The system defaults to ‘Regular’ hours, is there any way to have the hours automatically go to another category?
Answer
Yes, this can be done through scripting. We can make the punches that are ‘Regular’ go in to another specified pay category. As an example:

if (category = "Regular")
{
category = "Hourly";
}

This script says that if the employee clocks in and the hours are ‘Regular’, move the them to the category of ‘Hourly’.

Here are a couple of things to consider if you do this.

- You may need to adjust the Pay Code Translation to make sure the category translates correctly to the payroll software.
In TimeWorks, this is found in the Accountant Menu under the Client Setup Tools section at the top of the page. Click Pay Code Translation to change this.
In TimeWorksPlus, Pay Code Translation is found in the Settings Menu. Select Processing Rules and choose the Processing category radio button. PayCodeTranslation will be listed in the results at the bottom of the page.


- If you would like this new category to promote with the overtime, you will need to set this up in the OT categories.
In TimeWorks this is in the Accountant Menu > Custom Processing / Rounding Rules > OT CATEGORIES.
In TimeWorksPlus, this is in the Settings Menu > Processing Rules > Processing category > PunchCategories
