Auto-Populate Holiday Hours on Timesheets In OpenAir – A Script Will Do That!

Expecting employees to enter holiday hours on their timesheet is not an unusual requirement. Most organizations expect those hours to be entered and properly designated upon returning to work. While that might sound like a simple process, we’ve come to learn that it can be quite a nuisance for businesses and employees alike.

For employees, reporting holiday time is another process they have to remember. Whether it’s failing to log the time when they return to work or accidentally entering those hours as vacation time instead of holiday time, the process causes more disturbance than you might think. It sounds like a minor inconvenience. However, any slight change in day-to-day operations can result in hours spent answering questions, and for the larger the organization, spending time on corrections, rejections, or other processes to correct the time sheet entries.

How can an OpenAir script resolve this issue? One that will save time and inconvenience of correcting time sheets as well as make the staff happy this is automatically done for them.

The Challenge

“How many hours do I put on my timesheet for last Thursday’s holiday?”
“Is holiday time the same as vacation time?”

Around the holidays, many organizations spend too much time answering these types of questions or checking and correcting timesheets.

For most businesses, resolving this issue becomes a manual, time-consuming assignment. Each timesheet must be examined to ensure that employees correctly entered the allotted number of hours. While correcting a timesheet might not be overly complicated, the amount of time spent resolving issues could easily be spent on higher-level tasks that further contribute to the company’s bottom line.
