Time Card Comments for the Record

Several years ago we had the idea to add comments to each time card.

Written comments that could be easily read, saved, and printed on each time card.

At the time, the closest thing other systems offered was some kind of "note" function. But the limitation was you could only read the note by clicking to see what the note was, or hovering over a link.

So, our idea was to make the entire comment visible along with a timestamp.

Since then, customers have confirmed they are very helpful, as they are used ever single day by most of our customers.

Why put comments on time cards?

If you know anything about time cards or timesheets, there is always something.

Somebody had to come it late, somebody couldn't clock in for some reason, somebody had a question on their hours, or somebody wanted time off.

Comments are a way to make these events and questions a permanent record.

That way, if you look back at your time card history, comments will help explain what happened.

How to add comments to a time card

Comments can be added by anyone who has access to the time card including an administrator, manager, and of course the employee.

Each time card has a button on the bottom right named Comment. If you click the button, a form will appear that allows you to type what you need.

Once you do, the comment will appear on the bottom left of your time card along with your name, date, and time.

Comments cannot be edited, but they can be deleted. So you can rewrite a comment if you need to.

Comments on the dashboard

As a bonus, each comment entered by an employee will appear on your dashboard, and each will hang around for 7 days.

This gives you, as an administrator, a heads up when someone enters a comment, letting you know right away if something requires your action.

Conclusion

Our comment feature has become a valuable tool for a lot of companies.
