You can add, edit or delete attendance items on a timesheet to reflect a payee's actual time worked and any absences on days when they were scheduled to work. Image Removed Note:

Info

Generally, attendance items are not required for timesheets that belong to standard rates job orders. However, if it is necessary to capture work start and end times on standard rates timesheets, attendance items can be added to the timesheets to capture that information.

Depending on the job order to which a timesheet belongs, the timesheet may be pre-populated with attendance items based on the job schedule of the job. In such cases, it is only necessary to add, edit or delete attendance items on the timesheet if the payee's actual hours worked differed from the job schedule of the job order (e.g. the payee worked overtime or was absent for all or part of a scheduled shift).
