Employee Attendance Posting

This program allows the user to post employee attendance and substitutes.

Action Button Permissions

• If the District Coordinator needs to control District Default settings, in User Management, the user needs RW permissions for the category of Staff. Next, in Staff, a RW Program permission is to be assigned for Post Transactions. Finally, for Set District Defaults choose Insert/Update/Delete.
• After security is set, click Action, then District Defaults to set items such as Payroll Vendor, default attendance codes, hour/week limitations, ignoring staff hour limitations and setting pay periods.

Hrs/Week Sub Limit - Exclude any substitutes from the pick list that has worked more than the designated number of hours.

Ignore Staff - Ignore the hour limits set in the 'Hours/Week Sub List' for the substitute(s) chosen.

• If there is a need for a security action that will allow the the District Coordinator to delete from a closed pay period, in User Management, the user needs RW permissions for the category of Staff. Next, in Staff, a RW Program permission is to be assigned for Post Transactions. Finally, an Action permission of Delete from Closed Pay Period.
• But if the user does not have this permission and the pay period is currently still open (meaning there is no close date or future close date in District Defaults), then the user would be able to delete from a pay period.
