How to Enter Hours in TOPS

1. Click "EDIT" next to the day you want to update (note that the timesheet spans from Sunday to Saturday).
2. Enter your time
   1. To enter regular time:
      1. Use the drop down menus to enter your "Start Time," the length of your unpaid "Break/Lunch" and your "End Time."
      2. Click "Record Hours."
   2. To enter overtime:
      1. Follow the same instructions as for regular time.
      2. TOPS will automatically calculate your straight overtime (SOT), premium overtime (POT) and shift differential (SDF).
   3. To enter sick or vacation time:
      1. For a whole day:
         1. Remove your lunch break
            1. Subtract the length of your "Break/Lunch" from your "End Time."
            2. Set your "Break/Lunch" to 0 min.
         2. Enter the amount of sick time in "Sick" OR enter the amount of vacation time in "VAC"
      2. For a partial day:
         1. Do not remove your lunch break.
         2. Enter the amount of sick and/or vacation time you want to apply to "Sick" and "VAC."
         • Note: Your total combined sick, vacation and regular hours cannot exceed the hours in your shift. If they do, you will see an error message and will have to change the hours.
      3. You may enter a comment in the "Comments:" box to explain your situation.
      4. Press "Record Comment" to save the comment.

         1. Interview date
         2. Job number
