Managing Time Clock Entries

When employees forget to add Time Clock records or the records need to be corrected, these topics show you how.

Adding a New Time Clock Entry for an Employee

If an employee forgets to clock in/out and has already left, users with administrative rights can add the records themselves. Only associates with TimeClockEntrySearchForm and TimeClockEntryDataForm permissions settings as defined in Setting Up Time Clock Permissions for Individuals and Groups can add new time clock entries.

To add a new time clock entry for an employee:

1. Log in as an administrator.

2. From the Main Menu, choose Time Clock > Database > Time Clock Entries to display the Time Clock Entries form.

3. Select the New button to display the Time Clock Entry box.

4. Complete the fields for the employee, choosing their name, pay rate description, clock in and/or clock out dates / times, and a clock code.

Note: You can enter only one Clock In or Clock Out time, if you need to. Make sure the Clock Code matches the clock setting you choose.

5. Click Save to save your changes.

Editing Employee Time Clock Records

To edit an employee’s time clock record:

1. Log in as an administrator.
