Before an employee or manager can create a timesheet, they must be assigned a timesheet rule. This allows the system to denote what kind of timesheets the employee is going to be able to create.
If you do not assign a timesheet rule to the employee or manager, then the user will encounter an error telling them that they are not currently set up to create timesheets or enter timesheets for their staff.
