Looking up a pay code


On time cards, you enter pay codes for regular time, premium overtime, vacation, sick, holiday, shift pay, hazardous pay, and so on.

The Pay Code (user-defined label) dropdown list shows all codes in your personal list. Your administrator adds and removes codes in your personal list. When you enter a pay code on a time card for the first time, e-timecard automatically adds it to your personal list.

If the Pay Code list doesn't show the pay code that you are looking for, and you see a Search option, select it to look up the pay code from a master list that contains either all company codes or all codes for your employee type. The image below and the process that follows show you how to look up a pay code from the master list.
