Viewing uncreated time cards


You can view a list of time cards that employees haven't created yet, also known as missing time cards. You may want to use the new email feature to remind the employees that they need to create time cards for the period. If necessary, you can create time cards for the employees.

To access the Approval Not Created screen shown below:

Is for this purpose...

  1. Time Card Schedule New!

Lets you filter by schedule the uncreated time cards that you want to view. Select the time card schedule from the dropdown list.

To return to viewing uncreated time cards for all schedules, select the Select a schedule option from the top dropdown list.

  1. Time Card Start Date

Time card period start date for the uncreated time cards that you want to view. Required. You can enter a date manually or click Date Picker to the right of the field to select a date from a calendar.

Note that in previous versions, you selected uncreated time cards by employee first, then by time card period. This version makes it easier for you to retrieve all uncreated time cards for all employees, for a specific period.

  1. Approver New!

Select the approver whose uncreated time cards you want to view. This list shows only you and those approvers who delegated their authority to you. Your name and ID are selected by default, meaning that e-timecard will display uncreated time cards for your employees.

  1. Retrieve

After you select a time card schedule and delegating approver if you wish and enter the required time card start date, click Retrieve to display uncreated employee time cards that match your selections.

  1. Create Selected New!

After you click check boxes for uncreated time cards (see 8), click here to open them. The Edit Time Card screen appears with the first listed time card among those that you selected. From here, you can create and save time cards for the employees, then approve them if you wish.

If you want to create a different time card that you selected on the Approval Not Created screen, select it from the Select a time card period dropdown list. This lets you move among the time cards that you selected to create. The order in which the time cards appear depends on how you sorted the list on the Approval Not Created screen (see 10).

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

  1. Email Selected New!

After you click check boxes for uncreated time cards (see 8), click here to email the employees who those time cards belong to. Your computer's email application opens an email window that includes your own address in the To field and the addresses of the employees who you selected in the Bcc field. In the Subject field, "Missing time card" defaults, but you can change it.
