Start Stop Times Subtask

Labor laws in some states (California, for example) require that, in some cases, employees track and record start and stop times for each new task and for breaks and meals. Use the Start/Stop Times subtask to record this information. This subtask is available only if your company uses the Start/Stop Times feature.

If the timesheet is non-editable, you can still view the Start/Stop Times subtask, but the fields are disabled.

Location

To display the Start/Stop Times subtask:

  1. Click Time & Expense > Time > Timesheets > Timesheet.
  2. Click the Start/Stop Times subtask link.
    Note:

    If the timesheet is non-editable, you can still view the Start/Stop Times subtask, but the fields will be disabled.
