Hi guys.
From time to another, we are in a position where one employee are working on two difference tasks at the same time. One example could be waiting on a delayed client, and finishing an email while waiting.
How to do this, without the overlapping rows?
I donāt think you can record this accurately and, in case you need to bill both activities, have to cheat the system.
on the other hand I would think to remove inability of overlapping timesheets would not be too difficult to code.
I guess most people would want not want to allow overlapping in order to avoid errors and ādouble bookingsā which in a majority of use cases are unwanted Iād assume.
The only clean solution I could think of would be implement the option to choose whether your system should allow overlapping timesheets or not in a Setting. I assume that being a bit more difficult to implement then just replacing one strict rule with another though
This topic reminds me of a joke i heard about a young programmer just 27 yrs old who died and went to heaven. And at the gate he asked St. Peter, āSir, i am so young, why did i have to die?ā. To that St. Peter, replied. āI checked your time sheets. As per this you are 92 yrs old!ā 
Do as other IT companies perhaps do. Create fake billable employees who create time sheets.
That is the other option.
Actully, that would make perfect sense since the extra hours billed shouldnāt be part of the salary slip eitherā¦ I think that would be the most sensible option.
Thanks
