Create an acf/save_post filter that runs after acf http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acfsave_post/

Be sure to check the post type of the post just saved to prevent an infinite loop.

add_action('acf/save_post', 'create_payslip');
function create_payslip($post_id) {
  if (get_post_type($post_id) != 'timesheet') {
    return;
  }
  // get values from $post_id
  // use wp_insert_post() to create new post
  // use update_field() to update any acf fields
}
