Use the Timesheets tab to set up posting, job costing, benefit accrual, and Payroll interface options for Timesheets.
Contents
Posting Options
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Consolidate timesheet postings by Employee and Work Breakdown Structure
|
Select this check box if you want to consolidate the posting of timesheets. This means that if the same employee charges time to the same project, task, and labor code combination, only one line displays for that employee on the posting log. Timesheet postings cannot be consolidated when cost rate tables are enabled.
|
| Preserve comments when consolidating timesheet postings
|
Select this check box if you want to preserve the comments for consolidated timesheets. When you select this option, all timesheets with the same employee, project, task, labor code, and comments are consolidated. If a timesheet line has a different comment specified, the timesheet line is not consolidated; each comment is listed individually.
Vision supports unlimited text in the
Timesheet Comments field if you select this check box.

Job Costing
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Job Cost Frequency
|
If you use the Adjust Salaried Job Cost feature, select the frequency that you want to use to adjust job cost amounts for salaried employees. This usually matches your payroll frequency.
|
| Allow job cost rates to be salaries
|
Select this check box if you want to specify salaried rates and hourly rates in the
Job Cost Rate field on the Accounting tab of the Employee Info Center. If this option is enabled, a
Type field displays on the Employee Info Center Accounting tab. On the Accounting tab you can specify whether the rate is a salaried rate or an hourly rate.
|
| Include overtime hours in job cost calculation
|
This check box applies if you use the Adjust Salaried Job Cost feature. When you select this check box, you enter overtime hours separately from regular hours on timesheets. Overtime hours from timesheets are included in the Adjust Salaried Job Cost calculations.
|
| Maximum Hourly Rate
|
If you selected the
Allow job cost rates to be salaries check box, you must enter a maximum hourly rate here. This is the maximum hourly rate to use when you enter hourly job cost rates on the Accounting tab of the Employee Info Center. If an hourly job cost rate exceeds the max hourly rate entered here, you receive a warning that the rate may not be appropriate for the job cost type. This field ensures that a salary is not entered with the hourly option.

Benefit Accrual
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Accrue benefit hours when payroll is processed
|
Select this check box if you want benefit accruals to be automatically performed whenever you process a regular payroll.
This field is available only if the Payroll application is installed.

| Benefit Accrual Frequency

Select one of the following options from the drop-down list to indicate how often you plan to accrue benefit hours:
-
Monthly — This accrues benefit hours once a month.
-
Semi-monthly — This accrues benefit hours twice a month.
-
Biweekly — This accrues benefit hours every two weeks.
-
Weekly — This accrues benefit hours once a week.
Annual benefit accrual hours are prorated based on the selection that you make. For example, if you choose
