Worked time changes

The Daily Timesheet keeps track of the amount of time employees work each day for payroll. This time can be recorded using clocks that employees swipe or punch when they start and stop work, the Employee Transaction Manager (ETM), or supplied directly on the timesheet. Elapsed time overrides are used to adjust this recorded amount of worked time whenever it does not match the hours that are worked by the employee. Any extra hours or overtime worked has to be recorded on the employee’s timesheet.

The application also tracks where employees' time is spent by their default labor allocation. Employee labor is automatically charged against certain jobs, tasks, and departments. The default labor allocation also determines at what rate employees are paid. Elapsed time overrides are used to override the default labor allocation.

Elapsed time overrides serve two purposes:

  • To add worked time. For example, the time that is recorded on the employee’s timesheet is less than the amount of time that is worked. You can also override the pay rate to record overtime.
  • To override labor allocation. For example, an employee works on a different job or task, or in a different department, than specified in the default labor allocation.
