Two Reasons You Can't Edit a Time Card

Most likely, one of two situations is preventing the 'save' button from showing when you try to edit a time card:

  1. The pay period has ended, and time cards are locked or closed

  2. An 'unknown' job needs to be fixed

You Can't Edit Locked or Closed Pay Periods

Time cards in Closed Pay periods can't be edited. Don't close a pay period until you have submitted hours for payroll.

You can lock a pay period while you are working on your payroll export. This prevents other Admins from making changes. But you can unlock it if you need to make edits.

How to Fix Unknown Jobs

Occasionally, an employee needs to clock in but doesn't see their job on the app. You still want them to clock in to start their time card. In this case, they can clock into an "Unknown" job. We still get a GPS track so you can see where they are when clocking in.

But you must edit the time card to the correct job before closing payroll.
