PayTime tm                             JOB COSTING

This Module is an optional add-on program for Paytime.

The Job Costing Module of PAYTIME allows you to enter hours worked by employees against a cost center/job number.  You can enter as many entries in a day as you can possibly hold on your hard disk.

When all the hours have been entered for an employee, group of employees or cost center you can extract the various reports that are available to the system.

Once all the reports have been printed and it is time to pay the employees, you will transfer the pay period hours to the regular PAYTIME system and print the pay slips/cheques for whichever employees you select.

You may enter the hourly information by the day, week or pay period.  You do not have to transfer the pay period information in order to enter the next pay period information.

First enter the first day of the period you are entering the hours for, then the last day of the period.  If you are entering the hours for only one day for all employees enter the first day and last day as the same date.  This feature helps you to control data integrity.

The dates are limited by the span of the pay period you choose. This does not stop you from entering data for more than one pay period if you exit back to the Job Costing menu, and come back into the Entry of Job Hours.

After the dates are entered correctly, the following screen appears:

EMPLOYEE NUMBER

Enter the Employee Number you wish to enter.  If the number is not known enter a <?> and press <Enter> and a list of employee numbers will appear.  The selected employee's name will appear on the screen.  If correct, proceed with the entry, or enter a BLANK to enter another employee number.  NOTE:  If you wish to abort the entry at the Employee No. field, enter a blank employee's number and you will be asked if you wish to return to the menu.
 

DEPARTMENT NUMBER

This is either a numeric or character field.  Enter the department the employee normally works in for the entry period. If a character already appears in the field, this is the employee's normal department.  If correct just press <ENTER>.  If not correct change it to the selected department.  The computer will continue to the Pay Code field.
 

PAY CODE

Enter any one of the following pay codes at this point, or any one of the following commands that appear on the bottom of the screen:
(N)ext day, (A)nother Employee, (B)rowse, next (W)eek or (E)nd entries.: : 

(N)ext day

If you wish to advance the date to the next day press <N>.  If you are at the last day the computer will display the message:
Next day is beyond the pay period Next (W)eek 
If you wish to advance to the final day of the next week just press <W>. If you are in the last week of the pay period the computer will display the following message:
 (C)orrect, (N)ext day or (W)eek, (A)nother employee,'^' Dept, (B)rowse, (E)nd

(A)nother employee

If you have finished entering the hours for the current employee press <A> and the computer will allow you to enter a new employee number.  Be careful when entering the employee number, because there is no check made by the computer to see if you have already entered the employee into the system (If you are in doubt use the (B)rowse command to look at the records you have already entered).

(C)orrect

This will allow you to correct the line just entered, but not any of the lines above it.  The computer will allow you to enter two corrections in a row but this only corrects the last record entered.  If you wish to correct a previous entry use the Browse feature described below.

(B)rowse

This feature allows you to go into the records you have entered and make any changes to the file you need to.  Two things to be aware of are that the daily and period accumulations that appear on the screen will not be adjusted if you make a change to the hours entered, and that care should be taken not to change the employee number or dates for the pay period;  although there is a check made by the computer to re-validate the employee number when you transfer the data to PAYTIME, a report will be produced by the computer as to any invalid entries, and the transfer will be aborted until the offending records are corrected.  If you wish to obtain some help press the <F1> function key for the help screen.  Press <F1> again will turn the help screen off, allowing you to see more records at once (see Appendix "A" for more information on using the Browse command).

(R)egular Pay

This will assign the employee's regular rate of pay to the Cost Center involved and to the subject employee's pay slip/cheque.

(O)vertime Pay

This will assign the employee's regular rate of pay times 1.5.

(D)ouble Time

This will assign the employee's regular rate of pay times 2.0.

(S)ick Pay

This will assign the employee's regular rate of pay.

Statutory (H)oliday Pay

This will assign the employee's regular rate of pay.

(V)acation Pay

This will assign the employee's regular rate of pay.

(C)ommission

The computer will ask for the amount of commission being paid for this entry.  It will assign no hours to the entry.  If the employee is also being paid for hours another entry will have to be made for this.  If the employee is being paid only on a commission basis, enter the employee's type of pay as being (C)ommission under the Employee Information entry (Screen #2). For commission sales persons the U.I. calculations are made according to the rules for commission sales persons.

(F) Shift Differential

This is a toggle switch within the software and will remain on until turned off.  Just press <F> to toggle the switch on or off.  If the shift differential is on the shift differential rate will appear on the screen beside this option code and will disappear when turned off.

(P) Option Rate

By pressing <P> the computer will then prompt for one of the Optional Pay Rates that you have installed to the system.  Just press the letter of the rate that you wish for this particular entry.

(M) ?Rate

This will allow you to enter any hourly rate of pay you wish for the cost center and employee for this entry.  The computer will then ask you for the hourly rate of pay.

EXIT:

Enter a blank employee's number or press <E> if you have made entries to return to the Job Costing Menu.

NOTE:

As of January 1, 1997, we added new fields to the PAY RATES (PRRATES.dbf) file, to accommodated the the ability to add Employee or Position pay increases part way in a Pay Period. This will handle both Union and Non Union employees if you are using the Job Costing to enter their hours worked.

If you are using the PRRATES.dbf in your custom software, please make any changes. On Jan 1/97 we will be replacing the use of the field RATE with ROP. We have replaced the use of the PRRATES.NDX with PRRATES.MDX with the following indexes:

           EMP_ID+dtos(EDATE) tag EMPEDATE
           CDE+dtos(EDATE)    tag CDEEDATE

Delete the PRRATES.NDX when you have made your changes.

¦   run 'RE-INSTALL Pay Rates' option on the JOB COSTING MENU.                 ¦
¦                                                                              ¦
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
STANDARD PAY RATES
You are allowed to enter as many Standard Pay Rates as you wish into the system; just follow the instructions as shown above.  These rates will be used when an employee works a job at a different rate than his normal pay rate. For example, if an employee normally works as a truck driver but has to take over for the crane operator for his lunch hour, and the truck driver will receive the crane operator's rate for that time, you will use that selected rate for that period of time.

SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL
You can also enter two Shift Differential Rates into the system, either as a Flat rate or a Percentage. The flat rate will be added to the Employee's Standard rate of pay after Overtime factors are calculated, the percentage will be calculated on gross pay rate. These rates will be given to employees in addition to their normal rate when invoked on the Job Entry screen. The following is a example of the Flat rate calculation:

e.g.:
        Employee normal rate:       $10.00  per hour
        Overtime bonus @ 50%          5.00
                                    ------
                                    $15.00
        Shift differential @ 50c       .50
                                    ------
                                    $15.50  per hour
                                    ------ 
SKILL RATE
Employees are allowed to be given an additional bonus for special skills.  For example, an employee may be entitled to a $0.50 per hour skill rate if they have a First Aid ticket.  To enter this rate to the system go to the employee's database and enter the skill rate under the second screen of the Employee Information. The skill rate effectively increases the employee's rate of pay, and all overtime bonuses are calculated on their regular rate plus the skill rate.

e.g.:
         Regular rate          $10.00 per hour
         Skill rate               .50
                               ------
                                10.50
         Overtime bonus          5.25
                               ------ 
                               $15.75 per hour
                               ------ 
 

EXIT:

Once you have entered the Rates the computer will return to the Job Costing Menu or the ENTER Job Hours screen.
