How to Add Shifts to a Timesheet

You add attendance items to a timesheet to capture a payee's shift attendance information or an absence from a shift that the payee was scheduled to work.

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).

To add a shift to a timesheet, follow the procedure below.

1	Open the relevant timesheet in the Timesheet Entry screen.
2	In the Attendance section of the screen, click Add in the row representing the work date on which the shift is to be added. A new row is added for the same work date.
3	In the new row, key in or select the start time, end time, attendance type and, if applicable, the project code.
4	Click Save near the top of the Timesheet Entry screen to save the timesheet or click Submit to submit the timesheet for approval.

You can also add shifts to a timesheet that is in the Available status before the timesheet is saved. To do this, follow the procedure above but instead of opening an incomplete timesheet for editing, open the relevant timesheet from your list of available timesheets.
