How to configure the locking of timesheets with a delay, allowing you to stop changes from being made once the timesheet is older than the desired period.
Configuring Period Lock
- Navigate to the 'Settings' page.
- Select 'time' in the subsection menu.
- Locate 'Period Lock' and toggle this on.
- Select the 'Locking Frequency', this determines how often a period will lock.
- Set the 'Locking Date & Time' The date will lock backwards based on the frequency, and the time sets when during each day the locking should take place.
Example Configuration
Weekly locking at 12:00pm, 1 week behind payroll.
If the end date of our pay period was on a monday (weekly payroll), we might match the payroll by doing 'Weekly' Locking Frequency. We would then set the 'Locking Date & Time' to one week behind today's date.
Result: On the 4/3rd (Monday 1 Week Later) the previous week locks.
