Review Pay Period

The Review Pay Period screen provides vital time card information for all employees who worked during the selected pay period. Displayed information includes the following:

  • Employees who have errors or unapproved shifts.
  • Number of hours employees worked.
  • Types of hours
  • Number of scheduled hours

Note: All shifts must be approved before a pay period can be closed. If there are any employees with shift errors, they must be corrected before approving the shifts.

You use the Review Time Card screen to view and edit employee time cards, which is where you will correct any shift errors. Double-click an employee row to open the Review Time Card screen for the selected employee.

Hint: Review Pay Period is a good way to check for duplicate punches. For example, if an employee punches in at 8 A.M., again at 8:01 A.M., and punches out at 5 P.M., the 8 A.M. punch will be matched with the 5 P.M. punch out, and would not appear as an error. You see the 8:01 A.M. punch in with no punch out. It appears as if you simply need to add the punch out. However, by doing so, you will pay the employee twice.
