Setup Time Types

Up until now, time types were managed across clients. To enable more flexibility in different clients, they are now managed individually. They can now be linked to client groups similar to wage types in payroll setup.

 

Field name

Description / Example

Code

Code field for a time type definition like, for example, FERIEN or GLEITZEIT. Max. 10 characters are allowed.

Description

Text field for describing time types (max. 30 characters). This text appears on the payslip under monthly reporting as well as on various absence statistics.

Unit

It is possible to show time types on the payslip (monthly report) in hours or days.

 

If you leave the field empty, only the text of the ‘Description’ field will be printed on the payslip in the monthly report.

If the ‘Hours’ or ‘Days’ unit is stored, this data record will be shown in addition to the ‘Description’ text.

Actual Time

If you enable the ‘Actual time’ field, the time type is added to the actual time and displayed on the payslip.

 

NOTE:

Not all time types are fed to the Actual time. For example, Holiday entitlements or holiday corrections should not be cumulated in the Actual time. However, most time types like hours worked, overtime, accidents, illness, etc. are included into the Actual time.

Balanced

It is specified in this field what time types should be netted together.

 

The offsetting types below serve this purpose: various, holidays, overtime, arranged overtime, voluntary overtime, work-in-advance days, flexitime, hours worked, target time, actual time, night work.

 

This data can be viewed in the personnel card under ‘Statistics’. The ‘Miscellaneous’ balancing type is not shown in ‘Statistics’ because no totals are created with this balancing type.
