You can use the Single Employee Timecard Manager to edit employee time pairs that fall in the current or next pay period. To edit time pairs for an employees:

  1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Timecards . Either the Single Employee Timecard Manager or the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager will open, depending upon your Timecard Manager Preferences.

    Note: If the Timecards option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

  2. If the Timecard Manager opens in Multiple Employee View, click the Single Employee View link near the upper right corner of the page.

    Tip: If the employee whose time pairs you want to edit is listed in the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager, you can click the Single View Timecard Manager button to open the Single Employee Timecard Manager for the employee.

  3. If necessary, use the date selection tools to select date range that includes the time pairs you want to edit.

  4. Tips:
    Although you can use the date selection tools to view timecard information for any date range, you can only edit time pairs for dates that fall within the current or next pay period.

    You can use the Pay Date Range drop-down menu to select the current or next pay period, or you can use the start and end date fields (or the Calendar Lookup buttons) to define a range of dates. If you select a predefined date range, the Timecard Manager refreshes immediately. If you enter a start and end date manually or use the Calendar Lookup buttons, you must click Find to refresh the page with data for the dates you have chosen.

  5. Locate the row for the time pair you want to edit and edit the values in the Time In, Time Out, Hours, Out Type,  Earnings Code, Labor Category, Rate Modifier, and Shift Override columns as necessary.

    Notes:
    Some of these columns may not be visible, depending upon your Timecard Manager Preferences and the employee's time-entry type (time-based or hours-baesd).

    For information about each of these fields, see The Single Employee Timecard Manager.

    If you edit an employee's timecard after the employee or the employee's manager has approved it, the employee and manager approvals are removed and both the employee and the manager must approve the timecard again.

  6. If you want to specify an edit reason code that is different from your default edit reason code, enter a valid code in the Edit Reason field, or use the Lookup button to select a code.

    Notes:
    If you have set a default edit reason code in your user options, it will automatically be displayed in the Edit Reason field. If you have not set a default edit reason code in your user options, your company's default edit reason code will be displayed in the Edit Reason field.

    The Edit Reason column is only visible if you have enabled it in your Timecard Manager Preferences.

    An edit reason is required for every change you make to an employee's timecard, even if the Edit Reason column is not visible.

  7. If you want to include any additional information about the edits you have made, click the Notes button on the right side of the page for the appropriate row, enter a note in the pop-up window, and click the Done button.

    Notes:
    When you click the Notes button, the Notes window opens above the row and the row is highlighted so that you can see which row you are adding, viewing, or editing notes for. Depending on whether a note has already been added and submitted for a row, the following buttons are displayed:

    Blank Note - A note does not exist for a row. This is also the default note icon which is displayed before any notes have been added to a row.

    Deleted Note but not Submitted - All text has been deleted from a note window, but the page has not been submitted since the text was deleted.

    Written and Submitted Note - A note exists for a row and the page has been submitted since the note was added or edited.

    Written Note but not Submitted - A note exists for a row, but the page has not yet been submitted since the note was added or edited.

  8. If you need to edit other time pairs that are displayed in the current Timecard Manager, repeat steps 6-8 as necessary.

  9. If you want to delete one or more entire rows, click the check box in the Select column of the appropriate row or rows and then click the Delete button.

    Note: Clicking the Delete button marks the selected row or rows for deletion. The data in such rows is displayed in red, but is not be deleted until you click the Save button. If you decide not to delete a row that has been marked for deletion, click the Select check box for the row and click the Delete button again.

  10. After you have made all of your edits, click the Save button to save the edits, or click the Save & Calculate button to save the edits and initiate immediate processing of all of the employee's unprocessed time pairs and edits.

    Tips:
    Using the Save & Calculate button allows you to check whether the new edits will generate errors during processing. After you click Save & Calculate, the processor will take a few minutes to run, and then the Timecard Manager will be displayed again, showing the status for each time pair. See Single Employee Timecard Manager for a description of the time pair status icons.

    If you have marked one or more rows for deletion, a confirmation box will appear asking you to verify that you want to complete the deletion. Click
    OK if you are certain that you want to delete the marked data.

Notes:
If you will be doing extensive editing of employee timecards, you may benefit from using the Timecard Manager's cut and paste features. You can also use the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager to edit timecards for a single day for multiple employees.

As a practitioner, you can also delete or split (charge to different labor categories) existing time pairs in the current or next pay period or create new time pairs. Any edits you make to an employee's timecard will be recorded in an edit audit trail.
