Do you want to indicate a user-defined label for the employee ID?

You can indicate a user-defined label for employee for use in all e-timecard entry screens and messages. You may find the Employee label in e-timecard entry parameter useful for the following reasons.

• It helps your company avoid liability if you allow non-employees such as contractors to enter their time in e-timecard. These users are technically not employees. If you use a term other than “employee” for the label, then these users will never see anything in the application that refers to them as employees. Thus you avoid the implication that these users have the rights and privileges of full employees.

• Just as you can specify your company’s terminology for items such as job numbers and cost elements, you can do the same if your company uses its own term for employees.

Because the default label for the employee is Employee ID, you do not need to change anything if you want to use the default.

e-timecard uses your user-defined label for employee on all screens related to e-timecard entry that users see. This includes not only the users who enter their own time viewing these screens, but also approvers and group timekeepers who review or make entries on these screens. Your user-defined label also appears in messages that appear on e-timecard entry screens.

Note: Some screens and messages that only approvers, group timekeepers, or administrators see do not use the user-defined label for employee. Some e-xpense screens and messages do not use the user-defined label, either.

There are two places that do not automatically use your user-defined label for employee, but you can change them manually.

• The User ID field on the Login screen. Find out how to change this field label manually.

• The Time Card > Approval View > Employee Job List menu item at the top of all e-timecard web application screens. Find out how to change this menu item manually.
