Locking and securing your employee's time entries prevents edits from occurring after a file is sent to HR for payroll processing. A Manager or Owner-level can enable the locked entry settings for their company in a few simple steps. If the locking needs to be disabled, a Manager or Owner-level can unlock entries for editing. Additionally, an audit history will show the most recent changes to the time card settings.
Enabling Locked Entries
Log into T3 Time Cards web app.
Open the Settings page from the left menu.
Note: This page has access-only permissions. If you don't see the Settings page and need access, contact your Administrator.
Ensure your company's payroll period exists.
From the Locked Entry option, toggle Locked Entries are On.
Designate how many days after a pay period should the entries lock.
7. Indicate the time for which the entries should begin locking.
8. Select the Save Settings button. The system will display a summary confirming your changes.
8. Select the Change settings button.
Once the entries are locked, you'll see a locked icon indicating no edits can be made for previous pay periods. These changes will be applicable in time tracking throughout T3, which includes Work Order time tracking, E-Logs time tracking, and time tracking in the Link mobile app.
Note: Drivers may still edit their recorded e-logs, but if it's during a locked pay period, the changes will not reflect in the employee's time sheet.
Disabling Locked Entries
If you need to make edits to a locked pay period, you can unlock the entries in a few simple steps. Remember that this is a company setting and will unlock entries for the entire company.

Open the Settings page from the left menu.
Note: This page has access-only permissions. If you don't see the Settings page, and need access, reach out to your Administrator.
From the Locked Entry option, toggle Locked Entries are OFF.
