Current Day, Date, and Time

Appear immediately under the Home tab label. These values are based on the application server's clock, so they may vary slightly from your computer's date and time information. The date and time are displayed for your home time zone (as assigned to you by your employer).

Today's Activities Section

Includes buttons for performing common tasks (see below), a View Attendance Notifications link that allows you to view absences and late arrivals you have reported, and a message area that includes a summary of any activities you have performed today using the Clock In, Clock Out, Lunch Out, Transfer, Late Arrival, Absence, or My Calendar (if your company has turned this feature on) buttons.

Inbox

Displays automated messages that alert you to important information related to your time off requests and application upgrades. Your company may also allow you to activate or in-activate e-mail versions of automated messages. However, you cannot in-activate the delivery of messages to your Inbox. For more information, see Viewing Automated Messages.

Schedule at a Glance Section

Displays your work schedule for the next seven calendar days (if one has been assigned) and includes a View Schedule link that allows you to view your schedule for other periods of time (past, current, and future).

Clock In

Creates a record of the time at which you begin working (at the beginning of your working day or after having clocked out for lunch or any other reason). The clock-in time recorded by ezLaborManager will be the current time displayed on the Home tab at the moment you click the Clock In button. See Clocking In for more information.

Clock Out

(Clocking employees only)

Creates a record of the time at which you stop working. (Check with your supervisor to verify whether you should use this button or the Lunch Out button to begin your lunch period.) The clock-out time recorded by ezLaborManager will be the current time displayed on the Home tab at the moment you click the Clock Out button. See Clocking Out for more information.

Lunch Out

(Clocking employees only)

Creates a record of the time at which you begin your lunch period. (Check with your supervisor to verify whether you should use this button or the Clock Out button to begin your lunch period.) The lunch-out time recorded will be the current time displayed on the Home tab at the moment you click the Lunch Out button. See Clocking Out for Lunch for more information.

All employees can use the Time Sheet button to view their current and past time sheet data and, if required, approve their timecards for the current pay period. See Reading Your Time Sheet for more information.
