Supervisor or TLA: update timecards to correctly reflect each shift worked at the correct step level Example: Joe receives a 9/1 step increase to step 15, with upload completed on 9/6/12. Joe enters punches into his timecard daily For 9/1 through 9/5, his timecard Step field will default at Step 14 Starting on 9/6, it will default at Step 15 The supervisor or TLA will need to manually change the 14s to 15s in order for appropriate pay rate to be received for shifts worked from 9/1 – 9/5 How Data Drives Benefits HELP US ENHANCE THE EMPLOYEE’S BENEFITS EXPERIENCE! 9 Focus on Data 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
