Click this button after you enter the month, year, and the type of hours to display on the calendar. Options for the type of hours are Forecasted Payable Hours, Exceptions, Payable Hours, Reported Hours, or Scheduled Hours. For example, if you select Scheduled Hours and 8.00 is displayed in the days on the calendar, then you are scheduled to work eight hours on those days. |
| Previous Month and Next Month |
Use these buttons to display the preceding or next month. |
At any given time, any day in the calendar may display the following valid values: X, P, E, $, F, or R. These values indicate that there is information about reported time for that day. For example, suppose E appears for one day on the calendar. This means that the employee has elapsed time reported for that day. If $ appears, it means that payable time exists for that day. See the bottom of the Launch Pad page for a description of each of the values. If any of the days are highlighted or linked, that indicates that the day has elapsed time, punch time, payable time, and exceptions with recommended actions for each exception.
