Timecard Tab

Use this tab to enter actual times for an employee. You can, for example, set up timecard rules that specify a certain number of hours per day are coded to one pay transaction type, while another number of hours are coded to a different pay transaction type, allowing normal hours to be processed, and overtime hours.

A timecard rule allows days to have different transaction types, as well as setting the transaction type if the day is a public holiday. When the timecards are processed, the timecard rules are applied. You can enter timecards at the same time as standard pay lines, however once timecards are processed, they have to be removed if further timecard lines are needed to be processed.

You can process timecard lines to become a GL line or a JC line depending on what is entered in the Account/Job field.

Select a timecard rule as a default on the employee or changed on the individual pay.
