Shop-Trak Defining Payroll Parameters

Use the Payroll tab of the Shop-Trak Parameters form to maintain the information needed for controlling overtime processing and how payroll log hours are created.

To define Payroll parameters:

1. Open the Shop-Trak Parameters form.
2. Click the Payroll tab.
3. Specify this information:

• Summarize Hours - Select this check box to summarize multiple labor transactions by pay type, such as regular, overtime, double-time, and holiday.  Infor SyteLine generates each transaction into an individual log hour record.   Each transaction can hold total hours up to three decimals and pay rates of up to five decimals.  By pulling each into payroll individually, there may be unbalanced payroll distributions since they are based on the sum of the extended values of the log hour records.  Manual adjustments will then be needed to correct the distributions before payroll check posting can occur.
  
  When Summarize Hours is enabled, these transactions are condensed and the possibility of unbalanced payroll distributions is greatly reduced.  See the example below where five log hour records are summarized into two.    

Example:

• Use Shop-Trak Payroll Processing - Select this check box to  convert labor transactions into regular, overtime, double-time, or holiday pay types and apply the appropriate pay rates as defined in the Shop-Trak Payroll Generation table.

NOTE:  This parameter must be enabled in order to run the Shop-Trak Pre-Generation Report and the Shop-Trak Time Sheet with Sign-Off Report.

• Payroll Application - Select SyteLine to use SyteLine's payroll application or External to use an external payroll application.
• Adjust Regular Hours - Shop-Trak maintains the exact transaction times; therefore, total hours for a day may sum to an odd value such as 7.971 or 9.486.  The Adjust Regular Hours parameter is designed to adjust these times based on individual pay policies.  Specify a value that will determine the range (up and down) for comparison to daily total hours.  The daily total hours will be then adjusted accordingly.

Example:

With the parameter defined as three minutes (.05), any daily hours that fall within three minutes before or after an hour or a half hour will be adjusted up or down.  If the total hours are outside of the setting, no adjustments will be made and the actual hours will be generated to Payroll.  See the table below for specific examples.

4. Save your changes and close the form.
