Start Stop Times Subtask
Labor laws in some states (California, for example) require that, in some cases, employees track and record start and stop times for each new task and for breaks and meals. Use the Start/Stop Times subtask to record this information. This subtask is available only if your company uses the Start/Stop Times feature.
If the timesheet is non-editable, you can still view the Start/Stop Times subtask, but the fields are disabled.

| Charge |
Select the type of charge for which you are entering start and stop times: Break - Select the appropriate charge for a regular, non-meal break. Paid Break - If your timesheet is enabled for paid breaks, select the appropriate charge for tracking of paid breaks (for example, Paid Break).
Note: During validation, hours entered using a pay type that has been configured as valid for paid breaks are counted as hours worked. If overtime is automatically calculated, paid break entries are also counted as hours worked.
Meal - Select the appropriate code for a meal break. Work - Work period in which you worked on tasks for which you are required to track start and stop times. This option is only available if you are required to enter start and stop times for work periods, but do not have to enter them for individual tasks that you worked on within those periods. Timesheet line number and specific UDT01 code - Work period for a specific task for which you are required to track start and stop times. This option is only available if you are required to enter separate start and stop times for time spent on specific tasks (UDT01 codes) and your timesheet has at least one row for a UDT01 code that is set up for start and stop time entry. To enter start and stop times for a specific charge code, you must first add a row for it to the timesheet, if one doesn't already exist. |
