There
are
three
major
sections:
Menu
Bar
–
simply
click
any
of
the
items
here
to
navigate
to
that
feature.
Initially,
the
Attendance
feature
is
shown.
You
can
move
to
the
Payroll
feature
by
clicking
that
menu
item.
Icons
–
Click
these
to
perform
specific
functions.
Usually,
there
are
several
groups
of
icons.
Also,
these
icons
will
often
change
when
you
chose
a
different
item
in
the
Menu
Bar.
Listing/Details
–
This
section
will
often
contain
a
listing
or
a
set
of
fields
which
correspond
to
the
selections
you
make
in
the
Menu
Bar
and
the
Icons.
Each
additional
option
that
you
specify
is
a
AND
search,
which
cause
the
search
to
be
more
restrictive.
That
is,
as
you
select
more
options,
the
number
of
matching
results
will
tend
to
be
smaller
since
each
match
must
contain
the
values
of
all
options.
This
feature
might
be
a
bit
confusing,
since
the
search
criteria
will
still
apply
even
if
you
collapse
the
search
panel.
Remember
to
click
the
Clear
Search
button
when
you
no
longer
need
to
restrict
the
results
in
the
listing.
NOTE:
Click
the
small
arrow
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
Search

Layout
tab,
just
below
the
top
menu.
3. In
the
Save

As
field,
enter
the
name
for
the
saved
search.
4. Click
the
Save
button.
1. Click
the
Saved
Search
&
Layout
tab,
just
below
the
top
menu.
2. In
the
Previously
Saved
Search
drop-‐down
list,
choose
the
search
that
you
want
to
edit
or
delete.
3. To
edit
the
search,
make
changes
on
the
Basic
Search
or
Advanced
Search
tabs,
then
return
to
the
Saved
Search
&
Layout
and
click
the
Update
button.
4. To
delete
a
saved
search,
click
the
Delete
button.
In
the
left
red
panel,
Unselected
Items,
you
will
see
the
fields
from
which
you
may
choose.
The
right
green
panel,
Selected
Items,
lists
those
fields
already
shown
in
the
drop-‐down
listing.
Follow
these
steps
to
modify
the
contents
of
the
drop-‐down
listing:
1. To
add
a
field,
select
it
with
the
mouse
pointer
and
then
click
the
small
right
arrow.
For
convenience,
you
may
click
either
of
the
Select
All
or
Deselect
All
buttons.
Instead
of
using
the
arrows,
you
may
also
drag-‐and-‐drop
items
from
either
the
left
or
right
side.
2. To
remove
a
field,
select
it
with
the
mouse
pointer
and
then
click
the
small
left
arrow.
Again,
instead
of
using
the
arrows,
you
may
also
drag-‐and-‐drop
items
from
either
the
left
or
right
side.
3. To
restrict
the
number
of
rows
that
will
appear
when
the
drop-‐down
listing
appears,
choose
a
value
from
the
Rows
Per
Page
drop-‐down.
4. To
save
you
changes,
click
the
Save
and
Close
button;
otherwise
click
Close.
IMPORTANT:
If
you
don’t
click
the
Save
and
Close
button,
you
will
lose
any
of
your
changes.
Many
of
the
items
in
the
top
section
of
this
menu
correspond
to
the
icons
in
the
icon
bar.
We
will
learn
more
about
the
remaining
functions
in
the
chapters
below.
Before we explain how to use each feature, let’s cover a few definitions:
Transfer
punches
are
a
means
for
the
employee
to
switch
between
a
branch,
department,
job,
or
task
in
a
single
operation
without
having
to
punch
out
first.
Punch
pairing:
To
capture
a
period
of
work
time
for
which
an
employee
can
receive
pay,
Timetrex
always
looks
for
punches
in
pairs.
In
punches
represent
time
the
employee
is
working
or
on
the
clock
(receiving
pay),
while
out
punches
represent
time
the
employee
is
not
working
or
off
the
clock
(not
receiving
pay).
For
every
In
punch
there
must
be
a
corresponding
Out
punch.
For
example,
when
employee
leaves
work
to
go
for
lunch,
they
would
first
punch
Out
for
lunch,
then
when
they
return
they
would
punch
In
from
lunch.
Naturally,
the
employees
can
think
of
this
as
“going
to
lunch.”
Good
and
bad
quantity:
For
employees
that
produce
or
inspect
goods,
you
can
track
the
number
of
items
that
meet
a
standard
(good)
or
fail
to
meet
that
standard
(bad).
You
can
enter
the
values
for
Good
and
Bad
in
the
punch
record.
3.1.1 In/Out
In
addition
to
the
time
clock
integrations
and
other
hardware
devices
that
TimeTrex
offers
(http://www.timetrex.com/hardware.php),
an
employee
can
use
the
web
interface
to
punch
in
and
out.
To
punch
in
our
out
in
the
TimeTrex
web
interface,
do
the
following:
1. Click
Attendance
in
the
menu
bar,
and
then
click
In/Out
in
the
icon
bar.
2. An
inset
page
will
appear,
on
which
you
will
edit
the
information
necessary
for
the
punch
event.
3. The
Time
and
Date
correspond
directly
to
the
present
system
time,
so
neither
is
editable.
4. Check
the
box
if
this
is
a
Transfer
punch.
5. Choose
the
Punch
Type:
Normal,
Lunch,
or
Break.
6. Choose
whether
this
Punch
is
In
or
an
Out.
7. Also
choose
the
Branch
and
Department.
Learn
more
in
Branches
and
Departments.
8. Optionally,
choose
a
Jobs
or
Tasks.
9. If
applicable,
specify
the
values
for
Good
and
Bad
Quantity
and
optionally
enter
a
Note.
3.1.2 Timesheets
If
you
are
a
supervisor
or
TimeTrex
administrator,
you
can
view
employee
timesheets.
If
an
employee
is
given
access
to
TimeTrex,
then
that
employee
may
view
his/her
timesheets
only-‐unless
given
broader
access
to
view
the
timesheets
of
other
employees.
To

the
In
and
Out
punches
for
that
period.

can
edit
the
punches
on
the
timesheet
by
clicking
the

in
the
icon
bar.
From
that
same
context
menu,
you
can
conveniently
access
the
underlying
Schedules,
Employees,
or

Periods.
Below
the
current
timesheet,
you’ll

summary
data
for
Accumulated
Time
including
any
overtime
and
lunchtime.
Below
this
summary,
you’ll
find
other
summaries
that
delineate
the
time
spent
in
different
Branches,
Departments,
Jobs,
or
Tasks.
The
last
summary
lists
any
Absence
time.
3.1.3 Punches
To
the
extent
that
you
have
the
correct
permissions
as
an
administrator
or
supervisor,
TimeTrex

To
do
so:

Having
the
correct
permissions

or
edit
the
timesheet
containing
the
exception,
choose
View
in
the
icon
bar.
You

3. To
view
more
details,
choose
View
in
the
icon
bar
or
right-‐click
over
the
employee
in
the
listing
and
choose

menu.
4. You
can
apply
a
positive
or

adjustment
to
the

balance
by
clicking
New
in
the
icon
bar
(or
right-‐click

• Initial
Balance
–
choose
this
type
when
entering
initial
balances
from
other
records
into
TimeTrex.
For
example,
if
your
company
starts
with
TimeTrex
half
way
through
the
year
and
an
employee
has
accrued
1
week
of
vacation,
you
may
enter
that
as
the
value
for
the
Initial
Balance;
TimeTrex
will
add
future
accrual
amounts
to
this
initial
amount.
• Gift/Awarded/Unawarded
–
Use
this
type
to
award
employees
with
additional
accrual
as
a
bonus.
You
may
deduct
from
the
accrual
balance
using
Unawarded.
• Paid
Out
–
with
this
type,
you
may
manually
withdraw
time
from
an
accrual
when
it
is
paid
out.
Typically,
you
would
use
absence
policies
and
entering
time
on
schedules/timesheets
to
automatically
withdraw
time
from
an
accrual
balances.
• Rollover
Adjustment
–
this
type
is
available
for
manually
adjusting
accruals
at
the
end
of
the
year
or
a
specific
term.
For
example,
many
companies
give
employees
2
weeks
of
vacation
per
year,
but
do
not
permit
carryovers
into
the
next
year.
In
this
example,
a
manual
rollover
adjustment
can
be
made
to
remove
the
extra
time
for
the
start
of
the
next
year.

3.3 Company
The
Company
feature
allows
you
to
edit
and
save
all
of
the
information
specific
to
your
company,
including
.
It’s
important
that
this
information
be
kept
current
and
accurate
at
all
times-‐especially
the
contacts.
To
edit
company
information,
follow
these
steps:
1. In
the
menu
bar,
click
Company,
and
then
click
Company
Information
in
the
icon
bar.
2. An
inset
page
will
appear
which
contains
four
tabs:
Company,
Password
Policy,
LDAP
Authentication,
and
Audit.
3. As
appropriate
for
your
company,
complete
the
fields
in
each
of
these
tabs.
Some
of
the
fields
may
be
mandatory.
1. In
the
menu
bar,
click
Company,
and
then
click
Pay
Period
Schedules
in
the
icon
bar.
2. An
inset
page
will
appear
which
contains
four
tabs:
Pay
Period
Schedule,
Advanced,
Pay
Periods,
and
Audit.
3. Enter
a
Name
and
Description.
4. Choose
Bi-‐Weekly
for
Type.
5. For
Pay
Period
Starts
On,
choose
Monday.
6. For
Transaction
Date,
choose
5
(days
after
end
of
pay
period).
7. Click
the
Save
icon
to
commit
your
changes;
click
the
Cancel
icon
to
discard.
The
procedure
is
slightly
different
if
you
need
to
create
a
semi-‐monthly
pay
period
schedule.
For
this
pay
period
type,
you
need
to
tell
TimeTrex
which
day
of
the
month
the
primary
and
secondary
pay
period
starts
on
and
which
day
the
transaction
occurs
on
for
both.
For
example,
if
the
primary
pay
period
starts
on
the
1st
of
every
month,
and
the
transaction
date
is
the
first
of
the
following
month,
you
would
do
the
following:
Employees
–
You
may
designate
some
employees
as
exceptions
by
clicking
on
the
Employees
drop-‐down
listing
and
moving
some
employees
into
the
Unselected
column.
Advanced Options
If
you
want
more
precision
and
flexibility,
there
are
a
number
of
pay
period
schedule
options
you
may
configure
on
the
Advanced
tab:
Overtime
Week
-‐
defines
the
start
and
end
of
a
week
in
with
respect
to
overtime
or
premium
policies.
For
example,
if
an
employee
is
eligible
for
overtime
after
working
40
hours,
this
setting
specifies
the
day
on
which
the
overtime
hours
will
begin.
This
does
not
need
to
coincide
with
your
pay
period
dates,
unless
that
is
your
preference.
Time
Zone
-‐
is
the
time
zone
used
for
this
pay
period
schedule.
TimeTrex
is
a
24-‐hour
system,
capable
of
operating
in
any
country
around
the
world.
This
is
important
for
a
company
having
locations
in
different
time
zones,
in
which
they
need
to
define
the
exact
time
that
overtime—and
each
pay
period—starts
and
ends.
Minimum
Time-‐Off
Between
Shifts
-‐
specifies
the
minimum
amount
of
time
that
must
occur
between
out
and
in
punches
before
TimeTrex
will
start
a
new
shift
for
an
employee,
but
only
for
shifts
that
span
midnight.
Here’s
an
example:
If
an
employee
punches
out
on
15-‐Jan-‐12
at
11:30
PM
for
lunch
and
punches
back
in
on
16-‐Jan-‐12
(the
next
day)
at
12:30
AM,
in
order
to
combine
these
two
sets
of
times
into
a
single
shift,
the
Minimum
Time-‐Off
Between
Shifts
must
be
set
to
at
least
1
hour.
If
your
employees
work
split
shifts
around
midnight,
or
leave
for
extended
breaks,
this
setting
should
be
high
enough
to
include
the
longest
break
that
any
employee
may
take
and
still
continue
their
shift.
NOTE:
This
setting
can
significantly
affect
overtime
calculations,
so
use
it
with
care.
Maximum
Shift
Time
-‐
the
maximum
time
that
a
single
shift
can
extend.
It
also
defines
how
many
hours
back
TimeTrex
will
search
when
trying
to
pair
punches,
so
it
is
important
that
this
setting
is
not
too
high,
or
too
low.
If
this
option
is
set
too
high
(for
example
24:00),
there
could
be
confusion
in
some
circumstances.
Consider
the
example
where
an
employee
punches
in
at
8:00
AM
and
forgets
to
punch
out
at
5:00
PM,
then
comes
in
the
next
morning
at
8:00
AM,
TimeTrex
will
search
back
up
to
24
hours
to
see
if
there
is
an
in-‐punch
without
a
matching
out-‐punch.
If
it
finds
one,
it
would
incorrectly
think
that
the
employee
is
simply
punching
out
for
a
long
shift
and
cause
the
timesheet
for
that
employee
to
be
incorrect.
Therefore,
it
is
important
that
Maximum
Shift
Time
be
set
to
a
value
that
is
no
more
than
one
hour
longer
than
the
longest
possible
shift
an
employee
may
work,
which
is
commonly
no
more
than
16
hours.
Assign
Shifts
To
–
here
you
specify
the
day
to
which
a
shift
is
assigned
when
it
spans
midnight.
There
are
several
choices
here:
• Day
They
Start
On
–
the
shift
is
assigned
to
the
day
on
which
the
first
in
punch
occurs.
• Day
They
End
On
-‐
the
shift
is
assigned
to
the
day
on
which
the
last
in
punch
occurs.
• Day
With
Most
Time
Worked
–
the
shift
is
assigned
to
the
day
in
which
most
of
the
hours
worked
occurs.
• Each
Day
(Split
At
Midnight)
–
the
shift
is
split,
such
that
any
time
worked
is
assigned
to
the
day
in
which
it
actually
occurred.
NOTE:
This
setting
can
greatly
affect
overtime
calculations,
so
use
it
with
care.
TimeSheet
Verification
–
this
is
the
time
window
inside
of
which
employees
may
verify
their
timesheets.
You
must
first
choose
who
will
do
the
verification:
Employee,
Superior,
or
both
Employee
&
Superior.
Next,
you
need
to
specify
the
start
and
end
of
the
window.
By
default,
employees
may
only
verify
timesheets
after
the
pay
period
ends
and
before
it
is
paid
(transaction
date).
However,
if
you
prefer,
you
can
specify
the
number
of
days
for
Verification
Window
Starts
and
Verification
Window
Ends.
You
may
use
negative
values
here
to
extend
the
window
in
either
direction.
3.3.3 Branches
A
Branch
identifies
the
location
in
which
employees
are
punching
in
or
out.
For
time
recording
to
function,
TimeTrex
recommends
that
a
company
have
at
least
one
branch.
So,
if
your
company
only
has
one
branch
or
location,
you
will
need
to
add
it.
Of
course,
you
can
add
multiple
branches
(locations).
3.3.4 Departments
A
Department
identifies
a
functional
unit
within
your
company.
You
can
assign
employees
to
departments
that
match
their
work
roles.
You
may
add
one
or
more
departments.
To
add
a
department,
do
the
following:
1. In
the
menu
bar,
click
Departments,
then
right-‐click
over
the
listing
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
and
select
New
from
the
context
menu.
3.3.5 Hierarchy
A
hierarchy
defines
a
relationship
between
a
superior
and
subordinates
within
your
company.
You
may
establish
a
hierarchy
for
several
different
types
of
objects
including
Requests,
Exception
Notifications,
Timesheet
Verification
and
Permissions.
By
establishing
a
hierarchy,
superiors
may
only
view
data
for
subordinates
which
the
administrator
assign
to
them.
Here,
the
Payroll
Administrator
is
at
level
1,
or
the
top
level
in
the
hierarchy,
and
this
level
will
be
the
final
authorization
level.
The
Department
Manager
and
Team
Supervisor
are
both
sharing
responsibilities
at
level
2.
So,
if
a
subordinate
were
to
submit
a
request,
either
of
these
two
employees
could
authorize
it.
The
Supervisor
is
at
level
3,
the
lowest
level
in
this
hierarchy.
This
Supervisor
will
be
the
first
one
to
receive
each
request
(or
exception).
Each
time
a
request
gets
a
lower-‐level
of
authorization,
it
moves
up
a
level
in
the
hierarchy
until
the
superior
at
level
one
authorizes
it.
Of
course,
the
request
may
be
declined
by
any
of
the
superiors.
Keep
in
mind
that,
although
a
superior
may
have
subordinates
below
them
in
a
hierarchy,
they
must
at
least
have
Supervisor
level
permissions
before
they
are
able
to
authorize
requests.
NOTE:
This
is
a
potential
point
of
confusion,
since
some
tend
to
think
wage
groups
are
like
employee
groups
for
categorizing
employees.
But
this
is
not
the
case.
You
should
create
secondary
wage
groups
only
if
you
pay
employees
different
rates
for
performing
different
positions
or
jobs/tasks.
For
example,
consider
the
case
where
an
employee
gets
paid
$10/hour
for
most
of
the
time
they
work,
but
gets
$11.27/hour
for
working
in
"Department
A"
and
$12.33/hour
for
working
in
"Department
B."
You
could
setup
two
wage
groups,
one
for
each
department.
In
addition
you
would
also
configure
two
shift
differential
premium
policies
that
specify
that
when
an
employee
works
in
a
specific
department,
they
get
paid
the
rate
that
you
associate
with
the
alternative
wage
group(s)
instead
of
the
default
wage.
3.3.7 Stations
Stations
allow
employers
to
have
precise
control
over
the
location
in
which
their
employees
are
able
to
punch
in
and
out.
TimeTrex
considers
a
station
to
be
any
device
on
which
a
user
can
punch
in
or
punch
out.
Examples
of
a
stations
are
these:
a
computer
with
a
web
browser,
iButton
readers,
fingerprint
readers,
proximity
card
readers,
barcode
readers,
touch-‐tone
telephone,
mobile
phones,
and
stand-‐alone
time
clocks.
Each
station
is
given
a
unique
Station
ID
and
a
"source"
address.
For
computers,
iButton
readers,
fingerprint
readers,
and
stand-‐alone
time
clocks,
the
source
is
one
or
more
Internet
IP
addresses
separated
by
a
comma
(such
as
192.168.1.100,
192.168.1.101,
192.168.1.102,and
so
on),
a
range
of
IP
addresses
(192.168.1.0/24
or
192.168.0.0/16),
or
an
Internet
domain
name.
For
computers,
the
Station
ID
is
stored
in
a
browser
cookie;
for
other
devices,
the
Station
ID
is
electronically
embedded
in
the
device
itself.
For
telephones,
both
the
Station
ID
and
the
source
are
set
to
the
caller
ID
number
given
by
the
telephone
company.
NOTE:
The
use
of
stations
is
only
for
punching
in
and
out.
Employees
can
carry
out
any
other
functions,
such
as
checking
schedules,
viewing
pay
stubs,
submitting
requests,
from
other
locations
where
the
TimeTrex
application
is
accessible.
IMPORTANT:
By
default,
all
employees
are
allowed
to
punch
in
and
out
on
any
station.
You
only
need
to
change
these
settings
if
you
need
2. An
inset
page
will
appear
which
contains
three
tabs:
Station,
Employee
Criteria,
and
Audit.
Since
this
is
a
new
entry,
you
will
be
unable
to
access
the
Audit
tab.
3. For
Type,
choose
a
value
from
the
listing
that
matches
the
device
you
want
to
add
as
a
station.
4. Enter
a
Station
ID,
the
format
of
which
depends
on
the
value
you
choose
for
Type.
If
appropriate,
you
can
enter
“ANY”.
5. Enter
the
Source,
which
will
often
be
an
IP
address
or
a
telephone
number.
6. Enter
a
Description,
and
then
choose
a
Default
Branch
and
Default
Department
for
this
station.
7. Optionally,
enter
a
Default
Job
and
Default
Task.
8. Switch
to
the
Employee
Criteria
tab,
and
decide
what
additional
constraints
you
want
to
apply
to
this
station.
By
default,
all
employees
may
use
a
station.
Adjust
the
settings
in
this
tab
only
you
want
to
restrict
some
types
of
employees.
9. Click
the
Save
icon
to
commit
your
changes;
click
the
Cancel
icon
to
discard.
NOTE:
Setting
the
Station
ID
or
Source
to
"ANY"
acts
as
a
wild
card,
and
directs
TimeTrex
to
accept
any
value.
You
can
create
a
"wild
card"
station,
which
allows
all
computers
behind
a
company
firewall
or
router
to
punch
in/out without
having
to
specifically
assign
access
to
each
computer.
Add
a
new
station
in
TimeTrex
and
set
the
Type
to
PC,
the
Station
ID
to
ANY,
and
the
Source
to
one
or
multiple
internet
IP
address(es)
of
the
firewalls/routers
(such
as
204.174.1.1,
204.174.1.1,
or
24.2.1.3).
Each
station
has
the
Employee
Criteria
tab,
in
which
you
may
restrict
or
exclude
particular
employees
who
may
use
this
station.
If,
for
example,
you
want
to
allow
all
employees
the
ability
to
punch
in
and
out
from
any
telephone,
you
would
add
a
new
station
in
TimeTrex,
set
the
Type
to
Phone,
and
set
both
the
Station
ID
and
Source
to
ANY.
If,
on
the
other
hand
you
want
to
restrict
employees
so
they
can
only
punch
in/out
from
a
company
telephone,
you
would
set
both
the
Station
ID
and
Source
to
the
company's
telephone
number—without
dashes
or
brackets
(for
example,
?6045551234?).
When
creating
a
permission
group,
you
may
specify
a
Level
for
that
group.
Level
is
extremely
important
for
security,
because
any
employee
having
access
to
modify
a
permission
group
can
change
their
permission
group
to
any
that
has
a
lower
level
than
their
own.
For
example,
a
supervisor
having
a
permission
group
of
level
10
can
assign
their
subordinates
to
any
level
of
10
or
less.
We
recommend
that
permission
levels
should
start
at
level
1
for
the
lowest-‐level
of
access
(Regular
Employee)
and
go
to
level
25
for
the
highest-‐
level
access
(Administrator).
TimeTrex
has
a
very
finely-‐granular
permissions
system
with
many
hundreds
of
different
permissions
that
all
intertwine
with
one
another.
So,
we
don’t
recommend
that
you
modify
3.3.9 Currencies
You
will
need
to
setup
at
least
one
currency
for
your
payroll.
If
you
pay
employees
in
more
than
one
country,
you
may
need
to
add
multiple
currencies.
Currencies
also
apply
to
invoices
and
expenses.
After
adding
a
currency,
you
can
specify
it
as
the
pay
currency
when
you
create
a
Error!

for
the
employee.
3.3.11 Import
You
may
import
data
into
TimeTrex
by
using
a
step-‐by-‐step
tool
that
we
call
the
Import
Wizard.
The
source
data
must
reside
in
a
comma-‐separated
value
(CSV)
text
file—which
you
may
then
export
to
Excel
and
most
other
spreadsheet
software.
During
the
process,
you
will
Here
we
guide
you
in
the
manual
creation
of
pay
periods.
A
pay
period
consists
simply
of
a
start
date,
pay
end
date,
and
payment
date.
After
creating
a
pay
period,
you
can
then
Processing
Payroll.
WARNINGS:
1. Anytime
you
add
or
modify
paystub
amendments,
you
must
recalculate
employee
pay
stubs
for
those
changes
to
take
effect.
Under
normal
circumstances,
we
recommend
that
you
enter
all
paystub
amendments
for
all
employees
at
once
and
then
generate
pay
stubs
when
you
finish.
However,
you
may
also
enter
them
individually
or
generate
pay
stubs
multiple
times.
2. Also,
since
TimeTrex
is
a
24-‐hour
system,
we
don’t
recommend
that
you
create
paystub
amendments
that
are
effective
on
the
first
or
last
day
of
any
pay
period.
If
a
pay
period
starts
on
01-‐Oct-‐12
at
12:01
AM
and
a
paystub
amendment
is
effective
on
01-‐Oct-‐12
at
12:00
AM,
it
may
not
appear
in
the
pay
period
that
you
expect.
It
is
important
to
be
mindful
of
employees
in
multiple
time
zones.
So,
we
recommend
that
you
allow
at
least
one
day
after
the
start
of
the
pay
period,
or
one
day
before
the
end
of
the
pay
period,
or
set
it
to
a
day
in
the
middle
of
the
pay
period.
NOTE:
It’s
important
to
realize
the
effect
of
choosing
each
Pay
Period
for
the
Frequency.
In
this
case,
the
pay
stub
amendments
will
be
effective
on
the
last
day
of
the
pay
period.
When
using
the
Monthly
frequency,
the
effective
date
will
be
the
first
day
of
each
month.
NOTE:
You
may
access
this
feature
either
by
choosing
Company
>
Pay
Period
Schedules
or
Payroll
>
Pay
Period
Schedules
from
the
menu.
All
aspects
are
the
same,
regardless
of
the
path
that
you
choose
to
access
this
feature.
Pay
period
schedules
are
critical
to
the
operation
of
TimeTrex
since
they
define
when
pay
periods
begin
and
end.
They
also
include
the
transaction
date,
which
is
the
date
when
employees
are
paid.
Most
companies
will
have
use
for
only
a
single
pay
period
schedule,
but
TimeTrex
allows
for
multiple
pay
period
schedules.
However,
it’s
important
to
realize
that
you
may
only
assign
an
employee
to
a
single
pay
period
schedule
at
a
time.
Pay
period
schedules
are
constantly
repeating
themselves,
very
much
like
recurring
schedules
for
employees.
So,
when
you
add
a
new
pay
period
schedule,
all
you
need
to
do
is
describe
one
or
two
full
pay
period
start/transaction
dates.
TimeTrex
will
then
automatically
determine
the
schedule
pattern
and
repeat
it
in
to
the
future
indefinitely.
In
most
cases,
if
you
pay
by
check,
we
recommend
that
you
set
at
least
one
day
between
the
end
of
the
pay
period
and
the
transaction
date.
Or,
if
you
pay
by
direct
deposit,
we
recommend
that
you
set
allow
two
business
days.
The
intent
here
is
to
give
supervisors
and
employees
enough
time
to
submit
requests
and
complete
any
outstanding
authorizations
before
payment
finalizes.
It’s
better
to
leave
as
much
buffer
as
possible,
to
accommodate
weekends
and
holidays.
If
a
holiday
falls
at
the
end
of
a
pay
period,
we
recommend
a
buffer
of
5
to
7
days.
Let’s
consider
some
examples.
Let’s
say
you
want
to
create
a
Bi-‐Weekly
pay
period
schedule
that
starts
on
Monday
and
has
a
transaction
date
of
Friday
following
the
end
of
the
pay
period.
You
would
perform
these
steps:
1. In the menu bar, click Company, and then click Pay Period Schedules in the icon bar.
1. In
the
menu
bar,
click
Company,
and
then
click
Pay
Period
Schedules
in
the
icon
bar.
2. An
inset
page
will
appear
which
contains
four
tabs:
Pay
Period
Schedule,
Advanced,
Pay
Periods,
and
Audit.
Since
this
is
a
new
entry,
you
will
be
unable
to
access
the
Audit
tab.
3. Enter
a
Name
and
Description.
4. Choose
Semi-‐Monthly
for
Type.
5. In
the
Primary
section,
for
Pay
Period
Start
Day
of
Month,
choose
1.
6. For
Transaction
Day
of
Month,
choose
1.
(The
transaction
date
is
always
the
selected
day
of
the
month
AFTER
the
pay
period
ends,
so
setting
these
both
to
1
will
cause
the
transaction
date
to
be
the
1st
of
the
following
month.)
7. In
the
Secondary
section,
for
Pay
Period
Start
Day
of
Month,
choose
16.
8. In
the
Secondary
section,
for
Transaction
Day
of
Month,
choose
15.
9. Click
the
Save
icon
to
commit
your
changes;
click
the
Cancel
icon
to
discard.
Here
is
the
resulting
final
pay
period
schedule:
Employees
–
By
default,
the
payroll
schedule
setting
will
apply
to
all
of
the
employees
in
the
company.
You
may
make
exceptions
by
click
on
the
Employees
drop-‐down
listing
and
moving
some
employees
into
the
Unselected
column.
Advanced Options
If
you
want
more
precision
and
flexibility,
there
are
a
number
of
schedule
options
you
may
configure
on
the
Advanced
tab:
Overtime
Week
-‐
defines
the
start
and
end
of
a
week
in
regard
overtime
or
premium
policies.
For
example,
if
an
employee
is
eligible
for
overtime
after
working
40
hours,
this
setting
specifies
the
day
on
which
the
overtime
hours
will
begin.
This
does
not
need
to
coincide
with
your
pay
period
dates,
unless
that
is
your
preference.
NOTE:
This
setting
is
entirely
different
from
the
Start
Weeks
On
setting
found
in
MyAccount
>
Preferences.
That
setting
is
simply
a
display
option
for
each
employee,
and
it
doesn’t
affect
the
calculation
of
overtime.
Time
Zone
-‐
is
the
time
zone
used
for
this
pay
period
schedule.
TimeTrex
is
a
24-‐hour
system,
capable
of
operating
in
any
country
around
the
world.
This
is
important
for
a
company
having
locations
in
different
time
zones,
in
which
they
need
to
define
the
exact
time
that
overtime
for
each
pay
period
starts
and
ends.
Minimum
Time-‐Off
Between
Shifts
-‐
specifies
the
minimum
amount
of
time
that
must
occur
between
out
and
in
punches
before
TimeTrex
will
start
a
new
shift
for
an
employee,
but
only
for
shifts
that
span
midnight.
Here’s
an
example:
If
an
employee
punches
out
on
15-‐Jan-‐12
at
11:30
PM
for
lunch
and
punches
back
in
on
16-‐Jan-‐12
(the
next
day)
at
12:30
AM,
in
order
to
combine
these
two
sets
of
times
into
a
single
shift,
the
"Minimum
Time-‐Off
Between
Shifts"
must
be
set
to
at
least
1
hour.
If
your
employees
work
split
shifts
around
midnight,
or
leave
for
extended
breaks,
this
setting
should
be
high
enough
to
include
the
longest
break
that
any
employee
may
take
and
still
continue
their
shift.
Maximum
Shift
Time
-‐
the
maximum
time
that
a
single
shift
can
extend.
It
also
defines
how
many
hours
back
TimeTrex
will
search
when
trying
to
pair
punches,
so
it
is
important
that
this
setting
is
not
too
high,
or
too
low.
If
this
option
is
set
too
high
(for
example
24:00),
there
could
be
confusion.
Consider
the
example
where
an
employee
punches
in
at
8:00
AM
and
forgets
to
punch
out
at
5:00
PM,
then
comes
in
the
next
morning
at
8:00
AM,
TimeTrex
will
search
back
up
to
24
hours
to
see
if
there
is
an
in-‐punch
without
a
matching
out-‐punch.
If
it
finds
one,
it
would
incorrectly
think
that
the
employee
is
simply
punching
out
for
a
long
shift
and
cause
the
employee
timesheet
to
be
incorrect.
Therefore,
it
is
important
that
Maximum
Shift
Time
be
set
to
a
value
that
is
no
more
than
one
hour
longer
than
the
longest
possible
shift
an
employee
may
work,
which
is
commonly
no
more
than
16
hours.
Assign
Shifts
To
–
specifies
the
day
to
which
a
shift
is
assigned
when
it
spans
midnight.
There
are
several
choices
here:
• Day
They
Start
On
–
the
shift
is
assigned
to
the
day
on
which
the
first
in
punch
occurs.
• Day
They
End
On
-‐
the
shift
is
assigned
to
the
day
on
which
the
last
in
punch
occurs.
• Day
With
Most
Time
Worked
–
the
shift
is
assigned
to
the
day
in
which
most
of
the
hours
worked
occurs.
• Each
Day
(Split
At
Midnight)
–
the
shift
is
split,
such
that
any
time
worked
is
assigned
to
the
day
in
which
it
actually
occurred.
NOTE:
This
setting
can
greatly
affect
overtime
calculations,
so
use
it
with
care.
TimeSheet
Verification
–
this
is
the
time
window
inside
of
which
employees
may
verify
their
timesheets.
You
must
first
choose
who
will
do
the
verification:
Employee,
Superior,
or
both
Employee
&
Superior.
Next,
you
need
to
specify
the
start
and
end
of
the
window.
By
default,
employees
may
only
verify
timesheets
after
the
pay
period
ends
and
before
it
is
paid
(transaction
date).
However,
if
you
prefer,
you
can
specify
the
number
of
days
for
Verification
Window
Starts
and
Verification
Window
Ends.
As
you
prepare
to
configure
your
pay
stub
accounts,
remember
that
earning
accounts
withdraw
from
accruals,
and
deduction
accounts
deposit
into
accruals.
This
is
commonly
used
for
keeping
track
of
accruing
vacation
pay.
To
do
this,
you
would
simply
create
a
Vacation
Accrual
account
of
type
Accrual
and
a
Vacation
Accrual
Release
account
of
type
Earning
with
Vacation
Accrual
set
as
the
accrual
account.
Then
Vacation
Accrual
Release
amounts
are
automatically
withdrawn
from
Vacation
Accrual.
This
method
can
also
be
used
to
keep
track
of
employee
loans.
You
will
also
need
to
enter
values
for
Debit
Account
and
Credit
Account.
These
are
the
identifiers
for
mapping
the
TimeTrex
accounts
to
account
numbers
in
your
general
ledger
(GL)
of
your
accounting
software.
If
you
want
to
combine
two
or
more
TimeTrex
accounts
in
to
a
single
GL
account,
you
can
simply
enter
the
same
account
number
for
both.
For
example,
if
you
want
Provincial/State
and
Federal
income
tax
to
be
combined
in
to
a
single
GL
account,
you
would
give
them
the
same
account
number
(such
as
2330).
You
don’t
need
to
map
all
TimeTrex
accounts
to
a
GL
account.
You
could,
for
example,
combine
all
the
TimeTrex
earnings
accounts
in
to
a
single
GL
account
number
of
2300.
Simply
enter
2300
for
the
TimeTrex
"Total
Gross"
account.
Once
you
map
the
accounts
you
want,
you
can
go
to
Report
>
Payroll
Reports
>
General
Ledger
Summary.
There,
you
may
select
any
filter
criteria
that
you
want,
select
the
export
format
that
you
want
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
and
then
press
the
Export
button.
Save
this
file
to
your
hard
disk,
and
import
it
in
to
your
accounting
software
accordingly.
Before
outlining
the
steps
to
configure
a
tax
/
deduction
item,
we
provide
the
definitions
of
the
Calculation
types:
Advanced
Percent
–
a
complex
calculation
with
additional
criteria.
Two
additional
factors
will
be
necessary,
Annual
Wage
Base/Maximum
Earnings
and
Annual
Deduction
Amount:
• Annual
Wage
Base
-‐
The
maximum
annual
limit
that
to
which
the
percentage
will
apply.
For
example,
setting
this
value
to
$40,000
will
cause
this
calculation
to
disable
once
the
employee
has
earned
this
amount
during
the
year.
• Annual
Deduction
Amount
-‐
The
annual
amount
that
deducts
from
the
calculation.
For
example,
if
you
set
this
value
to
$5,000,
this
calculation
will
not
apply
to
the
first
$5,000
of
the
employee’s
earnings.

(Range
Bracket)
–
a
complex
percentage
calculation
that
requires
additional
factors:
Annual
Deduction
Amount,
Annual
Amount
Greater
Than,
Annual
Amount
Less
Than,
and
Annual
Fixed
Amount.
This
calculation
will
only
apply
when
the
annual
amount
is
higher
than
the
value
given
in
Annual
Amount
Greater
Than
and
lower
than
the
Annual
Amount
Less
Than
value.
You
may
employ
multiple
Advanced
Percent
(Range
Bracket)
deductions
together
to
calculate
amounts
for
one
or
more
brackets,
such
as:
Advanced
Percent
(Tax
Bracket)
–
a
complex
percentage
calculation
similar
to
the
Advanced
Percent
(Range
Bracket)
calculation.
The
difference
here
is
that
this
calculation
is
always
done
as
long
as
the
value
for
Deduction
Amount
exceeds
the
value
for
Annual
Exempt
Amount.
And
again,
you
may
employ
multiple
Advanced
Percent
(Tax
Bracket)
deductions
to
act
as
a
complete
tax
formula.
Here
is
an
example:
Advanced
Percent
(Tax
Bracket
Alt.)
–
this
is
another
complex
tax
bracket
calculation,
which
only
applies
when
the
calculation
amount
less
the
Annual
Deduction
Amount
is
higher
than
the
Annual
Amount
Greater
Than
value
and
lower
then
the
Annual
Amount
Less
Than
value.
The
value
for
Annual
Fixed
Amount
is
added
to
the
end
result.
This
is
different
from
the
Advanced
Percent
(Tax
Bracket)
such
that
only
a
single
bracket
in
a
group
may
apply
to
an
employee.
Each
individual
bracket
is
designed
to
be
the
entire
tax
formula
and
essentially
function
on
its
own.
The
final
result
is
the
same
as
an
Advanced
Percent
(Tax
Bracket),
but
it
is
just
a
different
way
to
get
there.
For
example:
In
this
example,
TimeTrex
will
calculate
5%
if
the
employee
earned
between
$0
and
$10,000.
If
the
employee
earns
more
than
this,
there
will
be
no
calculation
for
the
first
bracket
and
TimeTrex
moves
on
to
the
next
bracket.
If
the
employee
earns
between
$10,001
and
$20,000,
then
10%
would
be
calculated
on
the
amount
earned
between
10,000
and
$20,000
with
the
Fixed
Amount
being
added
at
the
end.
It’s
important
to
realize
that
the
Fixed
Amount
is
always
the
total
tax
amount
that
would
be
calculated
from
all
previous
brackets.
This
is
why
only
a
single
bracket
is
ever
applied,
because
the
fixed
amount
accounts
for
all
previous
bracket
tax
amounts.
Fixed Amount – with this calculation type, you simply enter an Amount.
Fixed
Amount
(Range
Bracket)
–
a
complex
fixed
amount
calculation.
Here,
you
enter
an
Amount,
Annual
Deduction
Amount,
Annual
Amount
Greater
Than,
and
Annual
Amount
Less
Than.
The
fixed
amount
only
applies
when
the
Amount
minus
the
Annual
Deduction
Amount
is
higher
than
the
value
of
Annual
Amount
Greater
Than
and
lower
than
the
Annual
Amount
Less
Than
value.
Fixed
Amount
(w/Target)
–
a
complex
fixed
amount
calculation
that
only
applies
when
the
value
of
the
year-‐to-‐date
for
the
included
pay
stub
accounts
does
not
equal
or
exceed
the
value
of
Target
Balance/Limit.
This
is
useful
for
automatically
processing
of
loans,
for
example.
If,
say,
you
want
to
deduct
$100
from
an
employees
pay
stub
until
the
Loan
Accrual
value
reaches
$0.
Another
example
would
be
for
uniform
reimbursements,
in
which
Federal
Income
Tax
Formula
–
a
specific
formula
based
on
the
country
that
you
choose.
Depending
on
the
choice
of
Country,
there
may
be
additional
fields
(such
as
Marital
Status
or
Allowances)
that
that
require
input.
However,
you
may
configure
these
fields
separately
for
each
employee.
All
settings
such
as
filing
status
or
claim
amounts
can
be
set
separately
for
each
employee
by
going
to
Wages.
The
values
set
here
are
used
as
defaults.
Province/State
Income
Tax
-‐
is
the
specific
formula
based
on
the
province
or
state
that
you
choose.
Depending
in
the
choice
of
Province
/
State,
there
may
be
additional
fields
that
that
require
input.
District/County
Income
Tax
–
this
is
a
specific
formula
that
depends
on
the
choice
of
district,
county
or
city
that
you
choose.
Depending
on
the
choice
of
District,
County
or
City,
there
may
be
additional
fields
that
that
require
input.
For
example
if
you
had
employees
who
only
work
on
a
night
shift,
and
other
employees
who
work
exclusively
on
the
day
shift,
you
could
create
two
separate
policy
groups,
and
define
different
policies
(such
as
overtime
or
premium)
that
apply
to
each
distinct
group.
Another
common
policy
group
configuration
would
be
to
designate
a
number
of
employees
exempt
from
overtime
pay.
WARNING:
Modifying
policies
or
policy
groups
will
only
affect
data
that
users
add
or
modify
after
the
you
commit
the
policy
changes.
To
apply
policy
changes
retroactively,
you
must
recalculate
employee
timesheets
using
the
Attendance
>
TimeSheet,
click
on
a
punch
cell
to
bring
up
the
context
menu
and
then
click
Recalculate
TimeSheet
item.
Here are the definitions for the settings within this policy type:
Meal
Policy
–
sets
the
meal
policy
that
will
apply
to
any
shift
that
is
set
to
conform
to
this
policy.
Break
Policies
–
defines
one
or
more
break
policies
that
will
apply
to
any
shift
which
is
set
to
conform
to
this
policy.
Under
time
Absence
Policy
–
this
policy
will
trigger
the
recording
of
the
difference
between
scheduled
time
and
recorded
work
time
when
the
scheduled
time
exceeds
the
recorded
work
time.
For
example,
if
an
employee
was
on
the
schedule
to
work
8
hours
on
a
shift,
and
yet
they
only
work
7
hours,
then
this
setting
would
cause
the
recording
of
the
1
hour
difference
as
an
absence.
Consequently,
this
absence
would
be
paid,
unpaid
or
docked
depending
on
Absence
Policies
settings.
The
primary
use
for
this
policy
is
for
salary
employees
whose
work
time
is
less
than
their
schedule
minimum
and
such
differences
should
result
in
a
docking
of
their
pay.
Another
use
is
for
drawing
time
drawn
from
the
timebank
of
an
employee
who
works
less
than
what
is
on
their
schedule
Start/Stop
Window
–
sets
the
amount
of
time
that
TimeTrex
will
search
for
an
employee
schedule
if
they
happen
to
punch
in
before
their
schedule
starts,
or
punch
out
after
their
schedule
ends.
This
is
especially
important
if
employees
work
split
shifts.
We
recommend
using
a
value
between
1
and
2
hours
if
possible.
For
example,
an
employee
might
be
on
schedule
to
work
from
8:00
AM
to
12:00
PM
as
well
as
4:00
PM
to
8:00
PM,
and
yet
they
punch
in
at
7:00
AM
and
punch
out
at
1:00
PM.
In
this
case,
the
Start/Stop
Window
would
need
to
be
at
least
1
hour
for
TimeTrex
to
associate
those
punches
with
the
8:00
AM
to
12:00
PM
scheduled
shift.
The
theory
behind
rounding
is
to
offer
a
method
in
which
employees
are
only
paid
for
the
time
they
are
actually
working.
If
the
shift
start
is
8:00AM,
then
walking
through
the
front
door
at
7:59
AM
might
not
be
acceptable,
since
they
still
have
to
a
coffee
before
they
actually
begin
work.
Employers
may
not
want
to
pay
them
for
this
non-‐productive
time.
WARNING:
Please
check
your
local
labor
laws
to
determine
what
if
any
rounding
policies
are
legally
applicable.
Here are the definitions for the settings within this policy type:
Punch
Type
–
specifies
which
types
of
punches
that
TimeTrex
will
round
in
this
policy.
It’s
important
to
realize
the
significance
of
setting
a
Punch
Type
to
Lunch
Total,
Break
Total,
or
Day
Total.
Each
of
these
will
induce
a
total
rounding
that
applies
to
the
total
lunch,
break
or
day
time
and
rounds
out
the
interval
between
the
punches.
This
is
especially
useful
if
it
does
not
matter
to
the
employer
when
employees
punch
in/out
as
long
as
the
total
punch
time
is
rounded
to
the
specified
interval.
In
TimeTrex,
every
punch
must
pair
with
another
punch.
For
every
IN
punch,
there
must
be
a
corresponding
OUT
punch
in
order
to
calculate
the
total
amount
of
work
time.
Consequently,
Lunch/Break/Day
total
rounding
simply
rounds
the
last
punch
in
the
pair
so
that
the
over
all
total
time
of
the
pair
will
round
to
the
interval
that
you
specify.
In:
8:03AM
Out:
5:05AM
Total
Time:
9:02
(9
hours
and
2
minutes)
If
you
were
to
apply
Day
Total
and
Average
rounding,
with
a
15-‐minute
interval,
the
same
punches
would
look
like
this:
In:
8:03AM
Out:
5:03AM
<-‐-‐
changed
from
5:05AM
to
5:03AM
Round
Type
-‐
sets
the
direction
toward
which
punches
will
round.
Average
rounding
will
split
the
interval
in
half
and
round
values
in
the
lower
half
down
and
values
in
the
upper
half
up
by
the
specified
Interval.
Interval
–
defines
the
amount
of
time
by
which
punches
will
round.
For
example,
if
this
value
is
set
to
00:01
(1
minute),
all
times
will
round
to
the
closest
minute.
If
this
value
is
set
to
00:15
(15
minutes),
times
will
round
to
the
closest
quarter
hour.
It’s
important
to
see
the
relation
of
Interval
with
Round
Type.
If
the
Round
Type
is
set
to
Up,
and
Interval
set
to
15
minutes,
all
times
will
round
up
to
the
next
15-‐minute
interval.
(For
example,
7:34
AM
will
round
to
7:45
AM;
7:46
AM
will
round
to
8:00
AM).
Another
example:
if
you
set
Round
Type
to
Average,
all
times
will
round
to
the
nearest
interval.
(7:34
AM
will
round
down
to
7:30
AM;
7:41
AM
will
round
up
to
7:45
AM).
Grace
Period
–
is
the
amount
of
time
given
to
the
employee
before
rounding
takes
place.
For
example,
if
Round
Type
is
set
to
Up
and
Interval
is
set
to
00:15
with
a
Grace
Period
of
00:03,
and
the
employee
punches
in
at
8:02
AM.
In
this
case,
the
punch
will
round
down
to
8:00
AM
since
the
punch
is
within
the
Grace
Period
window.
We
recommend
that
you
set
this
to
0
when
using
the
Average
rounding
type.
Strict
Schedule
–
if
you
check
this
box,
punch
times
will
round
to
the
scheduled
time
of
each
employee.
When
you
specify
this
option,
TimeTrex
will
never
record
time
that
exceeds
the
schedule
for
any
employee.
This
is
also
known
as
pre-‐authorized
overtime.
However,
if
the
employee
punches
in
late,
or
punches
out
early,
those
punches
will
round
normally
according
to
this
policy.
For
strict
rounding
to
work,
the
employee
must
be
scheduled
on
that
day
and
also
have
a
schedule
policy
applied
to
their
schedule
that
defines
a
proper
start/stop
window.
Here
is
an
example:
if
an
employee
is
scheduled
to
start
their
shift
at
8:00
AM,
and
they
punch
in
at
7:48
AM,
but
Strict
Schedule
is
enabled,
TimeTrex
will
record
the
time
as
their
schedule
time
of
8:00
AM.
If
they
punch
in
after
their
schedule
time,
then
the
time
will
round
normally.
The
opposite
is
true
for
setting
Strict
Schedule
at
the
end
of
a
shift:
if
an
employee
punches
out
after
their
schedule
end
time
of
5:00
PM,
TimeTrex
records
it
as
their
scheduled
time
of
5:00
PM.
If
they
punch
out
before
their
schedule
end
time,
4:50
PM,
TimeTrex
will
round
the
time
accordingly.
When
using
Lunch,
Break
or
Day
Total
rounding
with
Strict
Rounding,
the
total
time
cannot
exceed
the
scheduled
total
time.
Here are the definitions for the settings within this policy type:
Type
–
specifies
either
(a)
if
this
meal
policy
defines
a
default
window
for
Punch
Types
=
Lunch,
or
(b)
if
it
will
be
used
to
modify
the
total
time
for
the
day
for
employees
to
whom
the
policy
applies.
Setting
Type
to
Auto-‐Deduct
type
will
automatically
deduct
the
meal
time
from
employees
time
once
their
shift
exceeds
the
Active
After
interval;
this
is
useful
in
cases
where
employees
are
not
paid
for
lunch
and
they
won't
be
punching
in
or
out
for
lunch
either.
Setting
Type
to
Auto-‐Add
will
cause
an
automatic
addition
of
the
Meal
Time
to
the
employee
time
once
their
shift
exceeds
the
Active
After
interval,
which
is
useful
for
cases
where
employees
are
paid
for
lunch
but
you
also
want
to
have
them
punch
in/out
for
tracking
purposes.
Setting
Type
to
Normal
simply
means
that
meal
policies
are
simply
used
to
determine
the
lunchtime
an
employee
is
expected
to
take
for
scheduling
purposes.
Setting Type to either Auto-‐Deduct or Auto-‐Add will also reveal two other settings:
• Include
Any
Punched
Time
for
Meal
–
checking
this
box
will
cause
TimeTrex
to
adjust
the
mealtime
by
the
difference
between
what
an
employee
punches
and
what
the
meal
policy
defines.
This
is
useful
for
cases
where
you
pay
employees
for
a
30-‐minute
lunch,
but
still
have
them
punch
in
and
punch
out
so
you
can
track
if
they
take
more
then
30
minutes
but
do
not
want
to
pay
them
for
any
time
that
exceeds
the
30-‐minute
interval.
Consider
this
example:
you
want
to
pay
employees
for
a
maximum
30-‐minute
lunch.
With
a
30-‐minute
Auto-‐Add
meal
policy,
when
an
employee
punches
out
for
a
30-‐
minute
lunch,
they
will
not
(by
default)
be
paid
for
that
time.
However,
TimeTrex
will
then
add
30
minutes
to
their
total
paid
time,
so
that
they
are
paid
for
a
lunch.
Subsequently,
if
the
employee
punches
out
for
separate
45-‐minute
lunch,
TimeTrex
will
still
only
add
30
minutes
of
paid
time,
so
they
will
not
be
paid
for
an
extra
15
minutes
that
they
took
for
lunch.
• Deduction/Addition
Time
–
this
is
the
amount
of
time
that
will
Auto-‐Add
or
Auto-‐
Deduct.
Active
After
–
this
is
the
amount
of
time
that
a
shift
must
exceed
before
this
meal
policy
is
activated.
For
example,
an
employee
might
punch
in
for
only
4
hours
and
then
punch
out
to
go
home
sick,
you
may
not
want
to
deduct
the
usual
1-‐hour
lunch
from
their
shift.
In
such
as
case,
you
could
set
the
Active
After
to
5:00
(5
hours),
so
that
a
lunch
deduction
won't
occur
unless
an
employee
works
at
least
5
hours.
As
with
an
Overtime
Polic,
you
can
also
specify
multiple
meal
policies,
each
having
a
different
Active
After
interval.
You
can
configure
it
Meal
Time
–
when
Type
is
set
to
Auto-‐Add
or
Auto-‐Deduct,
this
interval
defines
the
length
of
time
that
will
add
or
deduct
from
the
total
shift
time
for
all
employees
to
whom
this
policy
applies.
Auto-‐Detect
Meals
By
–
this
setting
determines
how
TimeTrex
will
attempt
to
auto-‐detect
meals.
Choosing
Punch
Time
means
that
TimeTrex
will
use
a
minimum
and
maximum
value
to
constrain
the
interval
that
an
employee
may
take
for
a
meal.
You
must
then
specify
two
additional
values,
Minimum
Punch
Time
and
Maximum
Punch
Time.
Choosing
Time
Window
will
cause
a
meal
deduction
relative
to
the
first
punch
of
the
shift
for
an
employee.
You
must
then
specify
two
additional
values:
• Start
Window
–
is
the
amount
of
time
that
must
elapse
after
the
employees'
first
punch
before
their
next
punch
is
defaulted
to
lunch.
For
example
if
an
employee
punches
in
at
8:00
AM
and
usually
goes
for
lunch
between
11:00
AM
and
1:00
PM,
setting
the
start
window
to
03:00
(3
hours)
would
cause
TimeTrex
to
interpret
any
punch
that
happens
3
hours
after
the
first
punch
as
being
a
Lunch
type.
• Window
Length
–
this
is
the
length
of
time
after
the
Start
Window
that
TimeTrex
continues
to
default
punches
to
lunch.
Once
outside
this
window,
punches
will
default
to
"Normal".
For
example
if
an
employee
normally
starts
their
lunch
within
a
2-‐hour
window
(say,
between
11:00
AM
and
1:00
PM),
then
you
would
set
this
value
to
02:00
(2
hours).
Break
policies
function
almost
identically
to
Meal
Polic.
The
one
difference
is
this:
if
you
specify
multiple
break
policies,
each
one
activates
once
actual
break
time
matches
the
Active
After
interval.
(With
multiple
meal
policies,
TimeTrex
will
only
use
the
one
that
exceeds
the
Active
After
time.)
This
feature
gives
you
the
flexibility
of
configuring
multiple
breaks,
each
having
a
different
interval.
Please
see
the
Meal
Polic
section
for
more
details
on
each
settings,
all
of
which
have
an
explanation
in
that
section.
Here are the definitions for the settings within this policy type:
Type
–
specifies
the
interval
in
which
the
overtime
calculations
are
done.
For
instance,
if
you
set
a
Daily
overtime
policy,
TimeTrex
only
looks
at
the
work
time
in
a
single
24-‐hour
day.
If
it
is
a
Weekly
policy,
TimeTrex
will
calculate
against
a
7-‐day
week.
Active
After
–
the
amount
of
time
an
employee
must
work
within
the
interval
set
in
Type
before
this
overtime
policy
triggers.
For
a
Type
=
Daily
policy,
if
you
want
any
work
time
that
exceeds
8
hours
to
count
as
overtime,
you
would
set
this
value
of
Active
After
to
8:00
(8
hours).
For
a
Weekly
policy,
you
might
set
this
value
to
40:00
(40
hours).
Rate
–
the
pay
rate
that
the
employee
will
receive
for
any
hours
matching
the
overtime
policy
criteria.
Examples:
1.00
is
their
regular
rate,
1.50
is
time
and
half,
2.00
is
double
time.
Wage
Group
–
specifies
the
wage
group
to
use
when
calculating
the
overtime
rate
for
cases
in
which
you
may
want
to
specify
a
custom
rate
for
each
employee,
or
a
rate
completely
separate
from
the
default
rate
for
an
employee.
Pay
Stub
Account
–
this
is
Pay
Stub
that
supports
the
pay
stub
for
any
hours
that
match
this
overtime
policy.
If
you
have
multiple
overtime
policies,
we
recommend
that
you
use
different
accounts
for
each
so
they
clearly
itemize
on
pay
stubs
and
reports.
Deposit
to
Accrual
Policy
–
sets
the
Accrual
Policies
by
which
overtime
hours
will
deposit,
which
is
especially
important
where
time
banks
are
in
place.
Overtime
can
be
simultaneously
paid
out
and
deposited
into
an
accrual
policy.
If
you
only
want
to
deposit
overtime
hours
to
an
accrual
policy,
simply
set
the
Rate
to
0,
which
will
cause
TimeTrex
to
not
pay
out
any
overtime
that
might
match
this
criteria.
Accrual
Rate
–
the
rate
in
which
hours
deposit
to
the
accrual
policy.
To
bank
time
at
double
time
(instead
of
paying
it
out),
you
would
set
Accrual
Rate
to
2.00
and
set
Rate
to
0.00.
Below
we
will
explain
the
different
Types
of
premium
policies
and
the
settings
for
each.
Here
are
the
definitions
for
the
settings
on
the
Premium
Policy
tab:
Minimum
Time
–
The
minimum
amount
of
premium
time
that
the
employee
will
receive.
For
example
if
you
set
the
minimum
to
04:00
(4
hours)
and
an
employee
only
punches
in
for
2
hours,
they
will
still
receive
4
hours
of
premium
time.
Include
Meal
Policy
in
Calculation
–
Check
this
box
to
specify
that
any
meal
policy
time
will
be
part
of
the
premium
time
calculation.
For
example,
if
you
enable
this
option
and
a
meal
policy
automatically
deducts
30
minutes
of
lunchtime
from
each
employee,
that
30
minutes
will
also
deduct
from
any
premium
time
that
the
employee
receives.
Include
Break
Policy
in
Calculation
–
Check
this
box
to
specify
that
any
break
policy
time
will
be
part
of
the
premium
time
calculation.
Pay
Type
–
Here
you
can
choose
the
formula
to
use
when
paying
employees
for
premium
time.
If
you
choose
Pay
Multiplied
By
Factor,
you
also
enter
a
Rate
that
is
the
multiplier
for
the
regular
hourly
rate
of
the
employee.
If
instead
you
choose
Pay
+
Premium,
you
also
enter
a
Premium
amount
that
adds
to
the
regular
hourly
rate
of
the
employee.
Choosing
Flat
Hourly
Rate
will
mean
that
a
flat
hourly
rate
will
replace
the
regular
rate
for
the
employees
to
which
this
policy
applies.
Since
employees
always
get
their
regular
rate
regardless
of
premium
time,
the
flat
hourly
rate
is
relative
to
their
regular
rate.
So,
if
you
set
this
value
to
be
less
than
the
regular
rate,
there
may
be
a
negative
line
item
amount
on
their
pay
stub
to
account
for
the
difference.
If
this
is
set
to
a
value
higher
than
regular
rate,
the
premium
line
item
on
the
employees
pay
stub
will
only
show
the
difference
between
the
two
rates.
For
example,
if
the
employee
is
paid
$10/hour
as
their
regular
rate
and
the
flat
hourly
rate
for
the
premium
is
$15/hour,
TimeTrex
will
calculate
$5/hour
as
the
premium
rate.
For
the
Flat
Hourly
Rate
setting,
you
will
also
need
to
choose
a
Wage
Group.
Pay
Stub
Account
–
This
is
where
you
set
the
account
for
the
pay
stub
to
cover
any
hours
that
match
this
premium
policy.
We
recommend
that
you
use
a
different
pay
stub
account
for
each
premium
policy
that
uses
a
different
rate
of
pay.
Accrual
Policy
–
You
can
choose
an
accrual
policy
that
governs
the
depositing
of
premium
hours.
This
is
primarily
useful
for
time
banks.
Premium
time
can
both
pay
out
and
deposit
to
an
accrual
policy
at
the
same
time.
If
you
wish
to
only
deposit
premium
hours
to
an
accrual
policy,
simply
set
the
Rate
to
0,
which
will
cause
TimeTrex
to
cancel
the
pay
out
of
any
premium
time
that
matches
this
criteria.
There
are
many
types
of
premium
policies:
Date/Time,
Shift
Differential,
Meal/Break,
Callback,
Minimum
Shift
Time,
Holiday,
and
Advanced.
When
you
choose
a
Type,
there
are
options
(on
the
main
tab
and
the
other
tabs)
that
you
should
consider.
• Start
Date
–
The
date
on
which
this
policy
becomes
active.
If
you
don’t
specify
a
date,
then
the
policy
is
always
active
with
respect
to
start
and
end
dates.
• End
Date
–
The
date
on
which
this
policy
becomes
inactive.
If
you
don’t
specify
a
date,
then
the
policy
is
always
active
with
respect
to
start
and
end
dates.
• Start
Time
–
The
time
at
which
this
policy
becomes
active.
This
is
especially
useful
for
setting
evening
shift
premiums.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
• End
Time
–
The
time
at
which
this
policy
becomes
inactive.
• Include
Partial
Lunches
–
Check
this
box
to
allow
partial
punches
to
match
this
policy.
For
example,
consider
a
case
where
the
start
time
is
set
to
6:00
PM
and
an
employee
punches
in
at
10:00
AM
and
then
punches
out
at
7:00
PM.
If
you
don’t
enable
this
feature
then
the
employee
punch
will
not
match
the
criteria
for
this
policy
and
employee
will
not
receive
any
premium
time.
However,
if
you
do
enable
this
feature,
then
partial
punches
may
count
towards
premium
time,
such
that
the
employee
would
receive
premium
time
from
6:00
PM
to
7:00
PM
only,
or
one
hour
in
total.
• Active
After
Daily
(Regular)
Hours
–
The
minimum
amount
of
regular
time
that
an
employee
must
work
in
a
given
day
before
this
policy
activates.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
• Active
After
Weekly
(Regular)
Hours
–
The
minimum
amount
of
regular
time
that
an
employee
must
work
in
a
given
week
before
this
policy
activates.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
• Effective
Days
–
Here
you
will
check
off
the
days
of
the
week
for
which
this
policy
is
to
be
active.
This
is
especially
useful
for
weekend
premiums.
Shift Differential
Shift
differential
policies
enable
you
to
pay
employees
different
rates
depending
on
which
branch,
department,
job,
job
group,
task
or
task
group
they
work.
• Selection
Type
–
defines
the
selection
criteria
for
each
field.
Either
"All",
"Only
Selected",
or
"All
Except
Selected".
If
you
choose
either
"Only
Selected"
or
"All
Except
Selected"
you
should
also
select
one
or
more
items
in
the
select

Choosing
this
type
allows
you
to
define
the
maximum
time
that
an
employee
may
work
without
a
break
before
they
receive
additional
compensation.
• Active
After
Daily
Hours
–
The
minimum
amount
of
regular
time
that
an
employee
must
work
in
a
given
day
before
this
policy
activates.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
• Maximum
Time
Without
a
Break
–
The
maximum
amount
of
time
that
an
employee
can
work
without
lunch
or
a
break.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
• Minimum
Time
Recognized
As
a
Break
–
The
minimum
amount
of
time
that
an
employee
must
take
for
lunch
or
break
before
it
counts
as
a
lunch
or
break
and
excludes
the
employee
from
this
policy.
For
example
for
this
policy
to
define
that
if
an
employee
doesn't
take
at
least
a
30
minute
break
after
working
4
hours,
they
get
paid
for
one
additional
hour,
you
can
set
this
value
to
30
minutes
so
if
they
only
take
a
15
minute
break
they
will
still
get
paid
for
one
additional
hour.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
Callback
Choosing
this
type
will
mean
that
you
can
compensate
employee
for
callbacks
to
work
before
the
amount
of
time
you
specify
elapses
between
two
successive
shifts.
• Minimum
Time
Between
Shifts
–
The
minimum
amount
of
that
must
elapse
between
shifts.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
• First
Shift
Must
Be
At
Least
–
The
amount
of
time
that
the
first
shift
must
exceed
before
this
policy
activates.
Enter
the
value
in
HH:MM
format.
By
choosing
this
type,
you
can
make
a
simple
policy
of
the
minimum
amount
of
time
that
an
employee
will
receive
each
shift.
• Minimum
Shift
Time
–
The
minimum
shift
time
that
an
employee
will
receive.
For
example,
if
this
value
is
set
to
04:00
(4
hours)
and
the
employee
punches
out
for
one
Advanced
This
type
is
a
combination
of
the
Date/Time
and
Shift
Differential
types.
You
will
see
these
two
tabs
appear,
and
you
can
set
the
options
on
both
tabs.
Severity
–
Here
you
may
define
the
severity
level
for
each
type
of
exception.
We
recommend
that
you
only
use
the
critical
severity
level
for
exceptions
that
must
get
a
correction
before
processing
payroll.
An
example
would
be
missing
in
or
out
punches,
or
missing
lunch
punches.
If
you
do
apply
the
critical
setting
to
some
key
policies,
it
can
be
easier
for
payroll
administrators
to
have
confidence
in
knowing
when
payroll
is
fully
ready
for
processing.
There
are
four
severity
levels:
Low,
Medium,
High,
and
Critical.
Grace
–
Grace
periods
on
things
like
In
Late,
and
Out
Early.
For
example,
if
an
employee
is
1
minute
late,
he
won’t
trigger
the
exception
if
the
Grace
period
is
set
to
10
minutes.
Watch
Window
–
This
is
the
amount
of
time
that
TimeTrex
will
monitor
this
exception.
For
example
if
this
setting
for
In
Early
is
set
to
01:00
(1
hour)
and
the
employee
is
1.5
hours
early,
an
exception
will
not
trigger;
but
if
they
are
only
30
minutes
early
then
the
exception
will
not
trigger.
Email
Notification
–
Here
you
may
choose
who
will
receive
an
email
alert
when
each
an
exception
triggers.
To
receive
these
emails,
these
employees
must
also
enable
email
notifications
in
their
preferences.
In
order
to
notify
a
supervisor
of
an
exception
for
one
of
their
subordinates,
both
the
employee
and
supervisor
must
be
belong
to
a
Hierarchy
with
the
Exception
object
type.
One option is always to be found on the Accrual Policy tab:
Display
Balance
on
Pay
Stub
–
Check
this
box
to
print
the
current
accrual
balance
on
the
employee
pay
stub.
Standard
This accrual policy establishes a simple time bank where hours can deposit or withdraw.
Choosing
this
type
is
similar
to
the
standard
accrual
policy,
except
that
time
deposits
into
the
bank
on
a
regular
interval
(weekly,
monthly,
and
so
on)
to
correspond
with
the
length
of
service
milestones.
• Frequency
(for
Calendar
Based
only)
–
Your
choice
here
will
define
how
often
time
deposits
into
each
employees
accrual
account.
If
you
chose
Annually,
Monthly
or
Weekly,
a
specific
date
must
also
be
set.
• After
Minimum
Employed
Days
–
This
is
the
amount
of
time
that
an
employee
must
hold
employment
before
they
become
eligible
for
this
accrual
policy.
Once
the
employee
has
sufficient
employment,
TimeTrex
will
start
accruing
time
from
zero
and
it
will
not
go
back
and
calculate
a
larger
deposit
to
account
for
lost
time
due
to
the
minimum
employment
time.
• Milestone
Rollover
Based
On
–
This
is
the
date
from
which
the
length
of
service
calculates.
This
can
be
either
the
Employee’s
Hire
Date,
or
specific
Day
of
a
particular
Month.

or
in
the
case
of
salaried
employees
Docked
from

completely
separate
from
the
default
rate
for
an
employee.
Accrual
Policy
–
You
can
choose
an
accrual
policy
that
governs
the
depositing
of
absence
hours.
This
is
primarily
useful
for
time
banks.
Absent
time
can
both
pay
out
and
deposit
to
an
accrual
policy
at
the
same
time.
If
you
wish
to
only
deposit
absence
hours
to
an
accrual
policy,
simply
set
the
Rate
to
0,
which
will
cause
TimeTrex
to
cancel
the
pay
out
of
any
absence
time
that
matches
this
criteria.
Accrual
Rate
–
the
rate
in
which
absence
hours
will
deposit
to
the
accrual
policy.
To
bank
time
at
double
time
(instead
of
paying
