Timesheets
To access the Timesheets function, select the Timesheets option from the Processing drop-down menu or simply select the Timesheet button on the Payroll Manager Main window.
 

 
The Timesheets function allows you to group and enter payroll period data by employee number, employee name, employee type, account, earning code, units, pay rate, amount, retirement system, date, building, department, or social security number. These various methods of data input help to expedite the payroll process. Blank timesheet input worksheets can be printed and distributed to various departments. Once the worksheets are completed and returned to the Payroll Department, the data can be easily entered. Once entered into the system, the data is transferred to the current payroll checks.
 


Overview


Overview
The Timesheet routine allows you to perform the following activities:
Set User Preferences allows you to customize the look of the Timesheet Entry window for each user who inputs timesheet records.
Data Entry and Maintenance allows you to add, update, or delete a timesheet records for employees. This also provides quick entry of timesheet units for each earnings record.
Printing allows you to print completed timesheet data so that you may verify your entries before transferring the data to the current payroll. This also allows you to generate blank timesheet input worksheets.
Transfer allows you to transfer timesheet data to the current payroll checks.
Utilities allows you to create, initialize, or purge timesheet entries for all employees associated with a specific group (Account, Earnings, Building, Department, Employee Type, Employee).
 


Set User Preferences


Set User Preferences
The look of the Timesheet Entry window can be customized for each user who inputs timesheet records. You can customize the columns that will show on the window by selecting the User Preferences option that displays in the toolbar at the top of the window. Upon selecting the User Preferences option, the Set User Preferences window displays.
 

 
When you first access Timesheets, all available columns are selected for you. Use the Set User Preferences window to remove columns and change the order in which columns are displayed on the Timesheet Entry window. You only need to set user preferences one time. After you change user preferences, the Timesheet Entry window will have the selected defaults for the user until you change the preferences again.
 
The data highlighted in Blue under the Selected columns section of the window cannot be removed. This means that the Employee Number, Employee Name, Units, Pay Rate, and Amount columns must always be displayed on the Timesheet Entry window. You may, however, choose to change the order in which the required columns are displayed on the window. You have the option of removing any or all other column information (SSN, Employee Type, Account, Earning Code, Building, Department, Retirement System, and Date) from the Timesheet Data Entry window. The order in which the column names are displayed on the Selected Columns viewer is the order in which the columns are displayed in the Timesheet Entry browser.

1.   Click on a column name under the Selected Columns viewer. To select more than one column, hold down the Ctrl key and highlight the appropriate column names.

To Set a Secondary Sort Option:
The primary sort option is specified by highlighting the desired column title in the Timesheet browser. A secondary sort option is available when using a primary sort of Employee Type, Account, Earnings, Building, Department, or Amount. The Secondary Sort By option, which is defined in the Set User Preferences window, can be by Employee Number, Employee Name, or Social Security Number. For example, if the primary sort is by Account Code, you may also choose the Employee Number secondary sort by radio button. In this scenario, all timesheet records will be sorted in numerical ascending order by Account Code. Within each account code, records are sorted in numerical ascending order by Employee Number.
 
 


Timesheet Data Entry


Timesheet Data Entry
The Timesheet Entry browser contains a listing of those timesheet records that were manually added or automatically set up through the Utilities setup routine. This routine facilitates the Payroll Timesheet process in that the user can simply go down the list of timesheet entries and enter the proper number of units to be paid.
 

 


Timesheet Browser


Timesheet Browser
The Timesheet Entry browser displays the column information that is set up for each user in the Set User Preferences routine. The Timesheet Entry routine allows you to group and enter payroll period data by employee number, employee name, social security number, employee type, earnings, account, building, department, etc. These various methods of data input help to facilitate and expedite the payroll process.
 


Building Permissions

Building Permissions
Your building permissions, as defined in the Building Range fields in the User Maintenance routine in System Manager, determine the information displayed in the Timesheet browser. If your building range permissions in User Maintenance is EL (Elementary School) to EL (Elementary School), the Timesheet browser only displays timesheet records for employees in the Elementary School.

Within each account code, records are sorted in numerical ascending order by Employee Number.

To Use the Timesheet Quick Pay Entry Window:

2.   Optionally select a secondary sort for timesheet entry by flagging the appropriate radio button in the Set User Preferences routine. For primary sort methods Employee Type, Account, Earnings, Building, Department, or Amount, a secondary sort by employee number, employee name, or social security number may be specified. For example, if timesheets are entered alphabetically by employee name within each building, click the Building column title and set the Secondary Sort By radio button in Set User Preferences to Employee Name.
3.   The Search button can be used to restrict the browser to specific timesheet entries based on the primary sorting option selected. For example, if you only wish to display timesheet records associated with those employees in the Elementary School Building, click the Building column title, type “Elementary” in the Building Search field, and press the OK button.
4.   To enter pay units, do one of the following: Double-click on the desired Units field in the browser or highlight the appropriate record and press the F5 key.

NOTE: If the Units and Amount fields are highlighted in red, the values have already been transferred to payroll. In this case, update to the units and amount values are not permitted. Use the Enter Additional Earnings function to make any necessary changes.

As you continue to record timesheet units, the system displays a running total of the extended amounts for the entries in the selected group and for all timesheet records.
5.   To exit the timesheet quick data entry mode, click anywhere within any one of the rows in the browser or press the F10 key.
 
NOTE: Once timesheet data has been transferred to the current payroll and checks are printed and posted, the Units and Amount values are zeroed out. When appropriate, the units for the next pay period may be entered.

Timesheet Maintenance


Timesheet Maintenance
The Maintenance routines are used to add, update, or delete a timesheet record for an employee. If you already have used the Setup Entries by Account option under Timesheet Utilities, those timesheet records are displayed on the Timesheet Pay Entry window.
 

 
 

Field Description
   
Employee (Required) The number that uniquely identifies the employee. If necessary, use the Employee Lookup browser to select the appropriate employee. The system defaults the employee name and social security number. NOTE: This field is not modifiable in Update mode.

Emp Type (Required) This field defaults to the employee type associated with the hourly or daily appointment. If no hourly or daily appointment exists, this field defaults to the employee type defined on the Information window in Employee Maintenance. You may change the default value if necessary. If needed, use the Employee Type Lookup browser to select the appropriate code.
   
Building (Required) This field defaults to the building code defined on the Information window in Employee Maintenance. You may change the default value if necessary. If needed, use the Building Code Lookup browser to select the appropriate code.
