Enter Default Timesheets - Benefits Tab

Access this tab using Timesheets>Enter Default Timesheets. It is only available with the Payroll module; it is not available for Payroll Link users.

Use this tab to enter default benefit information for an employee. Benefit information includes a Benefit Code, a Rate, and an Amount (if required for the calculation method).

 

Benefits Table

• Code: Select a benefit code. Select as many benefits as are appropriate for this employee.
• Calculation Method: The system displays an abbreviation of the calculation method for each benefit code selected.
• Rate: The system displays a percentage, if the Fixed Percentage of Earnings (FP) calculation method was selected for the benefit. Enter an amount if the calculation method is Percentage on Timesheet (PT). The percentage you enter must be positive or zero, however it cannot exceed the Maximum Percentage set on the Maintain>Payroll>Benefit Codes form.
• Amount: The system displays an amount if a Fixed Hourly Amount (FH) or Fixed Amount (FA) calculation method was selected for the benefit. Enter an amount if the calculation method is Amount on Timesheet (AT). The amount you enter can be positive, negative, or zero. (Use the minus key or the space bar to enter a negative amount.)

Total Hours: This is the employee's total for the Hours column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Gross Pay: This is the employee's total for the Amount column entered on the Earnings tab, excluding any Earnings Code that is "Contribute to Net Pay Only."

Calculation methods were assigned to benefit codes using Maintain>Payroll>Benefit Codes. Therefore, benefit information for codes with a calculation method of Fixed Amount (FA), Fixed Percentage of Earnings (FP), Fixed Hourly Amount (FH), and Amount on Timesheet (AT), were entered on the Benefit Codes form.
