Yes of course. Thanks for trying to find me a solution.
The applied pay system in all organizations here - this is the Employment Law - is the pay items. Every employee takes three pay items:
1. Basic pay (salary) (In TimeTrex, it is a recurring pay stub amendments)
2. Variable pay (salary) (In TimeTrex, it is a recurring pay stub amendments)
3. Any other allowances (has too many types including
overtime) (In TimeTrex, it is a recurring pay stub amendments except for the overtime )
So attendances have
no effect on the pay (salary). Every one has attended or not attended, all will take their salary. The effect here depends on the absence or the under time worked.
You may suggest calculating wage rate for each pay item.
But this will results in - in case of less time attended - a less amount in the pay stub than that it should be (that is in the employment contract) and this is illegal.
But still we need to determine the wage rate because in TimeTrex, overtime rate depends on (is a function of) wage rate, and the absence or under time is calculated (dock, paid, unpaid) based on the wage rate.
Wage rate is the sum of basic, variable, and some allowances divided by number of worked days.
The summary:
- Basic, variable, and allowances should appear as fixed amounts in the pay stub.
- Wage rate must be determined because overtime and absence/undertime depend on it.
- Overtime earnings and absence/undertime deductions amounts will appear in the pay stub
Sorry for these somewhat complications but it is the life
It is the case
My suggestions:
- Remove the link between pay stub and Regular Time account linking but pay stub didn't appear. And as you said:
TimeTrex doesn't really support this
- Manually determine the overtime rate. I mean overtime don't depends on the wage rate.
- Manually determine the absence/undertime rate. I mean absence/undertime don't depends on the wage rate.
- I tried to set the wage rate to be
1/month. And the overtime rate whatever I want because overtime x 1 = overtime. In the pay stub, regular earning will be 1, I then deduct a fixed amount of 1 from each employee. This was appeal to be the most best solution. But it appeared to be
not valid because overtime is per hour and wage is per month
(is this right?Please correct me.).
Also there is no way to determine manually the absence rate.
- Finally I decided to determine the wage rate, and overtime rate as very ordinary. A regular time amount will show in the pay stub for each employee, I will have to
manually deduct this amount from each employee.
Although TimeTrex is mainly to automate things and make life easier, but it still an effective program. It is OK to make some efforts and manually edit some items.
Thanks man for reading all this. If you have any suggestion, please tell me.
Thanks very much.
