Pay Types

Pay types are categories of payment companies use to organize employee hours. For example, normal working hours are categorized as a Regular pay type. If the employee worked overtime, those hours would be indicated as Overtime. Typical pay types include categories such as: Regular, Overtime, Sick, Vacation or PTOClosed Paid time off — In general, a benefit in which the employee is paid while they are not working. Categories of PTO are vacation, sick, holiday, bereavement, and so on., Jury, and so on. There is no limit to the number of pay types you can have in Time Management. You can also determine if the pay rate should be higher or lower than standard pay. This allows all hours worked in Overtime, for example, to earn double the standard rate.

Pay types are used for reporting and for transferring employee’s timecard hours, quantity, or dollar pay types to your payroll system. It is important that the Payroll Code for your Time Management pay types match the codes in your payroll system.

Your Time Management site comes preconfigured with the following pay types:

  • REG — Regular
  • OT1 — Overtime (time-and-a-half)
  • OT2 — Overtime 2 (double-time)
  • ABS — Absent
