Pay Period: None

pat · Post by **pat** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 8:56 am

Hi, I have setup a semi-monthly pay period, but seems that the current Pay Period is not available because I can see "Pay Period: None".

My schedule task are running every minutes and has been running for the past 48 hours. I know they are running ok because the Red message saying that they were not running is not there anymore.

So what do I have to do to have my Pay Period created for each pay period?

Have you modified your pay period schedule after you initially created it? Specially the Daily Start Time?

If you go to Admin -> Payroll -> Pay Period Schedules and click "View" beside your pay period schedule, can you post all the pay periods listed there? A screenshot would be ideal, but just copying and pasting the text will do.

Yes I have changed my Daily start time to be 6:00 AM, because I have employee working from 7:00PM to 2:00 AM...

I will provide a screen shot.
From what I remember, I could see:
2007-07-16 through 2007-07-31 This one is the current I can see it but I can't click on View or Edit because they don't appear at the end of the line.
2007-07-01 through 2007-07-16 I have close this period
2007-06-16 through 2007-07-01 I have close this period
2007-06-01 through 2007-06-16 I have close this period

Okay, changing the daily start time could be what caused this. You should not use 6AM as the daily start time, only midnight (00:00). This has nothing to do with when employees start, but when your pay period starts.

By setting the pay period to start at 6AM, if an employee comes in before then their entire day could be in the previous pay period.

Unless you are a 24hr operation with specific needs, daily start time should stay at midnight.

You can try setting it back to midnight, then running the maint/AddPayPeriod.php script manually, or waiting until midnight for it to automatically run.

If the above doesn't work, you will probably need to create a whole new pay period schedule, see this post for that procedure:

Thanks I followed your instruction and it seems to have fixed everything.
Though I had to recreate a new pay period.

Thanks again

Is the next pay period added if you run:

php maint/AddPayPeriod.php

manually from the TimeTrex directory?

Whats the output of running that script?

What version of TimeTrex are you running?

Sorry I had re done my Pay Period Schedule.

v2.0.3 has been out for a while now, and yes, it is easy to upgrade.

How can I know which version I have?
Because when I look in the About it says:
Version: 2.0.1
But I did install version 2.0.3 is it showing like this for you guys also?

Post by **shaunw** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 9:16 am

Did you run the installer again as per the upgrade instructions in the README.txt file?

Correct, I believe it is 48hrs before the end of the current pay period TimeTrex will attempt to create the next one for you.

pat · Post by **pat** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:33 pm

After all I have to redo my pay period again..
Something must be wrong with something.

Post by **shaunw** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 9:44 am

If you keep re-creating your pay period schedule you will just prolong the issue. You need to figure out whats causing the problem in the first place.

If you've already re-created it, this won't help at all. But next time the pay period is not automatically created for you, try running:

php maint/AddPayPeriod.php

Then post the debug output here.

Ok I didn't recreated them yet.
I will try to run it manually

pat · Post by **pat** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 6:59 pm

OK I have run the C:\xampp\php\php-win.exe C:\xampp\htdocs\TimeTrex\maint\AddPayPeriod.php and it worked.
My pay period is created now..

Maybe something is wrong with my schedule' I'll take a look and make sure is ok..

Post by **shaunw** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 9:01 pm

Yes, check to make sure it is being run every minute. Also check under Help -> About to see when the last time the scheduled tasks ran, as well in your TimeTrex log directory, there should be a file called:

timetrex_cron_last_executed.log

That has the date when the last time the maintenance jobs ran.

Everything looks normal,
The log indicates that it has ran the last minute and the shedule indicates the same thing.
The schedule says:
Every 1 minutes from 11:11 PM for 1439 minutes every day, starting 07/11/2007 and ending 01/19/2011

Try running this SQL command from your TimeTrex database and pasting the output here:

select status_id,name,command,last_run_date from cron;

According to that, the AddPayPeriod script was last run at 2007-08-16 00:00:00.

So something isn't adding up...
