Method 3

The system removes time from and changes every timecard in the accumulation period on a prorated basis. The prorated basis is a percentage, which is calculated by dividing the amount of time on each individual timecard by the total time during the accumulation period. The system creates one new timecard for each original timecard with the corresponding prorated number of hours. The new timecards use the same data as the original timecards, with the exception of the pay type and rate, that is specified in the accumulator rule. You might use this charge-to method if you need to allocate overtime to all timecards, regardless of when it was earned.

For example, for the warehouse employee in the previous examples, the system removes a percentage of the three hours of overtime from each original timecard based on the percentage of total time that each original timecard represents. The system changes the original timecards to reflect the percentage of time removed. The system creates new timecards for those three hours based on the percentage of total time that the original timecard represents.

This table illustrates the number of hours included on the timecards before and after processing:

Original Timecard Hours	New Regular Timecard Hours	New Overtime Timecard Hours
8	7.43	.57
10	9.34	.66
9	8.37	.63
8	7.43	.57
8	7.43	.57
