Pay Types Configuration

Pay Types

Pay types configuration is where you setup the pay types and create the associations with your payroll or HR system pay codes.

Main

Pay Type ID – the unique identifier for this pay type. This may be the same that is used in your payroll system.

Description – a longer text based description of the pay type.

Default Pay Type – if no pay type is specified, then this pay type is assumed to be the one to use.

Pay Type Sort Order – the order this pay type appears on screen and in reports.

Adds To Totals – this pay type's hours will be accumulated into any totals.

Schedule Auto Punch – if a pay type is specified as a Schedule Auto Punch type, then any schedule that uses this pay type will generate an In and Out punch using the schedule start and end times.

Overtime

Allocation Order – the order in which pay types become daily, period or consecutive overtime. Pay types with lower allocation order become overtime before those with higher allocation. Pay types with an allocation order of 9 will count towards overtime, but will never become overtime.

Count Towards – if certain types of hours (punches, other hours worked, other hours unworked, and premium hours) can contribute towards the calculation of overtime (daily, period or consecutive), then select the correct combination of hours type and overtime.

Premium

Allocate to Premium – if hours are needed to move to premium, then they will be taken from pay types that have this setting. Allocation Order - see above.

Punches Count Towards Premium – punches that calculate hours with this pay type will be considered for premium calculation.

Other Hours Count Towards Premium – other hours added using this pay type will be considered for premium calculation.

Premium Counts Towards Premium – calculated premium hours of this pay type will be considered for further premium calculation.

Pay Type Lookup

Pay Type 1 thru 10 – the pay type to use for calculations can be based upon the initial pay type being used for calculation. For example, when calculating a differential, the differential rule can delegate the pay type to use for the premium to one of the pay types listed here.

Move Hours 1 thru 10 – the hours calculated using the pay type can be moved or added (if not checked).

Accruals

Attendance Calendar

Display In Attendance Calendar – this allows this type to appear in the Attendance Calendar report.

Attendance Calendar ID – the text that will appear in the Attendance Calendar report. Keep this as short as possible.

Rates and Payroll

Rate Multiplier – the multiplier used when calculating hours X rate.

Fixed Rate – allows the same rate to be used for all employees for this pay type.

Payroll Pay Code – the code as used in your payroll system. This is required if you are using a payroll interface.

Payroll Sort Order – when the payroll code is displayed in the software, it will be displayed in this order.

Add To Totals – this pay type's hours will be accumulated into any payroll based totals.
