Rejecting time cards


Once you open a time card to review from the Approval View screen, you can reject it if necessary to return it to the employee for correction. You can always reject a time card from all time card views.

When you click Reject from the time card view, the Explain Rejection screen show below appears.

Is for this purpose...

  1. Instructions icon New!

To view on-screen instructions for rejecting a time card, you can either click the Instructions icon to open a popup window, or hover your cursor over it to view the tool tip. Other screens that require extensive on-screen instructions also use this icon.

  1. Reason Code

Select the appropriate reason code for rejecting the time card from the dropdown list.

  1. Explanation

If "(explain)" appears to the right of the reason code that you selected, then you must type specific details about why you're rejecting the time card. Otherwise, the explanation is optional.

Prior to this version, if your reason code selection required an explanation, you had to click OK on a message screen that informed you of this, then enter the explanation on another screen after that. So, one rejection could result in up to three screens of reason/explanation selection.

  1. Password

Your company's setup determines whether this field appears. If it does, enter the same password that you use to log into e-timecard.

  1. Continue

Click here to finish rejecting the time card.

e-timecard presents a message to confirm that you have successfully rejected the time card. The screen that this occurs on depends on whether you selected one time card or multiple time cards to review.

  • One time card: e-timecard returns you to the Approval View screen.

  • Multiple time cards: e-timecard brings you to the next time card listed among those that you selected, in the same time card view in which you were viewing the one that you just rejected.

    If you rejected the last time card listed among those that you selected, then the Approval View screen appears instead, even if there are more time cards in the selected list that you did not yet approve or reject.
