My Time Entry
Access the My Time Entry screen via the My Time app on the Spectrum Dashboard.
This app displays all pre-time cards currently in progress for the selected employee for Regular checks (ignores manual checks, void checks, replacement checks and layoff checks), and for authorized pay types as designated by the Administrator in the Employee Kiosk Installation screen.
If the Work Order module is present and the Update labor entries to pre-time card entry checkbox is selected in the Work Order Installation - Labor screen, the My Time app displays untransferred work order hours separate from pre-time card hours.
Example:
Track Daily Working Hours - Some states have strict timekeeping reporting requirements that involve tracking daily working hours. If the Track daily working hours? checkbox is selected on the Employee Kiosk Installation screen, this screen is labeled My Time Entry - Hourly. The Instructions to Employee button appears in the header of this screen if a custom notice has been entered on the Notice to employee field of the Employee Kiosk Installation screen. This screen will contain an additional listbox containing daily time entries, including start time, lunch out, lunch in and stop time by day. If there is a discrepancy between the time entries and the calculated hours, the listbox will display a red error icon for the row. If there are no hours logged, the listbox will display a yellow warning icon for the row. Click the Edit button to edit these time entries and provide an 'Exception note' for any changes you make.
- Clicking on a row in the My Time app opens the New/Edit Employee Time Entry window in the current company with the employee in context.
- The list box in My Time Entry shows time cards across all work dates. Records without a date are entered directly into Pre-Time Card Entry as the My Time app requires that the user enter a date. The list box in My Time Entry shows time cards across all work dates. Records without a date are entered directly into Pre-Time Card Entry as the My Time app requires that the user enter a date.
- The header of this screen will display Total payroll hours, and Untransferred W.O. hours if the Work Order module is installed and the 'Update labor entries to pre-time card entry' checkbox is selected in Work Order Installation. The sum of these hours will display beneath these fields.
- There are a few records that will not display in My Time Entry. Records that are 'posted' will not appear as the user can no longer modify them.
- If saving a pre-time card record containing job and equipment codes, the equipment rate information will default the amount set up in the Job-Specific Equipment Charge Rates screen. If no job-specific record is found (or rate is blank), the system will determine if this job is a sub job of a master job and use the job-specific rate from the master job. If there is no job-specific rate for the job or master job, the system will read for the standard job rate of the equipment code.
- For prevailing wage jobs with non-stated fringe, the standard pay rate will include the non-stated fringe and the employee rate will be adjusted automatically.
-
A Field Tech Time Entry button provides a convenient link to the work order time entry screen. The 'Untransferred W.O. hours' lists all labor hours that have been entered in the Work Order module that have yet to be updated to Pre-Time Card Entry. By rule, this total only includes the last seven days worth of work order time. The Field Tech Time Entry button only displays when the Field Tech module is installed and the user has security access to the Field Tech Time Entry screen.
- If the Timecard Approval Workflow is being used, entering a pre-time card record here triggers a new workflow.
- Records added to My Time Entry will automatically attach all related tax codes.
