Time Groups Form

Use this form to set up time groups and assign employees to the groups.

Time groups allow you to organize employees by groups for timesheet entry, editing, submitting, approval, and posting purposes. For example, you can establish groups for the employees who share the same job function, work in the same department, or work in the same office. Time groups allow you to distribute timesheet administration responsibilities by time group and define timesheet categories.

Time groups are optional.

Time groups allow you to do the following:

• Distribute timesheet administration responsibilities for groups of employees among different administrators.

  For example, you can establish time groups for the employees who share the same job function, work in the same department, or work in the same office.

  You set up time groups on the Time Groups form. You can assign employees to the time groups if the employees are already set up in the Employees hub. Alternatively, after you set up time groups on the Time Groups form, you can assign time groups to an employee on the Time & Expense tab in the Employees hub and give group-level administrative rights to certain employees that allow them to perform the administrative tasks for time groups, such as edit, submit, and post timesheets for a time group.

• Set up time categories for each time group, instead of having one set of time categories that applies for all employees.

  Time categories define the projects that employees charge time to regularly, such as vacation, holidays, and training.
