Recording absenteeism in payroll 1

[PAULCALLAGHAN]

We are using ERP version 5.3B.

In the payroll module I would like to record employee absenteeism but not sure how to go about it, especially since I don't want it paid.

Can someone please help on how to do this? Is there anyone currently doing this that wouldn't mind sharing their approach?

You could set up an accrual code that doesn't print on the cheque stub. Then you can print it out on any of the employee reports.

Thanks Djangman.

But can you please elaborate as to how to do this? What screens would I use to set it up, and what screens would I use for entry when the absenteeism occurs?

Hi Paul,

Go to the Payroll, Setup and Earnings and Deductions. Create a new Accrual type Earning called ABSENT. After you've set the type to Accrual - hit F1. You'll get a wealth of information on the rest of the fields.

Assign the Earning ABSENT to all of your employees.

On the timecards you would enter a line using the code ABSENT. Then assign a quantity - either the actual hours or eight hours or 1 if you are simply counting the number of times. If an employee was absent three times in a pay period then you would enter three lines on the timecard if you needed to keep track of the dates individually.

Using the payroll history icon you can enter in the Absent information to date.

Regards,
