Timecard Exception Indicators

Icons are used as indicators within the timecard to call attention to these exceptions:

The cell is solid red when there is a missed in or out punch

When the system generates an exception, the icon is red with a white line near the top. Depending on your configuration, the system might automatically add an auto-resolved paycode to the timecard if an exception occurs because of missing time, such as a late punch or absence

When a manager marks an exception as reviewed or justifies a missing time exception, the icon color changes to green

If an absence has been excused, icon is blue with three horizontal lines

When an exception or punch is system-generated, the icon is purple with one diagonal line and the punch displays in purple
