Submitting a Time Entry Request Using Clock In/Clock Out

The Clock In/Clock Out link will display in the Navigation Menu if implemented by your organization. You can use the Clock In/Clock Out link to quickly create a time entry request if your Alio employee record is assigned a primary Time Reporting Group (TRG) with the Time Reporting Option set to Time.  

When you click the Clock In/Clock Out link, if your Alio employee record is assigned a TRG with the Time Reporting Option set to Hourly, the List of Jobs displays in Red text along with the following message: "Time cannot be entered because job is linked to an hourly time reporting group."

After creating the time entry request, you can modify the request using the Payroll > Request Time Entry Changes link. In the Request History grid, click the Request Date to display the time entry request details. Refer to the Modifying Time Records topic for more information.

You must go to the Request Time Entry page to submit the time entry request for approval.

When an earn code override is required, an employee must edit their time record to link each time record to an earn code override prior to submitting the request.
