Track Time on a Clock and Assign Timesheet

Track Time on a Clock and Assign Timesheet

The Clock and Assign timesheet type enables users to capture exact time punches and pair the time punches and allocations at the point of time entry. Contractors can also enter time across work-week boundaries with or without being aware of the exact work-week start and end times. Example: A contractor clocks in at 10pm on a Sunday evening and works until 4am on Monday morning; the hours are allotted to the appropriate work weeks automatically.
The clock and assign timesheet gives the ability to view all time punches at-a-glance over the entire workweek. Each time punch displays on the timesheet as a block on the appropriate work day and time.
