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
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.
To Remove a Column:
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.
2.
Choose the <<Remove button.
The selected column name(s) is moved to the Available Columns viewer. Each time the user logs into the Timesheet routine, only the columns indicated in the Select Columns viewer are displayed.
To Add a Column:
1.
Click on a column name under the Available Columns viewer. To select more than one column, hold down the Ctrl key and highlight the appropriate column names.
2.
Choose the Add>> button.
The selected column name(s) is moved to the Selected Columns viewer. Each time the user logs into the Timesheet routine, only the columns indicated in the Select Columns viewer are displayed.
To Move Columns:
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.
2.
Choose the Move Up or Move Down button.
The selected column name(s) is shifted up or down in the Selected Columns viewer. When you return to the Timesheet Entry window, the column names are displayed in the order that they appear on the Selected Columns viewer in Set User Preferences.
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
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
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
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.
Filter
Use the filter to restrict the display of timesheet information in the browser. For example, you may wish to display only timesheet records for employees whose last names start with A through H.
Select the Filter button. The Filter window is displayed.
Using the Filter:
1.
Enter the appropriate ranges in the filter starting and ending fields.
Example 1: To display timesheet records for employees whose last names start with A through H, go to the Name field and type A in the starting field and HZ in the ending field.
Example 2: To display only those timesheet records for Overtime Pay, go to the Earning field and type OT Pay in both the starting and ending fields.
Use the drop-down menus in the Units, Pay Rate, and Amount fields to further restrict the browser display.
Greater Equals – Select this option to display amounts greater than or equal to the units, pay rate, or amount entered.
Greater Than – Select this option to display amounts greater than the units, pay rate, or amount entered.
Equals – Select this option to display amounts equal to the units, pay rate, or amount entered.
Less Than – Select this option to display amounts less than the units, pay rate, or amount entered.
Less Equals – Select this option to display amounts less than or equal to the units, pay rate, or amount entered.

Removing the Filter Criteria:
1.
Select the Filter button. The Filter window is displayed.
2.
Press the Show All button.
The system returns the Timesheet browser and removes any filter criteria previously selected.
Sorting
To change the manner in which information is displayed in the browser, simply click on the column title (i.e., Empl #, Name, SSN, Emp Type, Account, Earning, Building, etc.) to change the sort. The column title is highlighted in yellow to indicate the selected primary sort option. A secondary sort option is available when using a primary sort of Employee Type, Account, Earnings, Building, Department, or Amount. The secondary sort option, as set up in Set User Preferences, can be by Employee Number, Employee Name, or Social Security Number. For example, if the primary sort is by Account Code and the secondary sort is by Employee Number, 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.
Searching
In addition, you may use the Search field to change the starting point of timesheet records contained in the browser. For example, if your primary sort is by Earnings and you wish to display those timesheet records for Overtime Pay first, type “OT PAY” in the Earning search field that displays to the above right of the browser. Press the binoculars to have the browser start with timesheet records for overtime earnings.
Refreshing
You may press the Refresh button at any time while in the Timesheet Entry routine. The system will refresh the timesheet browser with any new timesheet information that another user may be entering.
Copying a Timesheet Record
The Copy feature is used to copy an existing timesheet record from one employee to another. The Copy option should be used when all or most of the timesheet information is the same for the employee to which you are copying the timesheet record.
1.
Highlight the timesheet record in the browser that you want to copy.
2.
Press the Copy button. The Timesheet Copy window displays.
3.
Enter the number identifying the employee to which the timesheet record is to be copied.
4.
Change the copied employee type, building, department, entry date, earning code, account code, units, pay rate, and/or retirement system code as needed.
5.
Press the Save button.
To Use the Timesheet Quick Pay Entry Window:
1.
Click on the appropriate column title in the browser to indicate how the timesheet data is being grouped and inputted. Employee timesheet records can be sorted in any one of the following methods: by Employee Number, Name, Social Security Number, Employee Type, Account, Earning, etc. The column heading in the browser is highlighted to reflect the selected primary sort for timesheet entry.
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. The record that you are updating is highlighted. Enter the appropriate number of units to be paid for each employee and press Enter, Tab, or the Down Arrow key. The system multiplies the number of units by the pay rate and automatically calculates the extended pay amount.
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.
