About UsRecording Sick and Vacation Time in Time and Attendance Plus
Previous tutorials taught you about Sick Time Accruals and Vacation Accruals. Now that you know how to setup Time and Attendance Plus to accrue sick and vacation time you will need to know how to actually record them. This tutorial will take you through this process.
The Edit Employee Times Screen
Firstly let's log into Time and Attendance Plus and go to the Tools & Options->Edit Employee Times screen.
The Edit Employee Times screen displays a list of employees on the left, and the recorded times of the selected employee on the right. You can learn more about using this screen by taking a look at the Edit Times help topic.
Adding a Time
The first step in recording sick or vacation time is actually adding a time. To do so select the employee you want to add a time for then click the 
button to add a new punch in and punch out time for that employee. You will then see the Add Time screen.
Looking at the Add Time screen you can see a start date and time and an end date and time for the punch in and out times. There is also a drop down box you can use to select the Classification of the times you are adding. When an employee is setup correctly to accrue sick time or vacation time then you will see Sick Time and Vacation Time displayed in the classification list. If they are not displayed then either the employee is not setup to accrue them, or the employment type of the selected employee is not.
Understanding how this screen works allows us to add some sick time for the selected employee. We'll make use of the note field to remind ourselves of why this time was added.
When all of the details are entered properly we can now click the Save Time button to add the time. When returned to the Edit Employee Times screen we can see the new time added at the bottom of the listing.
Conclusions
You now know how to setup employees to accrue sick and vacation time, and then to record this time as employees take it. The next step is reporting on sick or vacation time taken and what is still owing.
