Status Rules tab#
- Status

- Timesheet Required
- If the Timesheet Required toggle is ON, employees are required to submit some kind of record (paper or electronic) of their work and/or attendance. The payroll application exceptions will report employees whose information is unconfirmed, and manual data entry forms will prompt the user to confirm that they have received the employee's timesheet record. If the Timesheet Required toggle is OFF, the user will not see any confirmation checking, reporting, or prompting.
- Regular Time Code
- This field shows the time code that normal time is to be paid out under.
- Salary $ Code
- This field shows the time code that salaried employees are to be paid out under.
- Time Generation Rule
- This field indicates the type of time transactions that must be generated for a person.
- Choosing one of the time transactions will insert separate transactions for each distribution code attached to the assignment that has a split rule of 'Pick List'.
- All PTR records created will have ZERO time and this logic is invoked ONLY for a pay type of 'Hourly'
- When UPTG generates the pay transactions, the system will generate one transaction per assignment per distribution code on the list. The pay transaction will be overridden with the proper rate and complete GL distribution code.
- For example, if UPTG is run for an employee with three assignments and each assignment has three distribution records defined on IEAS, we would expect to see nine transaction records in IPTR per week, or eighteen records per pay period.
- Employees can work in multiple locations (GL Distributions) at multiple rates of pay on multiple time sheets. These enhancements are required to accurately record the time and pay the employee.
- ‘Create by Period’ will still be split into more than one transaction when the period crosses over the end of a month or a holiday is generated.
- Time Gen. Destination
- This field allows you define where the programs are going to be run from.
- Generate Holidays
- If the Generate Holidays toggle is ON, holiday hours will be generated. If the toggle is OFF, no holiday hours will be generated.
