Time Completion

The Time Completion tab on the Attendance Policy form enables and configures the Time Completion feature. Time Completion is designed for salaried employees who are unable to complete their timecards prior to the payroll being exported, and need to have at least their scheduled paid hours posted. A service called TIME_COMPLETION will post a Day Worked event with the number of hours needed to complete the timecard.

For example, an employee is scheduled to work 40 hours in a week, Monday – Friday. The employee works 8 hours each day, Monday through Thursday (a total of 32 hours). On Friday the employee also works 8 hours but forgets to complete his timecard. On Saturday the TIME_COMPLETION service runs and compares the employee’s reported 32 hours to his scheduled 40 hours. The service then posts 8 hours of a Day Worked event on the last scheduled work day (Friday in this example). The employee will be able to correct his timecard before the next payroll export.

The Time Completion tab is used to enable/disable Time Completion, define the event that the service will post, and define the range of time (week or pay period) which the service will check for the required number of hours. This tab also defines whether payroll locks are required for Time Completion.
