Labor Period Status Values

When you add a labor period to the Calendar grid, you must select a status for the labor period. The status you select determines what timesheet processing options are available to Timesheet users when they enter timesheets for that labor period. You can change the status of a labor period at any time.

All users can open and print any timesheet to which they have access, whether the labor period status is Open, Administrators, System Administrators, or Closed.

A user's access rights to the Timesheet feature also affect what processing options are available. You establish access rights on the Time tab of the Employee Info Center.

The following table describes the labor period status values.
