Fields on the Attendance Tab within the Time Master

Attendance Information

Supervisor. Assigned direct supervisor. Selections are from the Supervisor codes validation table.
Job. The employee's job assignment. If the Job does not pre-populate, select it now to assign a job to this employee. A Job code or labor segment may be associated with a workers' compensation rate policy.
Union. Union membership or affiliation, if any.
Work Week Begin Day. The week begin day determines the self-service weekly timesheet week, where the week end day and time are one minute before the begin day and time. Reference the Work Week Begin Daytopic to determine what numeric entry corresponds with the desired work end day. For instance, type 1 for a week beginning Sunday (typically ends on Saturday), or type 7 for a week ending on Saturday (typically ends on Friday).

Consider the pay period for the employee's pay group and synchronize the begin day of the pay period with the begin day of the workweek.

Note: After an employee has entries for a weekly timesheet or self-service time off requests, altering the Work Week Begin Day or Begin Time is not recommended. A result of making this setup change after implementation, time may be duplicated for weeks with overlapping days, and employees may be unable to select weeks with the previous week ending day and time.

Work Week Begin Time. Typically 0 or 00:00 is entered as the work week begin time when use of the self-service weekly timesheets is planned.

To determine the desired begin time in military format, reference the chart for Work Week Begin and End Times. A time other than 0 or 0:00 causes each timesheet day to be for a range. For instance a begin day of 1 and time of 1, cause Day 1 to be Sunday at 12:01 AM to Monday at 12:00 AM (midnight).

Export Hours To Payroll? To enable a processor to migrate hours and expenses from self-service weekly timesheets to pay entry, select "Export Hours To Payroll." Where self-service timesheets are not in use, this checkbox may still be selected.
