I’m using Airtable records for individual jobs in my business.
I’d like to incorporate timesheets into Airtable and have the timesheet data link to the job records.
I’m imagining a separate table for employees and their various pay rates which links to the main jobs table and calculates the cost of the job vs the budgeted amount, but I don’t want the pay rates and job costs to be visible to non-management employees.
Is this possible in Airtable? Is there perhaps another way of approaching this problem to achieve the same outcome? I’d love to hear any feedback!

Hi Kuovonne
Thanks for your reply - I’m liking the idea of your third suggestion.
Do you have an example of how I would link the employees to their pay rates via automation? I’m needing to report on the timesheet data together with the data from the jobs table.

This sounds a bit more complicated than it is.
Also keep in mind that this system does have limitations.
