There are two sets of ExakTime Connect settings: Company Settings and "My Settings".
- Company Settings affect your entire company account and are used to define your pay period, work week, etc., and enable options for your company such as expense tracking and time card approvals. The company settings are generally configured by the primary administrator or decision-maker.
- "My Settings" only affect the user and determine preferential items such as hour formats, distance formats, and first/last name order.
