Absence policy - All types - Dock-Unpaid-Paid (screenshots)

[blacksmith]

Although I know and use TimeTrex from last Jan 2008, and I understand absences policy, but I think something goes wrong.

My objective is to deduct any time the employee did not attend.

Given that:

- Employees are paid an hourly rate.
- Scheduled attendance time 9 hours per day.
- Absence policy created and associated with a Schedule policy

Now, here are the effects of each type of the four absence policies. The effect on the TimeSheet and then the effect on the PayStub:

1. Docked





2. Unpaid





3. Paid (above salary)





4. Paid





My questions:

1. Docked & Unpaid; from who? From the company or the employee?
Paid for who? For the company or employee?.

2. Which kind of Absence policy shall I use to achieve my objective above?

3. Please advise on any other recommendations.

Thanks very much.

Docked (for employees) absence policies only affect salaried employees, not hourly employees.

I don't fully understand what your object is, so I can't make any recommendations.

Normally a PAID absence would affect an employee earnings account. But it seems to me like a PAID absence that affects a employee deduction pay stub account will deduct money from the employees pay stub, is that not what you are looking for?

I don't fully understand what your object is

My objective is:

- Each employee has an hourly pay rate.
- Each employee should attend 9 hours each day.
- Employees must be paid only for the hours they attend (according to their hourly rate).
- Any undertime hours must be deducted from employee - according to their hourly rate - and put in the paystub under the Absence account.

Is that not exactly what is happening in item #4 of your original post?

Yes, also happens in #3.

1. Please tell the major difference between Paid absence and Paid (above salary) absence policies.

2. You said before that Docked absence policies only affect salaried employees, not hourly employees. Is that applies to Unpaid absence policies also?

Thanks

Docked and Paid (Above Salary) are for salaried employees only. Salaried employees are handled much differently from hourly employees in TimeTrex.

UnPaid absences are essentially for information purposes only, TimeTrex ignores UnPaid absences for anything to do with payroll/pay stubs.
