If you have permission to edit signed-off timecards when the timecard is not in an editable state, the Enable Edits option appears in your action bar. You can click Enable Edits and make a group edit Changes made to more than one employee record at a time, for example, add or delete a paycode or punch to a group of timecards. for the selected employees.

Note that selecting Enable Edits does not control the ability to make historical corrections Edits that occur after timecards are approved and signed-off.. Only function access profiles, system settings, and pay rules determine if and how you can make historical corrections.

To help explain the Enable Edits functionality, consider the following:

After a pay period is signed off, your employees' time is submitted to payroll. Before the pay period is signed off, you may be able to remove signoff, make a correction, and then sign off the timecard again. After the pay period is signed off, you cannot make changes. Timecard editing is disabled automatically and must be re-enabled after the payroll process is completed. Depending on how your system is managed and configured, editing can be re-enabled by any of the following methods:

  • As the last step in the payroll process (using an API in the payroll interface). This is the recommended method.
  • A certain number of hours after the end of the pay period.
  • Manually from Enable Edits on the Timecard Summary page.
