Timesheet Configuration Overview
Use Timesheet Configuration to set up and maintain timesheet processing options for the Vision Time application.
For example, use Timesheet Configuration to:
-
Specify timesheet global processing, display, and validation options.
-
Set up timesheet labor posting periods.
-
Set up, edit, or delete timesheet employee groups.
-
Set up alerts to remind employees when timesheets are due for submission and/or approval.
Additional Settings That Affect the Time Application
In addition to the settings in Timesheet Configuration, settings on the following tabs affect how your Time application works:
-
Time tab of Employee Info Center records — Use these settings to assign access rights to the Time application (Staff, Group, Company, or System) to each employee.
-
General tab of Accounting System Settings Configuration — Use these settings to enable secondary overtime, cost rate tables, and pay rate tables for timesheet processing.
-
Timesheets tab of Accounting Company Settings Configuration — Use these settings to specify timesheet posting and benefit accrual options and/or enable the ADP Payroll Interface.
-
Time and Expense tab of Project Info Center — Use these settings to set up budgeted labor charge validation parameters for individual projects.
Multicompany
If your firm uses the Multicompany feature, you must define system-wide processing options for the Time application and define company-specific processing options for each company within your enterprise.
