Selecting an archived time card for mass entry


You may be able to review employee time cards that your company has already exported to payroll. We call these archived time cards.

Your company’s setup determines whether: you can access archived time cards; the number of prior periods back that you can access; and whether you can review and correct archived time cards, or review them only. In all cases, you can view only those archived time cards that belong to employees who you are authorized to enter time for.

To access the Mass Amend Time Cards screen shown below, do one of the following. Note that if you do not have access to the archives, then these options are not available.

Is for this purpose...

  1. Time Card From Date

You can enter a time card period start date or a range of start dates as search criteria, or leave these fields blank to retrieve all archived time cards for the employee who you enter. You can enter dates manually or click Date Picker to the right of either date field to select a date from a calendar.

  1. Time Card Thru Date

  1. Org9 (user-defined label)

Enter the org9 that the employee whose time cards you want to review belongs to. You can look up an org9 by clicking Look Up to the right of the field.

Depending on your company’s setup, you may be required to enter an org9 in order to retrieve time cards, or the org9 may be optional.

  1. Employee (user-defined label)

Entering an employee is required in order to retrieve time cards. Depending on your company's setup, you may be able to click Look Up to the right of the field to look up the employee.

After you look up the employee or click Retrieve, e-timecard automatically displays the name of the employee whose ID you entered.

  1. Pre-Approved

To review unapproved time cards, leave this box unchecked. To review pre-approved time cards, click this check box. If you are allowed access to only one type of time card, then you cannot change whichever option is pre-filled in this field.

Prior to this version, you selected unapproved and pre-approved archived time cards on separate screens. This new check box lets you retrieve either type of time card from the same screen.

  1. Amended Only New!

Check this box if you want to review only those time cards that have been changed since the last time that they were archived.

  1. Retrieve

After you select criteria as described in 1 through 6, click Retrieve to display archived employee time cards that match your selections.

  1. Review Selected New!

After you click check boxes for time cards (see 10), click here to open them for review or changes. The View Time Card screen appears with the first listed time card among those that you selected. You can select a different time card view or look at additional data like errors if you wish.

Prior to this version, you could review only one archived time card at a time; you could not create a review list.

Note that you can click the check box above the list to select all time cards on the screen.

  1. Amended

Some screens in e-timecard use the term "Amended" to refer to a time card that was changed after your company exported it to payroll. Basically, "amended" means, "changed since the last time that it was archived."
