Creating new entities in scheduled jobs

[bandtank]

Is there an example of how to create a new entity in a scheduled job? I see a lot of examples of DELETE and SELECT, but I need to insert new rows. Basically, it would be like clicking the 'Create xxxxxx' button in the UI and then filling out some fields before hitting save. I think I need to use getEntityManager or getEntity, but I can't find any documentation or tutorials explaining how either of those functions work.

I'm trying to create a 'Timesheet' entity for each user who has 'hasTimesheet' = true in their 'User' object. In pseudocode:

for each user where user.hasTimesheet = true:
    create new Timesheet and set a few fields
    save timesheet

                    'serviceName' => $serviceName,
                    'methodName' => $methodName,
                    'data' => array('someVar' => 'someValue'),
                    'executeTime' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
                ));
                $this->getEntityManager()->saveEntity($job);
