Set Up Attestations for Time and Labor

You can have workers attest to whether they're complying with time policies and various regulations. Workers make these attestations when they report time, when specified events or actions occur, or when certain conditions are met.

For example, you have workers attest that they took their meal break if they worked more than 5 hours. Or you show a meal attestation when someone saves their time card. Or you show an attestation after a specified time entry duration, such as 5 hours, or for specific time attributes.
  1. Create attestations by completing these tasks:
  2. Create time categories.

    For more complex logic, you can create an advanced time category rule and link it to the time category. Use time rule templates and time rules. You need to select a time category for each questionnaire you add to a time attestation set (next step). The category identifies the time card entries that the questionnaire applies to.

    For example, you create an advanced time category rule to identify when workers have payroll time events or entries, but they're not scheduled to work. You then create the Entry When Not Scheduled time category and link the advanced time category rule to it. In a time attestation set with a questionnaire about overtime attestation, you link the Entry When Not Scheduled time category to that questionnaire.

  3. Create groups of related attestations.

    Go to Setup and Maintenance > Workforce Deployment > Time and Labor > Time Attestation Sets.

    • Time-card level attestations appear every time the worker submits their time card for approval and the attestation display conditions are met.
    • Detail-level and day-level attestations appear only once.
  4. Link time attestation sets to time entry profiles for workers with shared compliance characteristics so that they can make the appropriate attestations.

    Go to Setup and Maintenance > Workforce Deployment > Time and Labor > Worker Time Entry Profiles.

    Optionally set the number of days before and after the current day that workers can edit their attestations. For example, your policy is to let people edit their attestations up to 5 days before the current date. If that day falls in a prior time card period, they can edit the attestations for the current and previous time cards.

    If you don't set any number of days, workers can always edit their attestations. It doesn't matter how many time card periods the time cards are in the past or future.
