The Home page for Practitioners can be accessed by selecting Home from the Time & Attendance menu when the Practitioner role is selected. It contains the following sections and features:

• Administrator Notifications section — Displays notifications related to pay cycle errors and licensing issues.

  Note: Pay cycle notifications are only displayed for those pay cycles for which notifications have been enabled. If notifications are enabled for a pay cycle, a notification is always displayed in the Administrator Notifications section when an error occurs for the pay cycle. As a practitioner, you can also configure the Time & Attendance module to send these notifications by e-mail. For information about enabling and configuring pay cycle notifications, see Configuring Pay Cycle Notifications.

• Tasks section - Provides easy access to the most commonly performed tasks.  Click the icons to view the following pages: Timecard Manager, Timecard Exceptions, Reports, Prepare for Payroll and Move to Next Pay Period.

• Inbox — Displays automated messages related to timecard exceptions, employee attendance, time off requests, timecard notes, timecard approvals, imports and exports, and automated reports. The exact types of automated Inbox messages a user receives depends on his or her user type and which features his or her company is configured to use. In most cases, if a task related to an automated message needs to be performed (for example, if a time off request is awaiting review), the message will contain a link to the specific the Time & Attendance module page from which the task can be performed.
  
  In addition to messages created automatically by the Time & Attendance module, the Inbox also displays custom messages created by ADP. These messages are sent by ADP to alert specific users of important information, such as the Time & Attendance module upgrades or the release of new training materials.
  
  As a practitioner, you can configure the default order in which Inbox messages are displayed to users in your company. You can also control whether certain types of Inbox messages are also sent to users by e-mail and whether individual users can override the default display order and delivery options set at the company level. For instructions, see Configuring Automated Messages.
  
  Your Inbox messages are displayed in the Inbox that appears onthe Home page in each role to which you have access. Therefore, any messages that appear in your Practitioner Inbox will also appear in the Inbox when you are logged in with the Employee role. The messages will also appear in the Inbox when you are logged in with the Manager role. For detailed information about viewing Inbox messages, see Viewing Automated Messages.

• Search - Allows you to quickly find and navigate to any specific Practitioner page. For more information, see The Search Tool.

Note: Notifications concerning pay cycle errors and licensing issues are only displayed in the Notifications section when you are logged in as a practitioner. (Pay cycle notifications can also be e-mailed to designated recipients.)
