Period Text

In Period Text, you can enter up to 10 characters of text for each timesheet period you set up. This text is then displayed in parentheses following the period ending date in the Timesheets screen and when you print timesheets.

Here are two ways you might use period text:

  • To display the fiscal week: 07/14/2007 (28)
  • To indicate the payroll week when, for example, you have weekly timesheet periods and bi-weekly payroll: 07/14/2007 (Week 1)

If Allow Timesheet Period Text is not checked in the Time Configuration screen, the Period Text field is not available.
