Concept: Units of Time Entry for Summary Timesheets
In
Timekeeping Settings
, you can configure the Unit of Time Entry
setting if your program uses manual Summary
timesheets. With this setting, you can enable contractors with a Daily
pay type to enter time in either Hours
or Days
. Contractors can only enter time in one of these units; they can’t enter time in different units across timesheets. To use this setting, the Timesheet Type
must be set to Summary
, the Timesheet Classification
must be set to Manual
, and workers must have a Pay Type
of Daily
.Entering Time in Hours
If the
Unit of Time Entry
setting is set to Hours
, contractors can enter time in hourly units. For example, a contractor’s timesheet for the week could include: - Monday:8 hours
- Tuesday:7.5 hours
- Wednesday:7 hours
- Thursday:8 hours
- Friday:5 hours
Overtime and shifts are supported for contractors entering time in hours. Workers with a
Pay Type
other than Daily
, such as Weekly
or Hourly
, also enter time in hours. Entering Time in Days
If the
Unit of Time Entry
setting is set to Days
, contractors can enter time in daily units. The available daily units depend on your Partial Day Entry
setting configuration: - Only Allow Whole Days: Entries can include 0 or 1 days.
- Allow Half Days: Entries can include 0, 0.5, or 1 days.
- Allow Quarter Days: Entries can include 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, or 1 days.
For example, a contractor’s timesheet for the week could include:
- Sunday:0.00 days
- Monday:1 day
- Tuesday:0.75 days
- Wednesday:1 day
- Thursday:1 day
- Friday:0.25 days
- Saturday:0.00 days
If your program configures time entry in days, VNDLY ensures that daily rate proration is calculated linearly. For example, if a worker’s daily rate for 1 day is $700, then their daily rate for 0.5 day is $350.
Overtime and shifts are not supported for contractors entering time in days.
