DETAIL ENTRY:

While the Quick Entry screen is designed to do less complex reporting of hours, the Detail Entry screen will allow you to accomplish the more demanding time entries. From this screen you will be able to key Special time entries and do adjustments to previous pay periods, as well as override certain pay block fields. All employees selected from the Employee List are set in queue ready for you to enter time for them individually. You have the choice of entering time in the Reporting Lines window or in the Override area of the Detail Entry screen.



When you are finished entering time click on the  Update button. This will allow you to save the data and move to the next employee.



You can scroll between employees by clicking on either the Prev button or Next button.



You can also Copy pay lines, which is very useful, if you need to key an adjustment for a prior pay period. It is also beneficial, if you need to enter time for more than one "Other Hours Code". If you would like to remove a pay reporting line, just click on the Remove button.



Clicking on the Spcl button, will allow you to create a Special time entry. This is provided you have authorized access to the employee's record.



Another unique feature is the Empl button. Clicking on this button will show you the Employee Distributions screen, which contains the employee's Payroll Personnel System (PPS) pay distribution data. If there is any new data since you last entered the Online Timekeeping system, you can highlight the new distribution line and transfer it. You will now be able to enter time against the new pay reporting line created by transferring the changed PPS data. There is even a flag on the Detail Entry screen to notify you of any PPS changes to the employee's record. It is located between the "Total Percent" field and the "Quick Entry" button at the header of the screen. It is display with red color as Chged.
