Employees may have more than one position for which they must enter time and attendance information separately.

Important: If an employee position is added using this functionality, it will only be maintained in the Time & Attendance module. Any information associated with this position will not be sent to any other products. However, all information will be available for editing in the Time & Attendance module. This functionality is typically used for contract employees.

To add a new position for an existing employee:

  1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Maintenance.

    Note : If the Maintenance option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

  2. Under the Employee heading on the Maintenance page, click the Employee Positions (or Employees) link.

  3. On the Employee Positions page, click the Select button (next to the Find button) to open the Employee ID Lookup window. Select the employee to whom you want to add a new position.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add New Position... link. A new Employee Position section will display with the General link already selected.

  5. Click the edit_report.gif button to open the Assign User Position window. Select a position from the list and click Apply. The new position name and code will appear in the Employee Position header.

Note: If there is no position name and code listed for this position, you can add it on the fly at the bottom of the window. However, it will only be added for this employee and not added permanently to the position codes list.

  1. Enter the following general employee information. All fields displaying a red arrow (Required Field) are required fields and cannot be left blank.

Employee ID

This is a required field, Although this employee already has an Employee ID for another position, a new ID must be entered to identify the employee with this new position. Typically, the ID is a combination of the company code and file number.

Pay Class

This is a required field. Click the Select button next to the Pay Class field then select the appropriate pay class.

Badge

If required by your company, you can add a badge number.

Shift Rule

Click the Select button next to the Shift Rule field then select the appropriate employee shift rule.

Transfer to Payroll

If necessary, check or uncheck the Transfer to Payroll box. In most cases, this box should be checked so that the employee's pay data totals are transferred to payroll. However, if an employee was terminated and given a final paycheck on the last day of employment, then you should uncheck this box so that the employee is not paid again when regular payroll is processed.

Payroll Company Code

Click the Select button next to the Payroll Company Code field then select the appropriate payroll company code.

File Number

Enter a new file number. Your payroll processing program uses this number to identify the employee.

Note: Depending upon how your system is configured, this field may be labeled Payroll ID.

Labor Charge Fields

If necessary, enter the employee's default labor charge categories.  To do this, click the Select next to each labor charge field then select the appropriate labor charge value.

Is Supervisor?

This box should only be checked if the employee is a manager.

Supervisor

If the employee reports to a manager, click the Select button next to the Supervisor field then select the appropriate supervisor.

Status

Select the appropriate status from the list:

  • Employee is Active

  • Employee is Inactive

  • Employee Scheduled for Termination

Wage Rates

Wage Rate Program: If the employee's wage rate program needs to be added, click the Select button next to the Wage Rate Program field, then select the appropriate wage rate program. If you do not enter a wage rate in this field, the application uses the wage rate program defined in the employee's pay class.

Overide Pay Class: If you want to prevent the application from ever using the wage rate program defined in the employee's pay class, select the Override Pay Class check box. This check box is available only if you make a valid entry in the Wage Rate Program field.

  1. Click the Submit button to save the new position.
