Checking Submitted Hours against Expected Hours

A system administrator can configure DPS to check submitted hours against expected hours. If this setting is enabled, the total regular hours on your timesheet are compared against your expected hours in the timesheet period.

If the Check Hours against Expected option in Settings > Time > Options is set to anything other than None, whenever you submit your timesheet, the total regular hours on your timesheet are compared against your expected hours in the timesheet period. Your expected regular hours are calculated by multiplying the number of working days in the timesheet period by the expected hours entered in Hours/Day on the Employment Details tab in the Employees hub.

If the Check Hours Entered Against Expected option on the Time & Expense tab in the Employees hub is set to Global, the setting for the Check Hours against Expected option in Settings > Time > Options is used.

If a discrepancy is found when regular hours are checked against hours expected, a warning or error message displays, depending on your configuration settings:

• Warnings alert you to the discrepancy, but you are allowed to submit the timesheet without changes.
• Errors alert you to the discrepancy, and you cannot submit the timesheet as long as the regular hours do not match the expected hours.

If the Check Hours against expected option in Settings > Time > Options is set to None, no error or warning displays.
