PPC_ID_TIME is a 10 digit numerical field used to store the [pay component|PAY COMPONENTS] code that will store the “time” result of the premium calculation. Users may wish to use this field if time is stored separately as a result of premium transactions. An employee has worked 8 hours in one night shift. A transaction for the 8 regular hours has been entered, and a night shift premium will be applied. If the company requires that the 8 hours of premium time be recorded in a separate area for tracking reasons, a [pay component|PAY COMPONENT] may be entered in this field. Result: 8 hours regular time, 8 hours premium time If the company requires only that 8 hours of regular time be recorded (relying on the earnings pay components to track the premium paid), leave the time [pay component|PAY COMPONENTS] blank. Result: 8 hours regular time.
