Entering Employee Absence and Creating a Time Card for the Substitute

Revised:  2/2022

 

This process will allow you to enter an attendance record for an employee and assign the substitute to that employee at the same time. The system will take the substitute’s time and transfer that to the payroll area.

A payroll date must be set up in the payroll calendar before attendance can be entered. The payroll does not have to be activated. For more instructions on how to set up the payroll calendar date, see link below:
