Can view my timesheet |
If not checked, the "My Timesheet" tab will not be shown, even if the employee has a timesheet template in their employee profile. This permission is useful for simplifying the user interface for employees who meet all of the following criteria:
|
||||||||||||||
Can undo submit of my timesheet |
This applies to timesheet objects only, and determines whether an employee can unsubmit (unlock) their timesheet. Note that once a timesheet has been approved the employee will not be able to unsubmit it, regardless of this permission. |
||||||||||||||
Can edit my punches |
This applies to timesheets only, and determines whether an employee can edit work time entries on their timesheet. If this permission is not enabled then:
Employees will still be able to change the project or pay code, enter notes, etc. of work rows. Also, this permission does not affect leave rows - employees will be able to add leave rows to their timesheet. |
||||||||||||||
Can copy my previous timesheet hours |
This permission determines whether employees can have timesheet memory carry forward hours from the previous timesheet (this is set from the Home > Preferences page). This permission also determines whether the employee sees a "Copy Previous Timesheet" option on their timesheet. If this permission is off then the employee can only carry forward or copy rows from the previous timesheet. Note that if you turn this permission off, but an employee has already set their timesheet memory to carry forward rows and hours, you will need to also change their timesheet memory setting from Employees page. |
||||||||||||||
Can punch from time clock device only |
Turning this permission on will allow an employee to only punch in/out from a time clock device, ensuring their physical presence. The employee will not be able to punch in/out from a web browser. The employee will still be able to add leave to their timesheet using a web browser, however. |
