TimeSimplicity & Other Product Ideas

Hi there,

I manage this type of functionality through scripting.  I have created schedule templates for all salaried employee, which define the hours/day the system should autoadd.  I create these schedules are recurring schedules, and then set the AddEntry script to run only when reportingdate <= today's date.  I use pay category "Entry" simply as a variable, as AddEntry currently can only add whole numbers, and then assign the proper category and hour total in PayRate Script.  Here is the script:

//Addentry

if(employee.employeetype contains "Salary"){
if(reportingdate.date <= reportingdate.todaysdate){
if("MTWRF" contains reportingdate.weekday and reportingdate.totalhours < 8){
if(reportingdate.isholiday = false){
addentry("hours",1,"Entry");
}
}
}

}

//PayRate

/*NOTE: This piece references any other time already on the day, so that the system does not overcreate hours.  For example, if I already have 4 hours of PTO approved, the system will only auto create 4 hours versus 8.  I need to write this here because AddEntry currently only adds whole numbers.  Otherwise, I would write all of this through Addentry, and remove the need for multiple script boxes */

//Salary AutoEntry Script

$x = reportingdate.totalhours - 1;

if(hours = 1 and category = "Entry"){
hours = reportingdate.schedhours - $x;
category = "Regular"
}

Hopefully this helps.  Good Luck!
