Recording Your Hours |
|
To record your time using the time sheet:
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 Time Sheet button.
If the day for which you need to enter information is not displayed on the time sheet, 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 time sheet
will refresh immediately. If you enter a start and end date manually
or using the
buttons,
you must click Find to refresh
the time sheet
with data for the dates you have chosen.
Although you can use the date selection tools to view time sheet 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 Hours column for the appropriate day, enter the total number of hours you worked. You can record fractions of an hour by using up to two decimal places. For instance, if you worked 4 hours and 15 minutes, type 4.25 in the Hours column.
Tip: If your time sheet displays your scheduled hours in light gray text and all of the default values in the row accurately reflect the work you performed, you can place a check mark in the Select box to accept the default values, and then skip to step 9.
If you need to assign a special
earnings code to your hours, use the button in
the Earnings Code column to select the appropriate code.
Tips:
Earnings codes are most often used to record
non-worked time, such as vacation or illness, but your company
may also allow or require you to use other earnings codes.
If you do not enter an earnings code, the Time & Attendance module
will assume you are entering normal worked time.
If you need to assign your
hours to one or more specific labor categories (such as a department
and a job), use the button
in the relevant columns to select the appropriate codes.
Tips:
The specific labor category columns that appear on your time sheet (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 time sheet
columns.
If you do not enter new codes in a labor category column, the codes
that appear by default in your time sheet
(if any) will be used.
If you want to include any
additional information about the worked 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 saved
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 saved since the text
was deleted.
- A note exists for a row and the page
has been saved since the note was added or edited.
- A note exists for a row, but the page
has not yet been saved since the note was added or edited.
If you need to record hours for another day, repeat steps 1-7.
Click the Save button to record all of your new data.
If your information meets basic validation requirements, the time sheet will refresh with an "Operation Successful" message displayed near the top of the page.
Notes:
The time sheet
displays status information about each entry on the time sheet.
See Reading
Your Time Entries for information about the icons used to indicate
status.
If you later need to come back and edit an entry, keep in mind that your
company may be set up so that once your manager
has approved an entry, the entry is locked and you cannot make any further
changes to it. If your company is configured this way, you can only edit
entries that have not yet been approved by your manager.
If one or more of your entries has been locked for this reason, the following
message is displayed at the top of the Time Sheet
page: "Rows may be disabled because manager
approval has occurred."
If your company is not configured this way, you can continue to edit entries
on your time sheet
after manager approval
has occurred. If you edit entries that have already been approved by you
or your manager, the
approvals will be removed and you and/or your manager
will have to approve your time sheet
again.
Regardless of how your company is configured for editing entries, you can
only edit entries in the current or next pay period.
If you have questions about editing your time sheet,
contact your manager.
