You may have forgotten to click the Save
or Save & Calculate button after you marked the time pair
for deletion. Clicking the Delete button after you have selected
the row only marks the row for deletion. You must save the timecard
using one of the Save buttons in order for the deletion to take
place.
The Save button runs basic validity tests
on any new or changed information on the Timecard Manager page
and, if the information is valid, saves it to ezLaborManager's
database. The Save button does not cause the newly saved data
to be processed immediately. The new data will be processed at
the time the scheduled processing runs, and certain time pair
errors may not be apparent until that time.
The Save & Calculate button functions
like the Save button, but also initiates the immediate processing
of any new or changed time pairs. This allows you to see immediately
whether your edits will generate any errors when the timecard
is processed. Although using the Save & Calculate button requires
more time per edit, you may want to use it to verify the validity
of your edits. You may also need to use this button if you are
making corrections that need to be processed immediately so that
payroll can be processed.
The "Operation Successful" message you received at
the time of editing indicated that the edited time pair passed
basic validity tests and appeared to be complete and in the correct
form when the data was save. Sometime after you save the data,
ezLaborManager
performed further processing and calculations using the new data
and discovered a problem with the newly edited time pair. For
example, the time pair may have overlapped with an already processed
time pair.
You can use the Save &
Calculate button to initiate immediate processing of an
employee timecard at the time that you save your edits. The processor
will run for a few minutes (a message screen is displayed during
this time) and then the Timecard Manager will be refreshed. Successfully
processed time pairs will be marked with the
icon. Time pairs that could not be processed will be marked with
an error icon ( )
or warning icon ( ).
You can click the or
to view a Time Pair Detail window that will
contain further information about the error.
The Time In and Time Out columns are not
meaningful for hours-based employees, who are required to enter
their total hours but not their exact working times. Nonetheless,
the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager must display these time-related
columns because you may have both hours-based employees and time-based
employees. The Single Employee Timecard Manager only displays
the columns that are relevant to the selected employee's time-entry
type, so the Time In, Time Out, and Out Type columns appear in
the Single Employee Timecard Manager for time-based employees
but not for hours-based employees.
The times that appear in the Time In and
Time Out columns for hours-based employees in the Multiple Employee
Timecard Manager do not represent actual worked hours. These times
are created using a default start time. The out time is calculated
by adding the hours-based employee's reported hours to the start
time.
There are two common reasons why you may
not be able to edit some of the employee time pairs you are viewing
in the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager:
The time pair does not fall
within the current or next pay period. You cannot edit time
pairs for previous pay periods.
The employee whose time you
are trying to edit is an hours-based employee. Although you
can use the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager to view hours-based
employees' timecard data, you cannot edit hours-based time
pairs from the Multiple Employee view. To edit an hours-based
employee's reported hours, click the
button on the employee's row in the Multiple Employee Timecard
Manager. This will open a Single Employee Timecard Manager
for the employee, from which you can edit the employee's reported
hours.
The earnings code your company uses for
vacation time is probably defined as "hours-based."
This means that even for employees who are otherwise time-based,
an hours total must be used with the vacation earnings code. Instead
of entering a Time In and Time Out when recording vacation, simply
enter the total number of vacation hours in the Hours column.
Yes. To record a 24-hour shift, enter the exact same time of
day (for example, 8:00AM) in both the Time In and Time Out columns
and then enter "24" in the Hours column.
You may have inadvertently closed the clipboard window.
When you select one or more rows and click the Copy
button, data from the selected rows is copied to the clipboard,
where it will remain until you perform another copy. The clipboard
exists in a separate browser window that is opened, but minimised,
when you perform a copy. You can view the data on the clipboard
by maximising the browser window. If you maximise the window
to view the clipboard but then decide that you no longer need
to view it, be careful to minimise rather than close it. If you
close the clipboard window, the copied data will be cleared.
Your company may be set up so that once a supervisor
(or loan supervisor)
approves an entry on an employee's timecard, the entry is locked
and the employee will not be able to make any further changes
to it. If your company is configured this way, your employees
can only edit entries on their timecards that have not yet been
approved by their supervisor
(or loan supervisor).
If one or more of an employee's timecard entries has been locked
for this reason, the following message is displayed at the top
of the employee's timecard: "Rows may be disabled because
supervisor approval
has occurred."
If your company is not configured this way, employees can continue
to edit entries on their timecards after supervisor
approval has occurred. If you edit entries on an employee's timecard
that you previously approved, the approval will be removed and
you will have to approve the timecard again.
If you have questions about editing employees' timecards, contact
your system administrator.
Your company may be set up so that only some of your employees
require supervisor
approval of time pairs. In this case, the Supervisor Approval
check boxes for employees who do not require supervisor
approval are unavailable on the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager
page. If you view these employees on the Single Employee Timecard
Manager page, the Supervisor Approval column is hidden.
