All security roles allow labor timecard entry in the Time & Expense feature for projects. Only Administrators and Financial Administrators can approve labor timecards in the Time & Expenses module. If the Time & Expense workflow is enabled (requires five or more licenses), users can approve time for their subordinates.
Clock In/Out functionality is turned off by default but can be enabled in Settings (gear icon) > Feature Settings > Time and Expenses
Project Financial Analytics > Transaction categorizations: More info
When labor timecards are exported to an accounting system, they can be locked automatically to prevent further changes or deletions

Labor code > Project > Payroll item.
If a labor or craft code is specified on the timecard record, the system looks up the payroll rate table within the Labor item details form to set the cost and bill rates. The project and payroll item referenced on the timecard are used as filter criteria.
Employee > Project > Payroll item.
If no labor code is specified, the system reviews the project-specific rates table in the Employee details form to determine whether special cost and bill rates exist for the employee and project.
Employee > Payroll item.
If none of the previous conditions are met, the system uses the standard payroll rates table in the Employee details form to determine the cost and bill rates.
