Time and Labor Units of Measure

You can create payroll and custom time attributes to store and display quantities as hours, days, or units.

• Use hours-based time entries to reflect how to pay, cost, and bill worked and calculated time. For example:

  • 8 hours of regular time per work day
  • 8 hours of public holiday time for what would otherwise be a regular work day
  • 10 hours of regular time per work day that calculation rules converted into 8 hours of regular time and 2 hours of overtime
  • 7 hours of regular time per work day spent on project A, and 1 hour of regular time spent on miscellaneous administration
  • 8 hours of regular time per work day for 2 days, and 8 hours of absence for 3 days
• Use days-based time entries to measure absences, for example, 4 days of personal time off.

• Use units-based time entries to assign people a flat payment amount. For example:

  • Pay people 25 USD for each meal taken, up to three meals per day.
  • Pay people an extra 100 USD for each worked shift where they were in charge and handled related duties.

Here are the units of measure that you can include on various time layouts:

• You can include both hours-based and units-based time card fields on these layouts: time entry, review, view, approval notification, calendar entry, and responsive UI.
• You can use only hours-based time attributes to create the web clock buttons on the web clock layout. You can optionally include hours-based and units-based fields on the web clock layout.
• You can include only hours-based fields for the shift layout.
