Selecting whether time cards allow negative hours

You can decide whether e-timecard allows negative hour entries on time cards.

The Allow negative hours on time cards dropdown list defaults to Yes to indicate that e-timecard allows negative hours. You can prevent employees from entering negative hours on time cards by selecting No. You also have the option to let employees enter negative hours for an individual day/job entry, but the total hours for all jobs for the day must equal zero or greater.

Below are details for each of your options in the Allow negative hours on time cards dropdown list.

• Yes: The employee can enter negative hours for a day/job, and s/he can save a time card that contains a daily total that is negative.

• No: The employee cannot make negative entries on time cards.

• Daily Total Cannot be Less than Zero: The employee can enter negative hours for an individual day/job, but the total hours for the day cannot be negative.

If you select Daily Total Cannot be Less than Zero, and an employee makes negative entries leading to a daily total amount that is negative, then an error message appears when the employee tries to save or submit. The employee must change entries to make the daily total zero or greater, then save/submit again.
