The Time Card Details page will present your employee's time records, either made in the field or in the office, for a given date range. You can perform a variety of actions here, in addition to reviewing, such as editing the time card(s), emailing the time card to the employee, and/or approving the time card.

Some menu items on the Time Card Details are dependent on other options such as time card approvals, manual meal breaks, etc.

   • This icon can be expected if you are viewing the current workday as your employees may still be working at the time of reviewing.

Location View

When using Location View, the Location list on the left will list all active locations and any inactive locations with time records associated.

The Employee list on the right will only list employees that have time records associated with a selected location. Selecting the employee will show all their time records and not just time records with the selected location. 

1. Employee/Location View - Switch between Employee or Location View
2. Location Search
3. Employee Search

6. Red Exclamation Point for Locations - If a location is used for an incomplete time record, a red exclamation point will appear next to the location name.
7. Red Exclamation Point for Employees - If a time card has any time records that require your attention, this icon will be shown next to their name. This can be caused by an incomplete time card or overlapping time records.
   • This icon can be expected if you are viewing the current workday as your employees may still be working at the time of reviewing.
8. Inactive Location Icon - This icon will appear next to any inactive location if an employee has a time record with the respective location.

Time Card Hours, Date Range & Actions

1. Time Card Hours & Approvals - The employee's hours (regular, overtime (OT1), premium/double time (OT2), unpaid time, and total worked hours) for the selected date range and time card approval indicators, if any. For more information about time card approvals, you can refer to the following article.
2. Date Range
   • The drop-down menu will show quick options for pre-defined date ranges such as pay periods or weeks. If you have not set up a pay period/week, you can refer to the following article.

     

   • The arrow buttons can be used to go to the previous or next pay period/week/day. The arrows will be unavailable if you are viewing a custom date range.
   • Clicking the calendar icon will allow you to specify a date range, of up to 31 days.

     

3. Time Card Actions - An assortment of Actions such as adding time, recalculating the hours, and printing the currently selected time card can be performed here. The actions available may be dependent on other options/features being enabled for your security role. 
   • Add Time - Add a time record for the currently selected employee.
   • Add Meal Break - Add a manual meal break for the currently selected employee. This option will only appear if the employee's policy group has 'Manual Meal Break' enabled.
   • Recalculate - When clicked, will trigger ExakTime Connect to recalculate the currently viewed open and unapproved pay periods based on the policies at the time of recalculation.
     
     • When recalculating previous pay periods, be cautious of your policies being different from when the previous pay period was originally calculated as it can result in data discrepancies.
   • Print - Print the time card in a premade format.
   • Email to Employee - Email the time card to the currently selected employee.
   • Approve Time - Approve the employee's time card for the selected pay period. This button will not be available if viewing a custom date range. 
     • An employee's time card should only be approved at the end of your company's pay period. Approving a time card will prevent any records made by the employee from reaching their time card and instead going to the quarantined time section.
   • Approval History - View the approval/unapproval history for the pay period.
   • Copy Time - Copy time allows you to copy your time from one date range to another. This option only appears for your own time card and is not currently available to copy the time cards of other employees.
4. Column Manager - Add or remove columns from your time card.
   

Time Card & Icon Meanings

The employee time card will contain all time punches and records created on ExakTime Connect, Mobile, and JobClocks.

Columns

As the available columns can be dependent on certain features, we have listed common columns below:

• Location - Where the employee worked.
• Cost Code - What they did.
• Start/Stop Time - The start/stop time of the time record. The stop time will be grayed out if it is using the start time of the time record that immediately follows.
• REG/OT1/OT2 - If the time record hours are regular, overtime (OT1), or premium/double-time (OT2) based on your employee and location policies.
• Shift/Pay Code - Indicates what shift and/or pay code a time record would belong to
• Unpaid - Indicates how much time is spent for a manual meal break or for any approved unpaid time off requests. Will not show hours for auto lunch deductions or gaps of time between time records.

The columns for your time cards can be readjusted and repositioned with the column manager icon.

Time Card Symbols/Buttons

There are some functions that can only be done from the time card area. Some options/actions are dependent on features/options being enabled for your security role

1.  - Clicking this chevron icon will allow you to collapse or expand the time records for the given day.
2. Start/Stop Time - The start and stop time that an employee worked for the given location/cost code of the time record.
   • The "Stop Time" will be grayed out if it is using the start time of the following time record and will automatically update itself to reflect the start time of the following time record. 
   • - This "Clock Out" icon will be displayed towards the left of a stop time if it is a clock out for the employee's time record and is no longer tracking time. This will occur for time records where the stop time has been manually marked as being a "clock out" or when an employee clocks out in the field.

     • - A blue icon indicates that there is no GPS associated with the time punch. This can be due to:
       • Lack of location services at the time of creating the punch on ExakTime Mobile.
       • If the time punch was created manually with ExakTime Connect.
       • if the time record was created automatically by the system such as a midnight split.
