Note:  The overtime is calculated only on the total hours beyond the 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week for those entries with the Subject to Overtime field selected.

Note:  The format only applies to how the time for the entries display after being entered and does not define the format in which the entries must be made.  For example, entries can be made using the format of military time with the Time Display field set to either Regular or Military; the field just defines how the time will display for the entries after advancing from the field.

Note:  The colon does not have to be entered between the hour and the minutes; for example, enter 8 o’clock as 800 or 0800; however, if using decimal time, the decimal point must be entered.
