Setting up Timecard Rules

There are several rules that you can set that affect how users can enter information onto timecards. The settings for these rules can be different at each site in hierarchy.

To Set Timecard Rules for a Site

1.	From the Site window, select the Administration menu and Personnel Management Settings. The Personnel Management Settings dialog appears.

2.	Select the Policies tab.

3.	Select the appropriate settings for the following rules:

Setting Name

Description

Prompt remaining planned hours on timecard

Select this option to have the system prompt the timecard's Hours worked box with the remaining planned hours. If you select not to prompt the planned hours, the Hours worked box will be blank on the timecards.

Prompt the remaining hours to work with 0 hours

Select this option to have the system enter “0” as the default Remaining time on timecards. If you clear this option, the Remaining time box will be blank by default.

Maximum hours entered on timecards

Whether or not there is a maximum number of hours that can be entered on each timecard. For example, you may want to set 24.0 hours as the maximum for any one timecard. Doing so may help to prevent errors in timecard entry. If you select the option Edit the hours entered on a timecard, you must also enter the maximum number of hours.

Future dated timecards

Whether or not users can enter timecards for a future date and time. If you select the option Future dated timecards are allowed, you must also enter the period of time for which users can enter future dated timecards (for example, one day or one week into the future).
