Cause
There are two possible cause for this issue,
1. User has delimited the validity of the time times in Time Types fine tuning activity
2. Country is not scoped therefore time type is not valid for the employee. Example: The employee was migrated through Migration Tool but the hire country of the employee is not scoped in the system.
Check the Hiring country of the Employee and verify whether that country is scoped in the system
Resolution
Solution for above causes,
1. Extend the validity of the Time Types
2. Scope the required country for the employee which enables the Time Type and the employee can do the time recording.
