Field

Description

Start Date

Enter the date for which you want to start the report data collection.

Start Time

By default, the system uses 12:00am for the date you entered in the previous field. Change this time, if needed.

For example, if you have no shifts beginning until 6:00am, you can enter 06:00am in this field.

End Date

By default, the system uses the date seven days from the start date.

For example, if you enter 02/26/2008 in the Start Date field, the system populates the end date with 03/03/2008.

End Time

By default, the system uses 11:59pm for the date entered in the End Date field. Change this time, if needed.

For example, if you have no shifts clocked in after 8:00pm, you can enter 08:00pm in this field.

Daily OT

Enter the number of hours equal to a full work day in order to calculate overtime.
