Daily Tab – Supervisor Timecard

The Daily tab on the Supervisor Review and Labor Review forms allows supervisors to view, modify, and enter transactions on a specific employee’s timecard. The Daily tab displays the timecard for the employee selected on the Current Situation, Time Card Review, or Labor Review form.

If you have been assigned a Supervision Date Policy, this policy will determine which of your employees and which dates you can view, sign, or post events for in the supervisor timecard. If you have not been assigned a Supervision Date Policy, the supervisor timecard can only be used to view, sign, or post events for the employees that you currently have authority over.

The Daily tab displays events that were posted during a single day, and the total hours for the single day. You can also sign/unsign specific days and adjust elapsed and punched transactions. Note that you cannot modify transactions posted automatically from a person's schedule, such as Late Arrivals, Early Departures, Gap Events, and Outside Gap Events.

The fields that are visible on the Daily tab are based on the Form Profile of the logged-in user, not the Form Profile of the employee whose timecard is showing.

If an employee does not have an effective Pay Policy for the date selected in this tab, then no timecard data will be shown.

The tasks that can be performed on the Daily tab (Find, Next, Sign, etc.) must be enabled in the logged in supervisor’s Security Role in order for them to display on the form. Additionally, if you have been assigned a Supervisor Role, the actions that you can carry out in this form will depend on the Functional Areas that have been assigned to your role. See Supervisor Role for more information.

Note: Supervisors cannot post time for employees that are inactive or terminated. However, supervisors who have a Security Data Role with a SUPERVISOR_ADMIN item may modify and cancel inactive and terminated employees' transactions.

The Daily tab of the timecard has two sections: a Filter section and the timecard section. The Filter section is used to select which day to display (see “Find Records” below).

You can show or hide fields in this tab by modifying your Form Profile.

You can change the names of these fields using the Dictionary Label form.

How Daily Timecard Data is Displayed

The fields that are visible on the Daily tab are based on the Form Profile of the logged-in user, not the Form Profile of the employee whose timecard is showing. You can show or hide these fields by modifying your Form Profile.

The left grid of the Daily timecard displays the charge items and descriptions. The right grid displays the duration details posted to the charge item, and the total hours charged to the item. If your Form Profile allows, you may also see comments and/or reason codes that were entered during a transaction.

You can scroll each side of the Daily timecard separately using the horizontal scroll bars on the bottom of the form.

The format of the hours shown on the timecard is determined by your Duration Format setting on the Preferences form. The options are CLOCK (HH:MM:SS), or DECIMAL (0.00).

Standard rounding rules apply to the timecard. Time entered in the timecard is automatically converted, stored, and displayed according to the applicable Rounding Policy. For example, if a person’s rounding interval is configured to be “Nearest Six Minutes” and the duration amount of 1:05 (one hour, five minutes) is entered into their timecard, the system will convert, store, and display the time as 1:06 (one hour, six minutes) to conform to the time rounding rules. The system applies the Rounding Policy of the person whose timecard is being modified. If a supervisor is modifying an employee’s timecard, the employee’s Rounding Policy is used. In the Self Service timecard, the logged on user’s Rounding Policy is used.

If you have the Show Adjustments box checked in your Preferences settings, the timecard will display any adjustments that have been made to elapsed or punched transactions. The adjusted hours will stay visible on the timecard, but will be grayed out with a line through the entry. The adjusted hours will not count towards the total hours. To hide the adjusted hours, uncheck the Show Adjustments box in the Preferences form.

 

Download Records

To download the timecard records on the Daily tab, click the Download button. Your web browser will display a message asking if you want to open or save the .csv file. Open the file to view it immediately or click Save to save it to disk.

 

Sign/Unsign Day

You can sign and unsign an employee's timecard via the Sign Day/Unsign Day button on the Daily tab.

The Sign/Unsign Day button will only be visible if the Sign Policy of the employee whose timecard you are viewing has the Supervisor Sign Option enabled for Day. The Sign Day button also has to be enabled in your Security Role.

  1. Ensure that the day you want to sign/unsign is displayed (if necessary, change the Posting Date in the filter area).

    If the day has not been signed by a supervisor, the Sign Day button displays. Otherwise, the Unsign Day button displays.

  2. Click Sign Day to add your supervisor signature to the day.

  3. Click Sign and Next to sign the day for the selected employee and then display the timecard for the next employee listed on the Current Situation, Time Card Review, or Labor Review form.

  4. If you are using the Time Card Check feature, and there are hours exceptions in the day, such as underreported or overreported hours, the Time Card Check pop-up form will appear. This form will list any error or warning messages that resulted from the hours exceptions. If there are any error violations in this form, the day will not be signed.

  5. Click Unsign Day to remove your supervisor signature from the day.

  6. If a password is required (the Supervisor Authentication on Sign setting is enabled), a pop-up form will display. Enter your login password and click OK.

When the day is supervisor signed, the icon will appear in the Status field in the filter area of the Daily tab. If the day is a split day, the icon will display if the supervisor only signed the first half. Likewise, the icon will display if the supervisor only signed the second half.

 

Repost Day

The Repost Day button allows the supervisor to repost the day’s transactions when a change is made outside the timecard that affects the day’s events on the timecard (such as the deletion of an automatic lunch from an employee’s schedule).

For example, a supervisor may check an employee’s daily timecard and see that the employee has an automatic lunch posting that needs to be removed. The supervisor asks an administrator to delete the lunch from the employee’s schedule. Once the lunch is deleted from the schedule, the supervisor clicks the Repost Day button on the timecard. The day’s events repost without the automatic lunch and the other events adjust as necessary.

The Repost Day button is available on the Current Situation form as well as the Daily tab of the Supervisor Review and Labor Review forms. If the button is not visible, you will need to enable it in the supervisor's Security Role.

You can use Repost Day for multiple selected employees on the Current Situation form. The POST setting of your Supervision Date Policy will determine whether you can repost a day for a selected employee. If you do not have posting access for all the selected employees, then Repost Day will not work for any of them.

You cannot use Repost Day on a day that is Payroll Locked.

You can view the adjusted transactions in the timecard if Show Adjustments is set to ALL in your Preferences.

 

Save

The Save button is used to save any hourly modifications you make directly in the grid. See Add Hours Directly to the Timecard and Modify an Elapsed Transaction Using Direct Entry.

 

Comments and Reason Codes

If your Form Profile permits, you can view an event’s Comments and/or Reason Codes on the Daily tab of the timecard.

The Comment column displays the comment text entered when the event was added, modified, or deleted.

The Comment/Reason/Desc column displays both the reason code (with its description) and the comment text entered when the event was added, modified, or deleted.

The Reason Code column displays the reason code selected when the event was added, modified, or deleted.

The Reason Code/Desc column displays the reason code (with its description) selected when the event was added, modified, or deleted.

When you click the icon, the Comment And Reason Codes pop-up form appears. Use this form to view, add, modify, and delete the transaction’s comments and reason codes.
