Time reports summarize hours from time cards and time sheets, showing where and how the staff spent their time.
They can be used to analyze time by job, client,
staffer, or task. Time can be summarized for any range of dates
(e.g., this week, last month, year-to-date, etc.) by work date
or date posted, for one period or all periods, and for one staffer
or all staff members. These options let you find the time for
a specific person, for example, to check their total hours.
Time entries are selected by work date or date posted using the pop-up
menu. You can also print time for only one accounting period by using
the period pop-up menu. This option lets you show only time added in
July, for example, in addition to the work dates.
The "Department Time Analysis by Task" groups time by department then task. The "Department Time Analysis by Job" groups time by department then by job. The "Payroll Time Analysis" summarizes staff hours for any task categorized in the Task Table as a "payroll" task. The "Profit Center Time Analysis" shows total staff hours for each of the profit centers they worked on, subtotaled by job task. The "Labor Transfer" summarizes staff hours for each profit center someone worked on outside the PC they are assigned to.
Tips for printing time reports
By entering a range of dates, you can select all time added today, last week, or all month -- whatever time period you need. Theres no limit to which range of dates you can use. n The summary reports are different because time list reports show day-to-day time in detail, while the summary reports show totals only.
So the time summary reports are much smaller (and probably easier to read) than the time list reports. But if you need the most detail, print time list reports instead.
You can print time reports to the window (for a quick on-screen preview), the printer (for a hard copy), or to disk (to create a text file that can be opened and edited in a spreadsheet).
To show the time entry notes, click on the show notes option. This option makes your time reports longer, but more descriptive.
Staff members with only access to daily or weekly time cards can now print their own time reports.

To show the time entry notes, click on the show notes option. To hide the rates on the time reports, click on the show hours only option.
