In certain circumstances it is possible for an employee to have a time entry and a day off entry on the same day. For example, say a salaried employee that is setup to auto-clock in/out has a time entry on 9/2/11. If the employee happened to be sick on that day, he/she will likely not enter in the day off request (sick) until a day or two later. When the manager goes to approve that day, there is a possibility of double time entry because the employee was auto-clocked in on 9/2. In that case, the manager would likely want to get rid of the time entry and have only the day off request entered.
There's another possibility where an employee worked a half day and then went home sick. In the event that the employee was not able to enter the day off request on the same day, he/she will enter it one or two days later, thus creating the possibility of a double entry. In this case, however, the double entry will almost always be allowed, as the employee will likely only be requesting a half sick day, instead of a whole day.
To accommodate these scenarios, we've created a failsafe whereby the manager is presented with three options upon attempting to approve a day off request where a time entry already exists:
As you can see the manager is presented with the option of:
- Approving the day and keeping the existing time entry
- Approving the day and deleting the existing time entry
- Canceling (go back to View All Entries screen)
