Enter Time for Worker Using High-Volume Time Entry

Enter Time for Worker Using High-Volume Time Entry

  • The worker you are entering time for must be assigned a:
    • Time entry template.
    • Time period.
  • Enter dates that aren't locked in the time period schedule.
  • Security:
    Worker Data: Time Tracking High Volume Enter Time
     domain in the Time Tracking functional area.
Managers can enter and edit time on a worker's behalf using high-volume time entry (HVTE). If the worker's time entry template and the
Enter Time
 business process security policy are configured for it, they can access:
  • Auto-fill from Prior Week
  • Auto-fill from Schedule
  • Quick Add
  • My Team's Time Requests
Projects and project plan tasks are not supported in HVTE.
With some configurations, workers can enter and edit their own time using HVTE with the
Enter My Time
 task. Workers can access:
  • Auto-fill from Prior Week
  • Auto-fill from Schedule
  • Quick Add
  • Time Request
  1. Access the
    Enter Time for Worker
     task.
    Workday generates time block rows based on the time entry code you select in the
    Time Type
     column of the row. For time entry codes with an in/out time entry method, Workday bases the default in/out patterns on the worker's time entry template.
  2. Complete the task:
    Option Description
    Time Type
    You can select a time entry code or an absence type. Workday bases the available time entry codes on the worker's eligibility for time code groups.
    Out Reason
    Workday bases the available out reasons on the configuration of the worker's time entry template.
    Worktags
    Workday bases the available worktags on the configuration of the worker's time entry template.
Submit the time using 1 of these tasks:
  • Submit My Time
     for workers.
  • Submit Time for Worker
     for managers.
