Issue/Symptom/Question

There are two new required fields on the Employee Master screen.  We cannot find these fields referenced in the online documentation. What functionality is driven with these two new fields?

Full or Part Time

Actual or Proxy Hours Worked

Applies To

 PENTA for Windows

Versions 20.4 and 21.1

Payroll >  Employees > Employee Payroll Information

Resolution/Fix/Answer

These fields were added as a required section in v 20.4 and v 21.1 upgrade due to a mandatory change for reporting hours that went into effect in 2016 by the EEOC.  These fields are no longer required and Penta does not actively use these fields for any functionality.  They are auto-populated to F (full-time) and A (actual) and will not influence any customer reporting.
