Start Generate Recurring Labor Entries

Purpose:

This function may be used to generate labor journal entries for workers that typically record a standard number of hours to a particular job or jobs. These journal entries may then be edited if needed. This function also supports expenses entered on the Employee Recurring Other tab for expenses that will be applied to a job and reimbursed to the employee on his or her payroll check. Managerial, IT or administrative workers whose hours are always applied to overhead jobs would be good candidates for this function.

The Bonus Amount field on the Employee's Recurring Wages tab may be used to pay flat per-period amounts such as Car Allowances. It will be written to the corresponding Bonus field in the Labor Journal when this function is run.  If the Bonus Amount field is completed, the Hours field should be blank, and an appropriate Pay Type must be selected (Hours Type and Category should both be set to Other).

Usage:

This function uses the Recurring Wages tab of the Employee record to determine the hours that should be applied to the selected payroll period. The days specified on the Recurring Wages tab should map to the time period covered by the payroll period. If the Start/End Dates of the Recurring lines on the Employee record intersect at ANY point within the Period Start/End (work) dates, then the line qualifies as "eligible" for this function.

Operation Lockdown:
If the Cost Category’s Job Use field (All, Direct or Indirect) conflicts with the status of the Overhead field in the Job record, a warning/error will be displayed, and the Labor Journal transaction(s) will not be added. Typically, a suitable Cost Category should be selected on the Employee Recurring Wages/Recurring Other tabs before rerunning this function.

The system will not allow you to generate hours to a payroll period / employee that has already been paid.

The Generate Recurring Labor Entries function checks this field against the Cycle Code that you entered on the Recurring Wages tab of the Employee Record. It is recommended that a Cycle Code always be specified when running this function.

If you are an Executive Payroll user, this field will default to Y; to run this function for all employees (Executive or not) clear this range. If your User record is not flagged as Executive Payroll, you will only be able to run this function for other non-Executive users even if you clear the filter.
