This topic provides an example of how you can use count units in a pay agreement for time and attendance.
Count unit setup on a production operation
In the production department of a company, a special operation is performed, which is very strenuous on the workers. Consequently, the production manager decides that a worker must not work on that particular operation for more than maximum 10 hours per week.
The workers who work on the special operation receive a bonus. The bonus is paid per hour and can be paid for minimum one hour and maximum 10 hours per week.
Set up a pay type
The company creates a special pay type that functions as a bonus for work on the operation. The bonus is added as a Premiums wage type on a pay agreement line for the pay agreement.
Click Human resources > Setup > Time and attendance > Payroll > Pay types.
Create a pay type named Operation bonus 05.
Click Rates to open the Rates form. Use this form to set up the amount to pay for the bonus.
Optional: You can set up the rate to be valid for a limited period of time.
Set up a count unit on a pay agreement
Click Human resources > Setup > Time and attendance > Payroll > Pay agreements.
Select the pay agreement, and click Count unit.
In the Description field, insert a description of the count unit.
Note
The Count unit field is automatically filled out with sequential numbers.
In the Minimum, insert the number 0 (zero).
In the Maximum, insert the number 10.
In the Wage type field, select Premiums.
In the Pay type out field, select Premiums, or another pay type to be displayed on the payroll records.
Note
This may be relevant if you want to display a different Wage type in the payroll records that are created.
In the Period code field, select the weekly pay period that the count unit relates to.
In the Pay agreements form, click Pay agreement lines.
Create a new pay agreement line for the relevant week days for the Premiums pay type.
Select the pay type that you created earlier.
On the General tab, in the Count unit field, select the count unit that you created in step 2.
In the Operation field, select the operation that the count unit relates to.
Note
If this count unit should be available for a specific work time profile only, select the profile in the Profile type field on the pay agreement line. This means that only workers connected to that profile can receive the operation bonus.
