How do I load the default hours for an employee position's template?

Managers can set up an employee's timesheet so it displays the hours the employee is expected to work during a pay period. When the employee opens a timesheet, the default hours will display in the timesheet, but the employee can adjust the hours recorded in the timesheet to reflect their actual hours worked.

 

Before you get started

  • Assign a position to an employee.

  • Add the tasks and activities that you will assign to a default value to the Task Codes table (Timekeeping Organization Task Codes).  

 

Loading the default hours worked

1. Open Connect Timekeeping Employees Modify Existing Employees.

2. Use the Employee box to enter the employee name or number. Press Enter.
