The Hours bands panel is accessed from the Edit button or by clicking on the day of your Work record in your Clock card.

The information displayed includes:

• Start and End time — of the Hours band. These may correspond to the Clockings you made during the day
  

• Hours code — typically a TMS Absence or Worked hours code and description for the Hours band. . These are shown in a colour-coded tag.
  
  Note: depending on the features which have been enabled for you, you may see other TMS codes for e.g. breaks or Premiums
  

• Hours value — the duration of the period of work or absence
  

• TAS — any TAS category values for Clockings you made at the start and/or end of the period of work or absence. These are shown in colour-coded tags. For example,  Department: Office
