You can add or modify the time records prior to submitting a time entry request for approval. You can also copy a daily time record to duplicate that record to one or more dates on the time entry request, if your organization has implemented this option.
If you are assigned to a primary Time Reporting Group (TRG) with the Time Reporting Option set to Hours Only, you will enter time worked in hourly increments. Click here for an illustration of the Add Time page used to enter worked hours.
You may enter time in the following formats: HH:MM or HH.XX. Here is an example of each format:
HH:MM, where HH represents the Hours and MM represents the minutes, e.g., 8:25 = 8 hours and 25 minutes
HH.XX, where the HH represents the Hours and .XX represents a numeric value used to calculate the minutes, e.g., 8.25 = 8 hours and 15 minutes or 8:15
If you are assigned to a primary Time Reporting Group (TRG) with the Time Reporting Option set to Time, you will enter the Time In and Time Out fields to calculate the hours worked. Click here for an illustration of the Add Time page used to enter Time In and Time Out. Your organization may use this option if it requires you to enter breaks (e.g. lunch breaks) as part of the time reporting process.
You may enter Time In/Time Out values in the following formats:
H (am is presumed)
Ha
Ham
Hp
Hpm
HH:MM (am is presumed)
HH:MMa
HH:MMam
HH:MMp
HH:MMpm
The following fields may display based on the setup of Alio program HTTMR01A.FMX – Time Reporting Groups:
Project field if the Use Project Code check box is selected for the TRG assigned to this employee
