Chapter 14: Attendance Transactions............................................................
Use the Attendance Transaction Entry window to enter adjusting
transactions and time and attendance transactions. Enter adjusting
transactions to create beginning amounts of time or to change employees’
existing time balances. Adjusting entries aren’t posted to the general ledger.
You can enter time and attendance transactions to record the way your
employees have spent their time during the week.
This information is divided into the following sections:
- Using attendance
- Entering or adjusting available attendance hours
- Creating an attendance transaction
- Adjusting or deleting an attendance transaction
- Accruing attendance transactions
Using attendance
If you chose to accrue benefit time using attendance in the Attendance
Setup window, you should enter all transactions that track employee time
in the Attendance Transaction Entry window. Hourly, vacation and sick
transactions track employee time. Use the Payroll Transaction Entry
window to enter other transactions, such as commission, bonus and
expense transactions.
If you accrue benefit time using attendance and accrue by post once,
interval or pay period, you only need to enter benefit transactions for
salaried employees. For example, suppose a salaried employee worked 32
hours and took 8 hours of vacation time. You would enter a transaction for
only the 8 vacation hours—not the 32 hours.
If you chose to accrue using Payroll in the Attendance Setup window, you
should enter all transactions in the Payroll Transaction Entry window. Use
the following table to determine which windows to use when entering
attendance transactions.
