Time Types

You have the ability to create Time types to be used in the Timesheets application. Time types offer a way to segregate and categorize timesheet entries and can be determined by the employee when entering the time. Some common values are: Regular Time, Overtime, and Personal Time. You can also use time types to determine billable or non-billable travel, paid time off, or other time entry classifications that may affect billing or reporting.

This feature is useful when you have projects where you may need to identify the hours spent in the standard workday (for example, 8 hours in the U.S.) and hours spent above the standard workday, due to a different billing rate or a contractual limit that can be charged to the customer. Time types are useful for reporting on employee activities and utilization components.

To create a Time Type:

1. Go to Administration > Application Settings > Timesheets > Time types.

2. Select New Time type from the Create Button.

3. Enter the Time type name.

4. Check the Allowed in schedules box if this time type is an option to use when entering time off requests and schedule exceptions.

5. Check the A task is not required for this time type box if this time type enables employees to enter time without designating a task as they might normally be required to do.

6. Notes may be added to describe this time type, if desired.

Note:

There is a feature available to limit time types based on the Project selected for a time entry. To enable this feature, Creating a Support Case and request that the following switch be enabled: Allow time types to be limited by the project (mutually exclusive with the feature that allow time types to be limited by the task ).
