Hour Classification Codes

Overview:

Use the Hours Classification Codes window to define parameters for an Hour Classification Code for the different types of hours worked. Examples include: direct labor on job cost, vacation, sick time, and jury duty. You can specify attributes for each Hour Classification Code (e.g., default expense account) and indicate whether PENTA includes these hours on union reports or if PENTA includes them on the basis of overtime conversion rules.

Linking a Paid Time Off Category Code to an Hour Classification Code will reduce the outstanding Paid Time Off balance by the hours entered with the Paid Time Off Category Code. This allows you to maintain a current Paid Time Off balance for each employee and Paid Time Off Category Code.

Benefits:

• Allows for defaulting various information on timecards such as Organizational Unit, Account, Paid Time Off Category Code, etc.
• Hour Classifications determine which hours should be reported to unions, and which are included in the basis for Fringe Benefit calculations
• For Canadian payroll, you can set up Hour Classification Codes as eligible for overtime banking, ROE, and Employment Insurance (Earnings and Hours)
• Optionally print a summary of hours worked broken down by Hour Classification Code on the employee check stub

Roles:

• Payroll Manager
