13. Besides navigation, what are the big changes in Ready?
-
- Timesheet submission and Approval timelines- Timesheets not submitted by the employee by 9AM will auto route to the primary supervisor. Supervisors have until 10AM to approve timesheets.
- Timesheet approval requirements-Timesheets cannot be approved if there are outstanding Change Requests, Leave Requests, or missing punches.
- For those working multiple jobs– the approval will route first to the primary supervisor. The primary supervisor’s approval will route the timesheet to the second supervisor. The second supervisor’s approval will route to the third. The timesheet cannot be approved by the primary supervisor if outstanding changes or punches have not been resolved, regardless of job.
- Leave Requests- Those with a pre-populated schedule will need to adjust their timesheet for leave entries. Leave will populate the timesheet with the leave hours and will not deduct the pre-populated hours already posted on the timesheet.
- Timeclocks and lunch- The timeclocks with Ready functionality have expanded content, with the exception of lunch cancellations. To cancel lunch in Ready, the app or the computer must be used.
- 80 hour Schedule Period view- this view is not longer available within the Ready timesheet. A report has been created to accomodate the both 80 hour scheduled period and the 40 hour work week.
- New Change Request feature-allows users to electronically send timesheet edit needs to the supervisor’s To Do mailbox. Examples include adding or deleting a time punch or editing or removing posted leave. Timesheets cannot be approved if a Change Request is outstanding. For employees with multiple supervisors, the Change Request will route to all supervisors regardless of job.
