Entering comments

You can enter free-text comments for the job line to apply to specific days or to all days in the time card period. You can also enter comments for the entire time card. The image below and the table that follows show you how.

If your company requires reason codes for time card changes, late entries, or late submits, then you can also use the Comments screen to review and edit any associated explanations that you entered.
