Why can’t I enter the dates in my timecard?

There are a few key reasons why you might not be able to enter certain dates on your timecard:

Project Start and End dates

  • Your timecard dates must fall within your project's official start and end dates

  • If you need to enter time for dates outside of these ranges, please contact your project administrator to verify your official start/end dates

Pay week structure

Your project may have specific work week definitions that determine which dates are available for time entry. These workweeks are configured by your project administrator and may not always align with calendar weeks (Sunday-Saturday).

Timecard submission status

  • Once a timecard has been submitted and approved, those dates will be locked for editing

  • If you need to make changes to an approved timecard, contact your production administrator

Still Having Issues?

If you're unable to enter dates that you believe should be available, please:

  • Verify your project start and end dates with your production administrator

  • Ensure you're selecting the correct workweek from the dropdown menu

  • Contact your production administrator if you need dates adjusted or timecards unlocked for editing
