Recording Time

There are two ways, or sources, with which to record time using the portal: eTime Live and eTime Entry. eTime Live allows you to clock in and out in real time as you work. eTime Entry allows you to record time manually after the fact.

eTime Live is the preferred source for recording time.

As of midnight 12/6/2020 you must use eTime Live and punch in and out for each shift's start and end. eTime Entry will no longer be an option for dates 12/7 and beyond except for PTO. Learn more»
