GLOSSARY

A glossary of general terminology related to the Knight Vision program. Use the navigation menu in the sidebar to access additional application terms related to the Workday ERP Implementation.

Workday Time Tracking Terms

Absence (Time Off)

Formally known as Leave. Workday term that refers to all time off or leave of absence (e.g. sick leave, annual leave, jury duty, administrative leave, bereavement, etc.).

Time Blocks

Carries information about a portion of time, such as the number of hours worked or in/out times.

Unmatched Clock Events

When an employee clocks in, it creates an unmatched clock event. Once the employee checks out, Workday will match the check in and check out event to create a time block.

Timekeeper

A Timekeeper assists the supervisor/manager with auditing the worker’s timesheet for accuracy and makes sure time is submitted and approved by deadlines.

The timekeeper role allows for a supervisor/manager to mass approve the time. The supervisor/manager can leverage the Timekeeper to make sure time is ready for their approval without the supervisor/manager getting involved with making corrections etc.

They can edit a worker’s timesheet if necessary to:

  • add missed punches,
  • make corrections,
  • submit time
  • and request time off on behalf of a worker

Timekeepers can also run reports to view (just to name a few):

  • team schedules,
  • time clock history,
  • time block audit
  • and time off summary

They will also have access to the Time and Absence Dashboard which will allow them to see who:

  • has checked in today,
  • has unmatched events,
  • has not submitted time,
  • has a timesheet that is not approved
  • and/or has not entered any time
