What are Timecards?

Timecards are records that detail each activity done by an Employee including start time, end time, duration, Job, Site, Location, pay style and rate, Production Records (if applicable), Crew, Employer, and more. Each time a worker is checked into an activity, a Timecard is created. The Timecards page in PickTrace Office displays these records in a list and a timeline view. Office users will most likely navigate to the Timecards page each morning to review and audit data from the previous day and reference incoming records in real-time each day.

How and When Timecards are Used?

Each time a worker is checked into an activity, a Timecard is created in PickTrace Office to record this work. Office users navigate to the Timecards page to review these records, determine if any corrections need to be made, and validate hours, rates, pieces, and more that are associated with the record.

The Timecard page consists of a Timecard Tab and a Timeline Tab. Both views allow office users to review and audit Timecards but display the information in a different way. You can toggle between both views in the top right corner of the page.

The following are actions that can be made from the Timecard Tab:

View one day or a date range of Timecards
Personalize columns (Sort, Rearrange, Add/Remove)
Search for Timecards by any attribute
Edit Timecards (one or many)
Duplicate Timecards
Transfer Timecards from one Employee to another
Archive Timecards
Create Timecards for an individual or multiple Employees in the same Crew
View errors such as multiple check-outs, no check-out, no pieces on a production Job, pieces in an hourly Job, and Timecards running for more than 24 hours

The following are actions that can be made from the Timeline Tab:

Edit Timecards individually (but not in bulk) by dragging check-ins and check-outs on the timeline. No edits can be made to Job, Crew, Site, Location, etc. from here
View errors such as multiple check-outs, no check-out, no pieces on a production Job, pieces in an hourly Job, and Timecards running for more than 24 hours

Good To Knows:

The drop-down options for actions to take on Timecards vary depending on if the user selects one Timecard or multiple Timecards.
- When selecting one Timecard, the options are:
  - Navigate to Employee Profile
  - Edit Timecard
  - Duplicate Timecard
  - Transfer Timecard
  - Archive Timecard
  - Add New Timecard
- When selecting multiple Timecards, the options are:
  - Edit Timecards
  - Switch Crew
  - Archive Timecards
Timecard messages appear in the upper right-hand corner as actions are taken to signal what has been created, edited, and/or processing.
Archiving a timecard will remove its contents from all reporting but will not delete the record from the system as it can be unarchived at any point.

To select multiple records, click on the timecards while holding your shift key to select a range of timecards or while holding your Ctrl key to select multiple rows.
