# timesheet.submit

Submit all of your draft entries in a pay period (by id, or by a date in it when the dates aren't in a scheduled pay period) after required custom fields are filled in, in one step: either all of them go to review or none do. Skipped and paid periods can't take hours.

Permissions: `contractor:read`, `contractor:write` · Roles: contractor · Idempotency key required

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `periodId` | string (ID) |  | The ID of a contractor pay period. |
| `date` | string (date) |  | A date, as YYYY-MM-DD. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
