Step 8. Detailed Employee Timesheet (Mandatory)...Continued

What is the Detailed Employee Timesheet?

Why do I have to do this?

Data must be entered either on the Rapid Entry screen or the Detailed Employee Timesheet (or Employee Timesheet – Second Payment screen) in order for your employees to get paid. To set up a new employee or to enter exceptions such as overriding your salaried employees’ normal payments, paying out vacation pay, or changing the applicable period of time for which a payment is being made, you must use the Detailed Employee Timesheet (or Employee Timesheet – Second Payment screen). After entering data on an employee’s Detailed Employee Timesheet (or Employee Timesheet – Second Payment screen), that employee’s hours and earnings fields are no longer editable on the Rapid Entry screen. The fields display “Timesheet” to indicate this.

Remember: Salaried employees are paid automatically, so you don't have to complete this screen for them unless you want to pay an additional amount over their regular salary.
