Enter Correcting Timesheets

What can I do in these screens?

Use these screens to correct posted timesheets. This application represents one of several processes you can use to correct or modify timesheets after they have posted.  

You must click the Query icon and enter selection criteria, if applicable, in order to retrieve posted timesheet records.

All of the timesheet types in the Enter Correcting Timesheets screen appear as "D" (D-Correcting).  "Regular" timesheets are available in this program, but the timesheet type displays as "D."  If you perform a Query and search for timesheet types that begin with "R," the system will retrieve and display timesheet records with a "D" timesheet type; these timesheets have a sequence number between 1 and 9.

If you perform a Query and search for timesheet types that begin with "D," the system will retrieve and display timesheet records with a "D" timesheet type; these timesheets have a sequence number that can range from "11" to "99"; it is unlikely, however, that you will ever correct or modify a sequence "99" timesheet.

After you make corrections and save the timesheets, two timesheets are created.  The system automatically generates a reversing timesheet for the original. Reversing timesheets are saved as "N-Reversing." Correcting timesheets are also created and are saved as "D-Correcting." Both timesheet types can be accessed in the Enter Timesheets screen (People\Transactions\Timesheets).  "N-Reversing" timesheets are non-editable; however, you can make changes to "D-Correcting" timesheets before you post them.

The Enter Correcting Timesheets screens consist of two table windows, two subtasks, and three pushbuttons.  You can use the fields in these screens as follows:

When should I use these screens?

You can use these screens to correct posted timesheets; in addition, you can correct the timesheets generated by the Conversion of Crew Timesheets application.

Field Descriptions

Hrs Totals

Click this pushbutton to perform an automatic calculation of regular and overtime hours.

As you enter each timesheet line, you can keep a running total of the sum of the regular and overtime hours.  This amount displays in the Total Hours field.

Table Window

Use this table window to edit or view posted timesheets.  All of the record information available in this application originates from the Enter Timesheets screen (People\Transactions\Timesheets) or the Conversion of Crew Timesheets application.

Timesheet Date *

Enter, or use Calendar Lookup to select, the timesheet date. You must enter the date in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

You must enter a date within an open timesheet period.  You can use the Timesheet Periods screen to open a timesheet cycle.

The timesheet date must fall within an open period in order for you to save the timesheet record.

After you save the corrected timesheet, this date displays in the Reference Date field on the original timesheet available in the Enter Timesheets screen (People\Transactions\Timesheets).

Original TS Date

This non-editable field displays the original timesheet date.

After you save the corrected timesheet, this date displays in the Reference Date field of the Enter Timesheets screen (People\Transactions\Timesheets) on the "D-Correcting" and "N-Reversing" timesheets.

Employee *

This non-editable field displays the employee ID.

Employee Name

This non-editable field displays the employee name.

Timesheet Type *

This non-editable field displays the timesheet type.

Seq No *

This non-editable field displays the timesheet sequence number.

The number displayed in this field is based on the data in the Date, Employee, and Type fields. You can create one timesheet for each unique date/employee ID/timesheet type combination, with a maximum of nine sequences.  

"D-Correcting" timesheets begin with a sequence "11," (or one, one).  The first "1" represents the sequence and the second "1" denotes the first correction; therefore, "11" represents the first sequence of the "D-Correcting" timesheet and the first correction of a regular timesheet.

A sequence "21" represents the second sequence of a "D-Correcting" timesheet and first correction of a regular timesheet.  A sequence "99" represents the ninth sequence of the "D-Correcting" timesheet and the ninth correction of a regular timesheet; it is unlikely, however, that you will ever create a sequence "99" timesheet.

Regular Hours

This field displays the regular, non-overtime labor hours.   You can enter up to two places to the right of the decimal in this numeric field.

Other Hours

This field displays the overtime hours. You can enter up to two places to the right of the decimal in this numeric field.

Total Hours

This non-editable field displays the sum of the values in the Regular Hours and Other Hours fields.

Fiscal Year *

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the new open fiscal year for which the "D-Correcting" and "N-Reversing" timesheets should be posted.

Period *

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the new open accounting period for which the "D-Correcting" and "N-Reversing" timesheets should be posted.

Subperiod *

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the new open subperiod for which the "D-Correcting" and "N-Reversing" timesheets should be posted.

Auto Adjust Pct *

This field displays the auto adjust percentage.  

This field may populate automatically after you enter data in the Employee field, contingent upon the data you entered in the Default Auto-Adjustment Percent field in the Timesheet Periods screen.

The system uses this percentage to recalculate pay, despite the number of labor hours.

The auto adjust feature synchronizes the timesheet data with the data in the Employee Salary Information record to eliminate any pay variance.

If, for example, a salaried employee works 50.00 hours in a week, you will enter 100% in this field if the employee is to be paid his regular pay based on data in the Employee Salary Information screen.

In this circumstance, you will adjust the pay at 100%, and the employee will be paid his regular base pay for the week. Therefore, this employee will be paid for 40.00 hours, even though he worked 50.00.

The auto adjust calculation "may" be performed after you save the record, contingent upon the setup in the Overtime Settings screen (Administration\Configure\People).

Note:  The auto adjust feature works in conjunction with the setup you establish in the Overtime Settings screen (Administration\Configure\People). Your selection of fields in the Correcting Timesheet Auto-Adjust Options group box will determine which employees are eligible for the auto adjust calculation.

OT State *

This field displays the OT state charged on the previous timesheet. You can enter, or use Lookup to select, a different overtime state for this timesheet.

In addition, defaults and validations have been added to the withholdings fields to accommodate multi-state withholdings, as determined by the employee's pay cycle. These checks and validations are triggered if the employee's pay cycle is set for multi-state withholdings.

Line

This field displays the timesheet line number.  As you add timesheet lines, this number increases sequentially.

Timesheet lines remain in the order in which they are entered. Lines with the same account number are not combined.

You can use the scrollbar to view additional timesheet lines.

This field displays the labor costs for each timesheet line.

Labor costs are calculated in a number of ways, depending on the system settings in effect.

Based on your setup in the Labor Settings, Wage Determination Rates (People\Configure\Labor), Pay Types (People\Configure\Labor) and Employee Salary Information screens (People\Maintain\Employee), various calculations may be performed in order to calculate this amount.

Labor costs, however, are not displayed if labor suppression is in effect.  Labor suppression is established in the Users screen (Administration\Maintain\Users) and, if active, prevents display of the Amount field on the timesheet line.

GLC *

Enter, or use Lookup to select, up to six alphanumeric character to identify a GLC (general labor category).

The GLC code must display in the General Labor Categories screen.

If you assigned GLC codes to this employee in the Assign GLCs to Employees screen (People\Maintain\Employee), a warning displays if the GLC charged was not assigned, although you can still save the timesheet record.  If no GLC assignments were established for the affected employee, then the system does not perform any validation.

If you selected the Allow GLC Change on Timesheet checkbox in the Labor Settings screen, you can change the GLC code for this timesheet line.  If you did not select the Allow GLC Change on Timesheet checkbox, you cannot change the GLC.  In this case, you must accept the GLC defaults.

W/H Locality

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the locality withholding code this timesheet line represents. This field is applicable only to union employees.

If you selected the Enable Union Functionality checkbox in the Labor Settings screen and the Union Employee checkbox is selected for the employee in the Employee User Flow screen, this field will automatically default with the indicated project's locality withholding code from the Union Profiles screen.

The locality withholding code (for the union/project) defaults on the timesheet line based on the matching union, local, and GLC that are assigned to the employee in the Employee Salary Information screen.
