Daily Time Auto Pay Process

The Daily Time Auto Pay Process allows you to globally generate Daily Timesheet entries with a wide range of employee/function line selections and up to five sets of exclusion criteria. Terminated and On Leave employees will be omitted. Function lines that are inactive due to being out of cycle or shut down based on the dates will be bypassed. This timesheet generation process uses all the rules and criteria as defined under the Daily Time Sheet Entry process. Selected employees will have timesheets generated based on the 'REG' entry code, defaulting from the previous weeks posted hours. All Date Activity database criteria are still applied where applicable.

Both the selection criteria value and the exclusion criteria value allows the use of the wild card '?' character. The '?' character means that the element value is to be taken from the employee's applicable code to form a new selection code or a new exclusion code. For example, enter a selection salary grid with the value of SU????, means include all function lines where the salary grid begins with 'SU'. The use of the '?' is not available on the numeric fields such as hours, pay rate and percent employed.

For payrolls using the Percent Employed (Users Specific Parameters Profile) the option to select and exclude based on the Percent Employed field is available.

This process includes the option to maintain multiple sets of stored prompts.

Name the prompt sets by defining a title up to 10 characters, with a 30-character description.
On the first prompt click the Report Defaults icon to select an existing set of prompt values. You can delete prompt sets or change the description from the Report Default icon.

This option will run in batch only.

Select Employees by Code

• Enter a 2-character code to define the field to use for employee/function line selection.

• Enter 'EM' to select employees based on employee number.

When employee selection is by Employee Number:

Report All or Selected Employees       

When employee selection is based on any field other than employee number, you are prompted to enter one or more of that code or value. You may enter valid codes or any combination using the wild card '?'. The wild card is not a valid entry for numeric fields such as hours. The list of values entered will determine if an employee's function line will be selected.

Select Item for Code Exclusion  # 1

• Enter when no more exclusion criteria are to be entered. After completing the exclusion definitions all exclusion codes will be listed for reference.

• Enter one of the 2 character codes to define which field will be used for employee/function line exclusion.

• Enter 'EM' to select specific employees based on employee number.

You can omit all exclusion criteria or define up to 5 different exclusion criteria sets. When multiple exclusion criteria have been defined, the employee will be excluded if the employee meets any of the exclusion definitions.

When employee exclusion is based on any field other than employee number, you are prompted to enter one or more of that code or value. You may enter valid codes or any combination using the wild card '?'. The wild card is not a valid entry for numeric fields such as hours. The list of values entered will determine if an employee's function line will be excluded.

Enter Batch Period     

• Enter the pay period under which these timesheet entries will be processed.

Enter Week Ending Date       

• Enter a date to determine the week to be entered. This date will also be used to determine the prior week values to be available as defaults.

Enter Batch Type Code      

• Enter a valid batch type code.

Exclude Employees On Leave with Benefits       

• Enter 'Y' to exclude employees that are On Leave With Benefits.

• Enter 'N' to include employees that are On Leave With Benefits. These employees must still fulfill the selection and exclusion criteria.

Report Only or Process
