To select an archived time card for mass entry

  1. Do one of the following to access the Mass Amend Time Cards screen.

  1. Enter a time card period start date or a range of start dates as search criteria, or leave the default of the earliest date in the system to retrieve all archived time cards for the employee who you enter.
    Hint:
    You can enter the dates manually. You can also click Date Picker to the right of either date field to select a date from a calendar.

  2. Enter the org9 (user-defined label) that the employee whose time cards you want to review belongs to. You can look up an org9 by clicking Look Up to the right of the field.

    Depending on your company’s setup, you may be required to enter an org9 in order to retrieve time cards, or the org9 may be optional.

  3. Enter an employee ID. Entering an employee is required in order to retrieve archived time cards. Depending on your company's setup, you may be able to click Look Up to the right of the field to look up the employee.

    After you look up the employee or click Retrieve, e-timecard automatically displays the name of the employee whose ID you entered.

  4. To review unapproved time cards, leave the Pre-Approved box unchecked. To review pre-approved time cards, click the Pre-Approved check box. If you are allowed access to only one type of time card, then you cannot change whichever option is pre-filled in this field.

  5. Check the Amended Only box if you want to review only those time cards that have been changed since the last time that they were archived.

  6. Click Retrieve to list employee time cards that match the criteria that you entered. For each time card, you can see the time card start and end dates, status, whether the time card has soft errors, number of hours on the time card, and whether the time card has been changed since the last time that it was archived.

  7. Do one of the following, depending on whether you want to review one archived time card or multiple time cards.

  8. On the View Time Card screen, you can see the daily allocation of time to each job, in display-only format. If desired, you can click a different time card view tab.

    If you do not want to change the time card, skip the remaining steps.

  13. When you are finished correcting the time card, click Save.

    Depending on your administrator's settings, the Explain Changes screen may appear, listing all changes that you have made to this time card since opening it or last saving it. If this screen doesn’t appear, skip to step 19.

  14. Select the appropriate reason code from the dropdown list.

  15. If "(explain)" appears to the right of the reason code that you selected, then you must type specific details about the change in the Explanation field. Otherwise, the explanation is optional.

  16. If you made more than one change on the time card, repeat steps 15 and 16 to select reason codes/enter explanations for each change.

    Hint:
    You can apply the same reason code/explanation to multiple time card changes. Click the check box for each time card change row that you want to apply the same reason code/explanation to, or click the check box above the rows to select all time card changes on the screen. Select the reason code and type the explanation in the Multiple Changes section, then click Apply.

  17. Click Continue. e-timecard saves your time card changes and your reasons/explanations.

  18. You must click Finish Mass Entry once you’ve made all changes.
