| TIME AND LEAVE DATA ENTRY The time entry default is “not to pay.” Agencies must specify that an employee’s timesheet is “OK to Process,” or a paycheck will not be generated for the employee. Agencies can “OK to Process” all timesheets associated with a department or by individual employee. Time and leave can be reported by employee or by department. Time and leave information is captured at a daily level. Although it is not required that agencies enter time and leave information on a daily basis, entering time and leave information throughout the pay period may reduce the work effort required during cut-off. Pay periods begin on Sunday and end on Saturday. On-line users can enter time and leave throughout the period. No entries or updates can be made after the final pay calculation (usually the first Friday following the end of the pay period). Any changes that need to be made after Final Pay Calculation executes must be done through the adjustment process. Edit programs run each night during cut-off to assist users in error detection. Results of these programs are found on the Interface Errors Messages or the Time Entry Errors Messages page. Errors can be corrected prior to the pay check creation; reducing the number of adjustments. If the time keeper has access to the Maintain Payroll Data U.S. window, results of the preliminary pay calculation may be viewed on-line on the Paycheck Earnings page. To access this page, select menu items in the following order: Home>Payroll for North America>Payroll Processing USA>Produce Payroll>Review Paycheck. This is covered in the Payroll CBT.
