Sample Processes
Add to Time Card
We set the filter to run for one employee and add a bonus of 0.10 to her Time Card. The Process AC to approved day(s) is ticked on.
On the Time Card the ABO Attendance Code shows the hours (16.03) and the rate (0.100)
The Time Earnings report for April has been run for this employee. The Attendance Bonus code shows an April 29th for $1.61. (16.03 hours X $0.10)
Add to Time Bank
If the bonus code is an earned code attached to a bank, then the bonus hours will be added to the time bank when the process is run. To put fixed number of hours into the employee's bank, untick the Reg. Hours option. Enter the bonus hours in the Fixed Hours field. Employees who do NOT have the disqualifying codes will receive the Fixed Hours amount in their banks.
This employee qualified for the five (5) bonus in this example where the hours have been added to the bank.
