Entering a Clocking Through the Add Clocking Screen

A Clocking transaction can be added to the employee record by using the Add Clocking button.

To add a clocking entry using the Add Clocking action, complete the following steps.

1. Select the Employee section from the tool bar.

   • If the user is opening his/her own record, click on the My Time Card button in the left pane.

   • If the user is submitting a request for another employee, open the Employee Search screen. Search for and open the employee record.

2. Click on the Add Clocking button in the left pane.

3. Enter the Date that this clocking should take place.

4. Enter the Time of the clocking. The format can either be 24-hour or 12-hour. If you are using 12-hour format, follow the time with 'a' or 'p' for AM and PM. For example, enter 0800a for 8:00 AM or 1000p for 10:00 PM.

   Note:  

   At this point, the system has enough information to complete the clocking. If no other fields are filled in, the system will use all the default values from the employee's Primary Home Labor Distribution record to complete the clocking record.

5. Click on the Save button to complete the clocking with the default values OR continue filling in additional fields.

6. If Quick Codes have been previously set up, enter a code for this clocking. The values set up in the Quick Code record will override the default values.

7. If the clocking has any special codes associated with it, enter the codes in the Special Codes fields. Up to five special codes can be added to this clocking.

8. The Prompt Time and Prompt Hours are entered if the clocking is created from prompts at an input device.

9. The Organization Unit fields can be filled in to indicate the alternate labor distribution where the employee is working.

10. If the employee is working an alternate job class, enter that information in the Job Class field.

11. If there is a Grant or Project where this clocking should be tracked, enter the values in the applicable fields.

12. If your organization is using the Lunch Attestation feature, answer the questions presented to you.

    The Lunch Attestation feature enables a prompt that employees answer when clocking, stating whether they took complete lunch breaks during their shifts. For more information, see Lunch Attestation Introduction.
