Overview

 

Timesheet Groups provide a mechanism for the preparation of time sheet coverage periods. Time sheet coverage periods refer to the starting and ending dates for a time sheet. InFocus allows for multiple time sheet periods. For instance, one group of employees can put in weekly time sheets while another group puts in biweekly time sheets. It’s also possible to have multiple groups putting in weekly time sheets, with each starting on a different day of the week. Weekly, biweekly, and semi-monthly are supported. Any coverage period can be chosen, regardless of the payroll cycle. The support for different cycles allows them to co-exist with already established procedures in the firm. A weekly coverage period is probably the best choice for most companies and is recommended by Clearview.

 

**Once you establish a time sheet group or groups you then assign employees to them.**

 

Each coverage period, a utility is run to initialize the coming period. This utility can override the group settings to allow for daily submissions is desired. It is, however, usually unnecessary, as even non-submitted time can be included in project management reports.

To access Timesheet Groups, on the toolbar click Tools>Timesheet Groups. When you get the pop-up, you are able to Add, Edit and Delete Timesheet Groups.
