| Reporting Supplemental Earnings | 
 | 
If your company compensates you for certain activities that are not directly related to the number of hours you work, you may be required to enter these reimbursable activities using the Time & Attendance module's Supplemental Earnings page. If you work in the restaurant industry, you may also be required to use the Supplemental Earnings page to record your tips and your gross receipts.
To create a new supplemental earnings record:
From the Time & Attendance menu, select My Timecard.
Note: If the My Timecard option is not available, make sure that you have selected the Employee role from the menu in the upper left corner of the page.
On the Home , click the Supplemental Earnings button to open the Supplemental Earnings page.
Tip: You can also open the Supplemental Earnings page by clicking the Supplemental Earnings link on the Time Sheet.
Use the Pay Date Range tools 
	 to select a range that includes the date for which you need to report 
	 supplemental earnings. For instance, if you are entering supplemental 
	 earnings for today, click  and select Today. 
	 Any supplemental earnings you have already reported for today will 
	 be displayed. If you have not reported any supplemental earnings for 
	 today, a blank row with today's date will be displayed.
 and select Today. 
	 Any supplemental earnings you have already reported for today will 
	 be displayed. If you have not reported any supplemental earnings for 
	 today, a blank row with today's date will be displayed.
Note: Although this step is not required, adjusting the supplemental earnings view to reflect an appropriate date range can simplify the process of entering a new supplemental earnings record. You can enter supplemental earnings for any date in the current or next pay period, even if you are viewing a different date range. If you do this, the transaction will be recorded when you click Submit, but it will disappear from the supplemental earnings screen you are viewing because the new record falls outside the date range being viewed. To view the new supplemental earnings record, you will have to adjust the date range of the Supplemental Earnings page.
If necessary, click  to add a new supplemental earnings row to 
	 the current display.

Notes:
When you submit a supplemental earnings record, the Time & Attendance module 
 performs any calculations required to figure your total compensation for 
 the record and displays the result in the Final Amount column. For example, 
 if you enter 100 miles and your company policy provides compensation of 
 $.37 per mile, the Final Amount column will display $37.00 after you click 
 the Submit button.
If you later need to come back and edit a supplemental earnings entry, 
 keep in mind that your company may be set up so that once your manager has approved a supplemental 
 earnings 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 supplemental earnings entries has been locked for 
 this reason, the following message is displayed at the top of the Supplemental 
 Earnings page: "Rows may be disabled because manager 
 approval has occurred."
If your company is not configured this way, you can continue to edit supplemental 
 earnings entries 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 supplemental earnings entries again.
Regardless of how your company is configured for editing supplemental earnings 
 entries, you can only edit entries in the current or next pay period.
If you have questions about editing your supplemental earnings entries, 
 contact your manager.
