Employee Group Tab of Company Timesheet Configuration

Use the Employee Group tab to add, copy, and delete employee timesheet groups and to add or remove employees from employee groups in the active company.

Creating timesheet groups lets you organize employees into discrete groups for timesheet entry, editing, submitting, approval, and posting purposes. For example, you can establish groups for the employees who share the same job function, work in the same department, or work in the same office.

Use timesheet groups to distribute timesheet administration responsibilities throughout each company and to define timesheet special categories.

You specify an employee as the administrator for a timesheet group on the Time tab in the Employee Info Center.
