Configure Time Card Code

These steps explain how to configure codes that can be used in the CBX Employee Time Card Processing system to track an employee's time.

• Codes 01 and 02 are used by the Time Card Entry screen to validate allocated hours against actual calculated worked time. Therefore, these two codes must represent working time and are typically designated as Regular and Overtime.

• Codes 03 through 10 can be used to log any non-working time such as vacations, personal time, sick time, etc. The Time Card Entry screen does not compare the calculated working hours against the time entered into these categories. This is so that you can enter, for example, an employee's vacation hours without having to enter “fake” start and end times for those days.

• The Time Card Entry screen allows an employee to enter lunch start and end times day and automatically deducts this time from the time-worked calculation. Therefore, it is NOT recommended that a category be used for lunch hours.

1. Launch Tool #858 Time Card Parameter Configuration.

2. Enter a two-digit code in the Field ID field on the first Time Card Definition pop-up.

   • The code must be one that is not already in use and must be between 01 and 10.

3. Click the forward arrow.

4. Enter an abbreviation for the new code in the Field abbreviation field on the second Time Card Definition pop-up.

   • This will be used on any screens or reports where there is not enough room for the full description.

5. Enter a brief description of the new code in the Field description field.

   • This description will appear beside the code on the first Time Card Definition pop-up.

6. Click the forward arrow.
