Time sheet policies contain the policies to which a time sheet, or a time card must
adhere.

By default, the Default time sheet policy is available with the system. As a Time card admin,
you can create multiple time sheet policies based on different requirements and workflows in your
organization. For example, specify a time sheet policy for each department or team and assign
appropriate users to them.

Time sheet policies also provide an ability to specify appropriate approval workflow for
project and non-project tasks.

A time sheet policy can be [set as a default
policy](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Mh8iP6s3TdNuVPZ45i6juw "As a time card administrator, you can set a time sheet policy as the default policy. The default policy is a global time sheet policy which applies to all the users who are not assigned to any other time sheet policy."). The default policy is a global time sheet policy which applies to all the users
who are not assigned to any other time sheet policy. Only one time sheet policy can be set as a
default policy.
