Best Practices and Limitations of Enhanced Timesheets Using WFM

Know more about the best practices and limitations when using the feature.

Best Practices for Entering Payroll Hours

When entering payroll hours, keep these in mind:

  • Approved time entries from the previous week may be used to calculate overtime for the following week. Before adding time entries for the week, ensure that entries from the previous week are approved. See Automated Calculations with Enhanced Timesheets Using WFM.

  • Before entering time, ensure that you’re using the correct payroll item type that your supervisor, payroll manager, or administrator provided.

  • Ensure that there are no overlapping hours across your entries for the week.

  • Ensure that new or updated entries wouldn’t overlap nor change overtime calculations of paid time for current or previous weeks.

  • Before saving your entry, verify that the details are correct and complete. After an entry is approved, only employees with the Administrator role can update them.

For more information about entering time with the feature, see Entering Time in Enhanced Timesheets Using WFM.

Best Practices for Approving Hours

When approving hours, verify time entries before approving. Approved time entries for employees included in the next payroll batch are considered paid. Administrators can no longer edit or delete these entries.

For more information, see Approving Hours in Enhanced Timesheets Using WFM.
