    Charging Hours to Different Labor Categories  | 
			
    
  | 
		
If your company charges employee hours to specific labor categories (such as departments and/or jobs), the Time & Attendance module automatically charges your hours to your default or "home" categories (as specified by your system administrator) when you record your time. However, you may occasionally perform work outside of these home categories.
To record time in different labor categories, you must record a start time and end time for your work in each category (including your home categories) and charge each of these "time pairs" to the correct category.
To charge hours to different labor categories:
From the Time & Attendance menu, select My Timecard.
Note: If the My Timecard option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Employee in the Role Selector.
On the Today’s Activities section, click the button.
If the day for which you need to enter information is not displayed on the timecard, use the date selection tools to change the view to an appropriate date range.
Tips:
	You can use the drop-down menu to select a predefined date range or 
	 use the start and end date fields (or the 
 buttons) 
	 to define a range of dates. If you select a predefined date range, 
	 the timecard will refresh immediately. If you enter a start and end 
	 date manually or using the 
 buttons, you must click 
	 Find to refresh the timecard 
	 with data for the dates you have chosen.
	
	Although you can use the date selection tools to view timecard information 
	 for other dates, you can only enter data for dates that fall within 
	 the current or next pay period.
If a blank row does not appear 
	 for the appropriate date, click the 
 button on 
	 an existing row to create a new row with the same date.
Tip: You can also use the Insert button to add new rows.
In the Time In column on the row for the appropriate day, enter the time you began working in the first labor category or categories.
In the Time Out column, enter the time you stopped working in the first labor category or categories.
Use the 
 
	 button in the relevant columns (for example, Department and Job) to 
	 select the categories to which these hours should be charged.
Tips:
	The specific labor category columns that appear on your timecard (if 
	 any) depend upon your company's structure and the Time & Attendance module's 
	 configuration.
	
	If your company uses many different labor categories, you may need 
	 to scroll to the right to view all of the timecard columns.
	
	If you do not enter new codes in a labor category column, the codes 
	 that appear by default in your timecard (if any) will be used.
If you want to include any 
	 additional information about the time you are recording, click the 
	 
 button on the right side 
	 of the page, enter a note in the pop-up window, and click the Done button.
Notes:
	When you click the 
 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:
	
	
 - 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.
	
	
 - All text has been deleted 
	 from a note window, but the page has not been submitted since the 
	 text was deleted.
	
	
 - A note exists for a row and the page 
	 has been submitted since the note was added or edited.
	
	
 - A note exists for a row, but the page 
	 has not yet been submitted since the note was added or edited.
To record another segment 
	 of hours on the same day that should be charged to a different combination 
	 of labor categories, click the 
button 
	 on the previous entry to create a new row with the same date.
Note: 
	 This creates a new row that is identical to the row on which the 
 button was clicked. You must 
	 edit all of the data that needs to be changed on the new row.
In the Time In column of the new row, enter the time you began working in the second labor category or categories.
In the Time Out column, enter the time you stopped working in the second labor category or categories.
Use the 
 
	 button in the relevant columns (for example, Department and Job) to 
	 select the categories to which these hours should be charged.
If you need to report more work segments in different labor categories, repeat the previous steps as necessary.
After you have entered information about all of your work segments, click the Save button to record your new data.
If your information meets basic validation requirements, the timecard will refresh with an "Operation Successful" message displayed near the top of the page.
Notes:
The timecard displays status information about each entry. See Reading Your Time Entries for information 
 about the icons used to indicate status.
The time entries for each segment of work recorded on the timecard cannot 
 overlap.
