Summary

In general H. Hourly type allowances are used for payments such as ordinary time and overtime to be included in the Hours Worked Summary Report.

This calculation method differs according to whether an employee is salaried or waged.

The transaction total is calculated by:

(The lesser of Adjusted Quantity or Max quantity) * Rate * Factor

Salaried or Waged?

The Payment Type field in the Payments tab page of an employee record displays whether an employee is salaried or waged.

Adjusted Quantity

• Salaried Employees

  Adjusted Quantity = Employee Profiled Hours * Number of Weeks in Pay Period

  Employee Profiled Hours are displayed in Payments tab page of an employee record.

• Waged Employees

  Adjusted Quantity = Ordinary Hours + Overtime Hours

  PayGlobal finds the sum of all transaction quantities from the current pay.

Max quantity

The value of the maximum quantity for each transaction is set in the Max quantity field in the Details (i) tab page of the allowance. This places a limit on the Quantity field when creating an allowance in Transaction View.

If this field is left blank, then no maximum will apply.

Note

This calculation method derives the quantity using the sum of all Hour type transactions in the pay period.

The remaining fields work in the traditional manner, using the derived quantity to arrive at a transaction total.

We recommend that the quantity is entered as a unit of '1'. This is because PayGlobal recalculates the quantity during processing, therefore it does not matter which quantity is entered initially.

Rate

As entered in the transaction.

Factor

As entered in the transaction.
