Examples: Activating Split Time
These are examples of how the system allocates labor charges among accounts based on labor distribution instructions or the Split Time feature.
Example 1: Labor distribution instructions set up at the employee level using the percentage method as shown in this table. Split Time is activated.
Pay Code |
Description |
Hours or Percent |
Account # |
|---|---|---|---|
1 |
Regular |
60 |
9.8115 |
1 |
Regular |
40 |
9.8118 |
On the Time Entry Revisions form, when 40 hours is entered for pay code 801, the system automatically supplies this allocation because the Split Time feature is activated:
Pay Code |
Description |
Hours |
Account # |
|---|---|---|---|
801 |
Vacation |
24 |
9.8115 |
801 |
Vacation |
16 |
9.8118 |
For any pay code entered (including pay code 1) on the Time Entry Revisions form, the system supplies the hours and account number from the labor distribution instructions. The system does not supply the pay code or change the pay code that was entered.
When time is entered you must copy the labor distribution instructions for the employee if the Split Time processing option is not activated. The time is then allocated according to the labor distribution instructions. Only the pay type set up on the labor distribution instructions is allocated on the Time Entry Revisions form.
Example 2: Labor distribution instructions are set up at the employee level using the percentage method. Split Time is not activated.
On the Time Entry Revisions form, when 40 hours is added for pay code 801, the system does not allocate time charged to pay code 801 because the labor distribution instructions were set up to allocate charges to pay code 1 and the Split Time feature is not activated:
Pay Code |
Description |
Hours |
Account # |
|---|---|---|---|
801 |
Vacation |
40 |
9.8118 |
When you add 40 hours for pay code 801 on the Time Entry Revisions form and then select copy labor distribution instructions, the system prompts you for the number of hours to charge and allocates those hours of regular pay based on the labor distribution instructions:
Pay Code |
Description |
Hours |
Account # |
|---|---|---|---|
1 |
Regular |
24 |
9.8115 |
1 |
Regular |
16 |
9.8118 |
801 |
Vacation |
40 |
9.8118 |
The vacation pay code is not split because the labor distribution instructions specified only regular pay (pay code 1).
These are suggestions for using the labor distribution instructions and the Split Time feature:
Use Split Time when you want to split every pay code according to either labor distribution instructions or position control.
Enter a batch of timecards with the Split Time feature activated, and then deactivate Split Time and enter additional timecards.
