Time Settings

Use Time Settings to set up and maintain timesheet entry and processing settings.

For example, you set up timesheet periods, time groups, time categories, and non-work days in Time Settings. You also determine some of the items that employees can or must enter on their timesheets, such as overtime, electronic signatures, and comments.

If you have multiple companies, you must enter Time Settings for each company. The active company that you have open displays at the top of a Time Settings tab. Use beside the active company name that displays in the Deltek title bar to switch to a different company and enter settings for another company.

The options that you set up in Time Settings apply only to the Timesheet application in the My Stuff section of the Navigation pane. They do not apply to the timesheet transactions that you enter in the Transaction Center in the desktop application.

In addition to the settings in Time Settings, other settings in the following locations also affect how the Timesheet application works:

• On the General tab in Settings > Advanced Accounting > General Settings in the desktop application, you define processing options for timesheets. These settings apply to a single company or to all your companies, if you have multiple companies.
• In Settings > General > Company Alerts in the desktop application, you set up timesheet alerts for a single company or for each company, if you have multiple companies.
• Settings that you enter on the Time tab in the Employee hub in the desktop application affect timesheet entries on an employee-by-employee basis.
• Settings that you enter on the Time & Expense tab in the Projects hub in the desktop application affect timesheet entries on a project-by-project basis.
