_
  The ID of the integrated account to use for the request.
- **`truto_response_format`** _(string)_
  The format of the response. - `unified` returns the response with unified mappings applied. - `raw` returns the unprocessed, raw response from the remote API. - `normalized` applies the unified mappings and returns the data in a normalized format. - `stream` returns the response as a stream, which is ideal for transmitting large datasets, files, or binary data. Using streaming mode helps to efficiently handle large payloads or real-time data flows without requiring the entire data to be buffered in memory. - `debug` returns the final unified result alongside raw remote fetch information. The response is an envelope containing `result` (identical to unified mode output) and `debug` (with `requestUrl`, `requestOptions`, `data`, `responseHeaders`, and for list operations: `nextCursor`, `isLooping`, `isEmptyResult`, `resultCount`). When the upstream body exceeds 1 MiB, `data` is replaced by `{ truto_truncated: true, truto_max_bytes, truto_excerpt }`. `debug` is `null` for static responses or when `truto_skip_api_call=true`. Defaults to `unified`.
  Allowed: `unified`, `raw`, `normalized`, `stream`, `debug`
- **`truto_ignore_remote_data`** _(boolean)_
  Excludes the `remote_data` attribute from the response.
- **`truto_enforce_write_schema`** _(boolean)_
  Validates the request body against this method's `request_body_schema` before the request is sent to the underlying integration. When a field marked `required` is missing, Truto responds `400` with the missing field names under `truto_error_insight.missing_required_body_fields` instead of forwarding the call. Only the fields documented in `request_body_schema` are checked. A body carrying a non-empty `remote_data` object is forwarded unchecked, because `remote_data` is merged into the provider request and may already carry the required values. A field the mapping always supplies through its default body is treated as present, and a field that is only conditionally required is reported under `truto_error_insight.conditionally_required_body_fields` rather than rejected. Some integrations declare fields `required` on `update` that the provider only requires on `create`; check `meta/{method}` for the resource before enabling this on update calls. If you sent an `Idempotency-Key` and the request was rejected, use a fresh key when you retry with a corrected body: the idempotency cache is keyed on the integrated account, path and key only — it ignores the query string and the body — so reusing the key replays the rejection. Defaults to `false`, which forwards the request as-is.
- **`truto_exclude_fields`** _(array<string>)_
  Array of fields to exclude from the response.
- **`remote_query`** _(object)_
  Query parameters to pass to the underlying API without any transformations. Refer [this guide](https://truto.one/docs/api-reference/overview/querying#remote-query-parameters) to see how to structure the query parameters.
- **`company`** _(object)_
  The company to use, referencing companies.id. Optional: when omitted the account's company is looked up automatically. The request fails if the account can see more than one company and none is given.
- **`company_id`** _(string)_
  Flat alternative to company.id.
- **`employee`** _(object)_
  Optional. The employee (employees.id) who owns the time block. When omitted, the block is read first to find its worker (one extra call).
- **`employee_id`** _(string)_
  Flat alternative to employee.id.

## Request body

- **`start_time`** _(string)_
  In time, ISO 8601 with an offset. Workday v6 stores a local time plus an IANA time zone, so the value is converted to timezone, or, when timezone is omitted, to the block's current time zone (the block is read first: one extra call). Left out of the update when no valid IANA time zone is known; the other fields are still sent.
- **`end_time`** _(string)_
  Out time, ISO 8601 with an offset. Converted like start_time (timezone, else the block's current out or in time zone).
- **`job_role`** _(object)_
  The role worked (job_roles.id). Required by 7shifts when the department has roles.
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for job roles
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the job role
- **`groups`** _(array<object>)_
  The department (groups.id); the first entry is used. Required by 7shifts when the location has departments.
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for groups
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the group
  - **`type`** _(string)_
    The type of the group
- **`notes`** _(string)_
  Comment on the time block.
- **`breaks`** _(array<object>)_
  Breaks taken. On update, send the complete list (7shifts deletes existing breaks that are left out), or omit breaks (or send null) to keep the existing ones.
  - **`start_time`** _(string)_
    When the break started
  - **`end_time`** _(string)_
    When the break ended. Empty while the break is in progress.
  - **`is_paid`** _(boolean)_
    Whether the break is paid
- **`hours_worked`** _(number)_
  Reported quantity (hours) for hourly time blocks.
- **`quantity`** _(number)_
  Deel-specific: the number of work units in the contract's own unit (days on a daily contract, the custom unit on a custom scale, hours on an hourly one). Takes precedence over hours_worked. Minimum 0.01.
- **`hourly_report_preset_id`** _(string)_
  Deel-specific: a timesheet preset id that links a standard hourly rate and label.
- **`work_date`** _(string)_
  The date of the time block (YYYY-MM-DD).
- **`timezone`** _(string)_
  IANA time zone (e.g. America/Los_Angeles) for start_time/end_time. When omitted, the block's current time zone is used. A name that is not a valid IANA zone drops start_time/end_time from the update instead of sending an invalid time.
- **`project`** _(object)_
  Workday project (WID). Mutually exclusive with the block's time entry code.
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for the project
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the project
- **`remote_data`** _(object)_
  Any additional data that should be passed as part of the request body. This data is not transformed by Truto and is passed as is to the remote API.

## Response body

- **`id`** _(string, required)_
  The unique identifier for the timesheet entry
- **`employee`** _(object)_
  The employee who worked the time, not the person who entered it
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for employees
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the employee
- **`work_date`** _(string)_
  The local calendar date the time counts toward, in YYYY-MM-DD format: the provider's own work, business or payroll date when it has one, otherwise the date of start_time in timezone. It is never taken from the UTC date. A shift that crosses midnight counts toward the date the provider attributes it to.
- **`start_time`** _(string)_
  When the time block started, as an ISO 8601 date-time with an explicit offset (Z or +HH:MM). Provider local times without an offset are converted using timezone. Empty when the provider records only a duration, or when the time zone is unknown.
- **`end_time`** _(string)_
  When the time block ended, in the same format as start_time. Empty while the entry is still open, when the provider records only a duration, or when the time zone is unknown.
- **`hours_worked`** _(number)_
  The number of hours worked in this entry, excluding unpaid breaks. It is the provider's own worked or payable figure when it has one, otherwise end_time minus start_time minus unpaid breaks, and it is empty while the entry is still open. Summing it across entries gives the time worked: unpaid breaks, time off and holidays count as 0 and paid breaks count their length.
- **`breaks`** _(array<object>)_
  The breaks taken during this entry
  - **`start_time`** _(string)_
    When the break started
  - **`end_time`** _(string)_
    When the break ended. Empty while the break is in progress.
  - **`is_paid`** _(boolean)_
    Whether the break is paid
- **`type`** _(string)_
  The kind of time recorded: regular working time, overtime, on call, a break, time off or a holiday. Providers that store breaks as separate entries return them with type break.
  Allowed: `regular`, `overtime`, `on_call`, `break`, `time_off`, `holiday`, `other`
- **`status`** _(string)_
  The approval status of the entry. draft: not yet submitted. pending: awaiting approval. approved: approved. rejected: rejected or sent back for correction. processed: paid, exported or locked by payroll. Providers that only record an approved flag return approved when it is set, and otherwise pending for completed entries and draft for entries that are still open.
  Allowed: `draft`, `pending`, `approved`, `rejected`, `processed`
- **`job_role`** _(object)_
  The job role the time was worked in
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for job roles
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the job role
- **`location`** _(object)_
  The location where the time was worked
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for locations
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the location

  The groups, such as departments or cost centers, the time is attributed to
  - **`id`** _(string)_
    The unique identifier for groups
  - **`name`** _(string)_
    The name of the group

  The currency of the pay rate, as an ISO 4217 code
- **`timezone`** _(string)_
  The IANA time zone name the time was recorded in, for example America/New_York
- **`notes`** _(string)_
  The notes attached to the entry
- **`created_at`** _(string)_
  The date and time the timesheet entry was created
- **`updated_at`** _(string)_
  The date and time the timesheet entry was last updated
- **`remote_data`** _(object)_
