Manage Your Timesheets

Employee Timesheet Overview

Time Management provides you with the ability to review timesheets and related history based on specific pay periods. This information helps ensure that timesheet punches are accurate and up-to-date.

Depending on your company's setup, you may have access to either an hourly or detailed timesheet, or have the option to toggle between the two.

To access your timesheet, go to Myself and select Time Management. Then select the Attendance category and the Timesheets tab.

If attestation is enabled, the timesheet displays an attestation status indicating whether you accepted or denied the attestation upon submission of the timesheet:
  • Not Yet Submitted – Indicates the timesheet is in an Open status.
  • Agreed or Disagreed – Indicates the timesheet is in a Submitted status, based on your selection.
  • NA – Applies only when your administrator has selected the Break/Meal Premiums option for your employee access group during timesheet configuration.

The Summary section shows up to five tables:

  • Adjustment – When this option is checked, it shows any adjusted hours from prior pay periods that will be applied to the current pay period. Shows the pay codes, hours, earnings, deductions, and work period for the adjustment.
  • Pay Matrix – Shows the pay code, pay ID, hours, rate, and payment amount. Select the icon to the right above the table to view the Pay Matrix Detail Summary, which includes any pay matrix calculations.
  • Weekly Summary – Provides a weekly breakdown of all paid hours during the weeks that are contained within the pay period, even if the employee is in a bi-weekly or semi-monthly pay period.
  • Accrual – Displays your accrued and used hours for vacation or paid time off (PTO).
  • Point System – If your company uses the Point System Module, it shows any points that have been added for infractions. For example, one-quarter of a point may be added for a tardy or a point may be added for an unexcused absence. Supervisors, managers, and administrators have an option to override these points if they deem it necessary.

In the Timesheet Detail section, the Action Bar includes Submit, Print, Punch, and Transfer. The Punch button appears only if it is configured and if the timesheet is in an Open status. The timesheet refreshes after a punch.

You can review regular, overtime, and total hours, earnings and deductions, regular and overtime pay by pay code.

When you submit the timesheet, if configured, you may be required to confirm that the submitted hours are true and accurate. Based on the timesheet, checks are in place to validate and detect any missing punches. If these are present, you will be required to make corrections before submitting the timesheet.

If enabled, you can roll back your own timesheet from SUBMIT status to OPEN status, provided the timesheet has not yet been approved by the supervisor. Selecting Undo Timesheet Submission returns the timesheet to OPEN status; you can then make changes and resubmit the timesheet. The Undo option remains visible on the timesheet until the supervisor approves it, at which time that confirmation message and Undo option disappear.

The Timesheet Punch feature contains the current date and time along with the ability to enter notes for the punch. When notes are entered, they are concatenated together into the timesheet Notes field. You can also view a schedule summary, displaying your scheduled organization levels for today, the total hours scheduled for today, and the quick summary of hours worked so far this week.

Select a pay period from the Pay Cycle drop-down list to view related timesheet information. When configured, you can choose your timesheet view, either Detailed or Hourly, using the Layout drop-down list.

View Attendance and Schedules with Date Filters

Date filters allow you to quickly review schedules and attendance by pay period or a specific date range.

Pages that allow you to use date filters contain a Display or Date Selection drop-down list. The Timesheet Detail section displays information for the selected date.

Employees and supervisors can use the date filter to view time on the Timesheet page. Supervisors and administrators will see many more pages with the date filter. These pages include the Summary and Timesheet pages in the Attendance menu and the Summary page in the Scheduler menu.

  1. From the Date Selection field, select Current Pay Period, Last Pay Period, or Next Pay Period.
  2. To filter by a specific pay period, select User Defined Pay Period. Use the calendar icon to select the dates, and then select Search.
  3. If applicable, select This Week (View Only) or Last Week (View Only) to view information for this week or last week. This filter is helpful if your pay periods span more than one week and you want to view one week at a time.
  4. If applicable, select User Defined Date Range (View Only) to view information by a specific date range. Enter the date range, and then select Search.
    Note Information is view only when you filter by week or defined date range. If you need to make edits, filter the data by pay period.
