You may be required to provide explanations for late entries when you save or submit, as described below. Note that a time card entry is considered late only if it’s a new entry, not a change to an existing entry.
To provide explanations for late time card entries
Save or submit your time card.
If you changed any existing time card entries, the Explain Changes screen may appear first for you to explain your changes. See any of the instructions for correcting or reviewing time cards for details about selecting a reason and explanation when making changes.
The Explain Late Entries screen appears, listing all late entries that you have made to this time card since opening it or last saving it.
Select the appropriate reason code from the dropdown list.
If "(explain)" appears to the right of the reason code that you selected, then you must type specific details about the late entry in the Explanation field. Otherwise, the explanation is optional.
If you made more than one late entry on the time card, repeat steps 4 and 5 to select reason codes/enter explanations for each late entry.
Hint: You can apply the same reason code/explanation to multiple late entries. Click the check box for each late entry row that you want to apply the same reason code/explanation to, or click the check box above the rows to select all late entries on the screen. Select the reason code and type the explanation in the Multiple Late Entries section, then click Apply.
Click Continue. e-timecard saves your late entries and your reasons/explanations.
If you had simply saved the time card, the save is now complete. If you had submitted the time card, the submit process continues.
