Hinawi Software has 2 ways of calculation basis: –

➔ Fixed 30 Days

In this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless if the month is January, February or April.

➔ Actual Month Days

In this basis the  system calculates the number of days in the month. Therefore, January is:31 days, February is: 28/29 days, and April is: 30 days.

Note:

Net to pay the amount in Salary sheet is rounding and no decimal points.

e.g. 29.22 will be ,2903 and 2892.86 ,will be 2893 as shown in the above table.,

i.e. 0.5 and more will be consonedered, as 1 and less than .5 will be ignored.

Note:

The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month while creating an absence. E.g., if an employee making from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. this means that while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.

Month Days. When salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days, this option is disabled.

2. If EOS is created for an employee (resign or terminated), the remaining of leave salary and unpaid salaries will show in EOS for

Calculate Actual Leave Days if salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days:

e.g.: If this option is checked, and an Employee takes a leave for 5 days on Feb 27, then the leave days will be 5 (27,28 & 1,2,3). If this option is not checked, the leave days calculated will be 7 (27, 28, 29, 30 & 1, 2, 3).

Note:

  • The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month given while reading an absence. E.g., an employee was absent from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. Therefore, while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence day salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.
  • Calculation of Leave Days (for all types of leaves) is always based on the ACTUAL MONTH DAYS.

Special Cases When:

1. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Leave Days if the setup is “Deduct from Leaves”. And absent day salary will be deducted if the setup is “Deduct from Salary”.

2. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on 28th Feb, then absent salary will be deducted from the effective month if the setup is “deduct from salary”.

3. An absence is created for an employee, and the setup type is deducted from:

leaves → annual leaves, then it will deduct the leave days from the annual Leave Balance.

4. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. But will not be paid for that 1 day since it is fixed 30 days.

5. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on 28th, leaves will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. Salary is calculated for 27 working days to  + 1 day leave salary. For the next 2 days (29 and 30) salary needs to be added as separate in addition and deduction manually by the user. And next month salary (March) will be fotwo 30 Days and 2 days salary in the Addition column.

Important:

Changing between Basis of calculation:

When the user wants to change the Basis of calculation or anything else in SETUP, the activities like Leaves, absence, salary sheet and EOS must be approved before proceeding (if there will not be any further changes on activities in the future.)

Note:

  • We advise the user to approve all the activities (If there is no change later)

before changing the setup.

  • We also advise users to create salary sheet before proceeding with changes in the setup. Also, to start doing changes in setup after approving the salary sheet.
  • Activities approved before changing the policy (Setup) will remain the same and will not change after filling a new policy. I.e., There will be no effect on the calculation if there are changes between 2 methods when activities and salaries are approved.
  • New calculation will affect the new activities reading from new changes in setup.
  • If the user wants to affect the new changes in activities created already, then recreate the activities after changing the company policy.

Exceptional:

  • Calculate First Month Salary as Actual Days Worked:

If thefor  setup is fixed 30 days and the employee joining date is not 30 days month, calculate the working days based on the actual month.

Note:

By Default, this option will be checked. We strongly reclaimed keeping this checked. e.g. Employee joined on 27/01 so total working days will be: 5 days and will be calculated as 5/30 X Total Salary.

Employee joined on 27/02 so total working days will be: 2 days and will be calculated as 2/30 X Total Salary.

  • Include Employees in the salary sheet who joined on or before   of the Month this allows the user to include an employee who joined the company before the given datheirhe month and his/her salary is generated in the salary sheet.

e.g.: If an employee joins on 20th of a month and we set the above     to 22, then he will be included in the salary sheet of this month.

  • Show the Standard Salary Information in Salary Sheet Columns: If checked, the standard monthly salary will be seen in salary sheet as information only.
  • Allow to Edit Employee salary Information even if the salary sheet is approved: This option Allows user to change the Employee Salary Information even if the Salary Sheet is approved. This option is added for employees whose salaries have increased after approving the salary sheet. Therefore, the system allows these changes for history status purposes regarding salary. This does not affect the Approved Salary Sheet. It will only affect the future salary sheets.

Note:

Differences the in the salary for previous period will be adjusted in the next salary sheets.

Company Settings → Company Setup → Leave Policy

Leave Settings

  • Allow Negative Leave Days:

Allows creating Leaves More than the available Balance

Note:

if Negative Leave Days is filled in with the following value: 5, an Employee has Leave Balance of 15 days; then the system will allow creating a leave for 20 days as Negative days are filled. And this is Applicable for All types of leaves.

When “Allow Negative Leave Days” is checked and the value is zero, it will allow creating leaves only as per the Leave balance. i.e., it simply means as if this option is not checked when the value is zero.

If the leave balance is zero or minus, the user should add Admin password to allow the negative days.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Leave salary calculation basis on:

As default (zero here) it is reading from Payroll settings: Fixed 30 days or Actual month days.

If the user selects any value, the system will ignore reading from the Payroll Settings and reads from here as mentioned below:

If the user selects 360, the system will calculate Leave Salary through the following method:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/360} x Leave Days

If 365, then as follows:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/365} x Leave Days

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

Note:

– The user can change the basis of calculation only if the setup is Actual Month Days.

– If the setup is Fixed 30 days, this option will be disabled.

  • Add Leave salary amount in the “Addition” Column of the Salary Sheet:

This is applicable only for Time Sheet Employees and the payment type of leave is Pay Through Salary Sheet; when the user applies it, the system will calculate the leave salaries and add to the additions and deduction form in the Timesheet software and it will be added to the salaries in the “Addition” column. If this option is not selected, no payment of leave will take place in the Salary sheet. This is per company policy.

  • Pay Leave Salary separate for Time Sheet Employees:

If this option is checked, Leave Salary is paid separately as Cheque or Cash, and Leave salary will not be added in the salary sheet for Time Sheet Employees.

Note:

If an employee is on leave for 10 days, that 10 days salary will be added in the Additions and Deductions form in the salary sheet if the option ‘Add Leave salary amount in Addition Column of Salary Sheet’ is checked.

If this option is not checked, there will be no payment of leave in the salary sheet. This is per company’s policy.

  • Use Encash Leave

Allows to Encash the Leave Days Balance for Annual Leave. For example, an Employee has Annual Leave balance of 20 days and he/she doesn’t want to go home. He/she can take Cash for that leave balance. If the Employee takes encashment for 10 Days Leave, then the next time he/she creates a “Leave”, his/her Leave Balance will show as 10 only. There are settings for selection of allowances for Encashment in the advanced setup.

The user can select Encash Leave Items from the list in the advanced setup.

When ‘Encash Leave’ is checked in the leave’s creation activity dialog, the number of leave days will be encashed as per the setup. Leave Days will be deducted from the Leave balance.

Note:

Negative Leave Days will not be Encashed.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Don’t create any type of leave until the employee returns from leave

If this box is checked, the employee on leave cannot extend or take any leaves until he/she returns from leave.

To create any leave, user must return from the previous leave. This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • If an Employee Returned Earlier than expected from Annual Leave, the Default option for the Adjustment type:

Create Loan:

e.g.: An employee goes on 20 days paid leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, days leave back.

He/she must refund the leave salary for 10 days and get the 10

Deduct the leave days only:

e.g.: Employee goes on 20 days leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, so if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money, but his 10 days leaves will be deducted.

Keep the Balance Leave Days:

E.g. Employee goes for 20 days leave and he comes back by 10 (If the company calls him back due to urgent work), if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money and Company will not deduct the leave balance from his leaves.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

NOTE:

In all the above cases Employee will get salary.

  • At the time of “Leave return”, Calculate the leave Balance from the Leave Start

Date (if the Leave is Extended):

e.g.: An Employee goes on leave for 15 days and he extends leave for 5 days, the system will calculate the Leave Balance from the Leave start date, i.e., 20 days if this option is checked.

If not checked, his leave balance will be calculated from the extended leave. [Clarification]

  • Calculate leave Provision

✓   Calculate the provision for working (Present) Days

✓   Calculate leave provision in all paid days (paid salaries + paid any type of leave)

✓   Calculate provision whole year regardless of availability or not (sick , annual leave , absence , paid or unpaid leave)

  • Don’t calculate leave provision

  • For Timesheet Employees, Absence salary is not paid in a separate column for Pay through salary sheet. Here, the salary is paid for the present days. i.e., If an Employee is absent for 2 days, the salary is paid for 28 if it is a 30 days month. Therefore, the amount is showed for 28 days in the Salarysheet, not a separate column for absence deduction.
  • The user can pay for OT to Timesheet Employees only if “calculate OT” is yes.

The Amount will be shown in a separate column as Total OT.

I.e., if the setup is Actual month days and Employee’s absence deducted ting from January, then the salary will be for total days = 30 days (31– 1 = 30, 1-day(s) absence will be deducted). If the setup is Fixed 30 Days and Employee absence is deducting from January, then salary will be for 29 Days.

The Calculation summary is the following:

Note:

If Leave Salary Calculation basis is 0 Days, then it will read the setup from Payroll Settings. If setup is actual month days, then the leave days is divided by 365 Days, if setup is fixed 30 days, then leave days is divided by 360 Days.

The image displayed above represents a closeup view of the EOS Setup where users get to choose and apply the suitable actions and requirements.

Moreover, the cases displayed below represents several calculations regarding the End of Service.

However, the results might vary between one user and another depending on how the setup is made among users

Case 1:

If the setup is     

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days, EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100

360

100 X 70.115073 (Eligible Days) =7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

Note:

1. Total Days is calculated as total no of Calendar Days. i.e., 1219 days her

2. When ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set (By Default zero), then the years calculated as (as example shown above) 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if 3 years 4 Months and 2 Days.

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is set as 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 2:

If the setup is      

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 365 Days,

EOS basis = 360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then, the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Case 3:

If the setup is    

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 4:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 Days

EOS basis = 360 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then the Leave salary will be:

(3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 5:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis = 365 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10)/360=1000 [basis: 360]

Case 6:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 days,

EOS basis is = 365 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be:

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (300*12*10)/ 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Note:

– Users can have separate settings for EOS regardless of the Company setup. They can also have the same settings as per the company policy.

-In EOS, the system will calculate the actual leave days. i.e., If the Transfer to next year is No (In Leave setup) and EOS is created for the Employee in March, the Leave days will be 7 or 8 days.

– If the Leave Salary Calculation basis is Not checked, then it will be calculated Based on the Salary calculation setup:

i.e., If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10

1. Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360

2. Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 *10) / 365

And if an employee’s joining date is 01/01/2011, then set salary effective date should be greater than or equal to the joining date.

The user cannot create ate salary sheet for the employee before 01/2014 since the payroll strain at 01/2014.

Important:

  • If Pay through salary sheet is selected, the amount to be given to the Employee is added to the Salary sheet in columns and the amount to be deducted from the Employee is also shown in the Salary Sheet.
  • If Pay through the Payment Voucher is selected, nothing will affect the  alary sheet in any columns.
  • If Air Ticket is provided as Pay through Salary sheet, then it will be added in an Additional column of the Salary sheet for Both HR and Timesheet Employees.
  • For Timesheet Employees, Absence salary is not paid in a separate column for Pay through salary sheet. Here, the salary is paid for the present days. i.e., If an Employee is absent for 2 days, the salary is paid for 28 if it is a 30 days month. Therefore, the amount is showed for 28 days in the Salarysheet, not a separate column for absence deduction.
  • The user can pay for OT to Timesheet Employees only if “calculate OT” is yes.

The Amount will be shown in a separate column as Total OT.

  • For HR Employees, if 1-day absence, 1 day will be deducted from the total days of a Month based on the setup. I.e., if the setup is Actual month days and Employee’s absence deducted ting from January, then the salary will be for total days = 30 days (31– 1 = 30, 1-day(s) absence will be deducted). If the setup is Fixed 30 Days and Employee absence is deducting from January, then salary will be for 29 Days.
  • For Timesheet Employees, we calculate present days only. It is always based on Actual Month Days. So, when there is an Absence, the user can change the Status to ‘Absent’ for the absent day and that day will not be calculated.
  • Remember that Company Employees can be defined (split in 2 parts) as employees or Times employee setesyee. An HR Employee will get his/her salary automatically, but a Timesheet employee will not get the salary unless the Timesheet is filled.

Hinawi Software has 2 ways of calculation basis: –

➔ Fixed 30 Days

In this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless if the month is January, February or April.

➔ Actual Month Days

In this basis the  system calculates the number of days in the month. Therefore, January is:31 days, February is: 28/29 days, and April is: 30 days.

Note:

Net to pay the amount in Salary sheet is rounding and no decimal points.

e.g. 29.22 will be ,2903 and 2892.86 ,will be 2893 as shown in the above table.,

i.e. 0.5 and more will be consonedered, as 1 and less than .5 will be ignored.

The user can do the settings from Additional Settings.

Both affect the calculations of monthly salary for the following activities cases:  Absence and Leave.

Case 1:

STANDARD Case. Employee Monthly Salary is 3000 AED, All Salary Item included for Leave calculation, no pension for Non- Locals, Leave Salary Calculation basis on 0 (zero) days, Absence setup is Deduct from Salary, No first month.

Case 2:

The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month while creating an absence. E.g., if an employee making from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. this means that while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.

Month Days. When salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days, this option is disabled.

2. If EOS is created for an employee (resign or terminated), the remaining of leave salary and unpaid salaries will show in EOS for

Calculate Actual Leave Days if salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days:

e.g.: If this option is checked, and an Employee takes a leave for 5 days on Feb 27, then the leave days will be 5 (27,28 & 1,2,3). If this option is not checked, the leave days calculated will be 7 (27, 28, 29, 30 & 1, 2, 3).

Note:

  • The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month given while reading an absence. E.g., an employee was absent from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. Therefore, while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence day salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.
  • Calculation of Leave Days (for all types of leaves) is always based on the ACTUAL MONTH DAYS.

Special Cases When:

1. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Leave Days if the setup is “Deduct from Leaves”. And absent day salary will be deducted if the setup is “Deduct from Salary”.

2. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on 28th Feb, then absent salary will be deducted from the effective month if the setup is “deduct from salary”.

3. An absence is created for an employee, and the setup type is deducted from:

leaves → annual leaves, then it will deduct the leave days from the annual Leave Balance.

4. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. But will not be paid for that 1 day since it is fixed 30 days.

5. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on 28th, leaves will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. Salary is calculated for 27 working days to  + 1 day leave salary. For the next 2 days (29 and 30) salary needs to be added as separate in addition and deduction manually by the user. And next month salary (March) will be fotwo 30 Days and 2 days salary in the Addition column.

Important:

Changing between Basis of calculation:

When the user wants to change the Basis of calculation or anything else in SETUP, the activities like Leaves, absence, salary sheet and EOS must be approved before proceeding (if there will not be any further changes on activities in the future.)

Note:

  • We advise the user to approve all the activities (If there is no change later)

before changing the setup.

  • We also advise users to create salary sheet before proceeding with changes in the setup. Also, to start doing changes in setup after approving the salary sheet.
  • Activities approved before changing the policy (Setup) will remain the same and will not change after filling a new policy. I.e., There will be no effect on the calculation if there are changes between 2 methods when activities and salaries are approved.
  • New calculation will affect the new activities reading from new changes in setup.
  • If the user wants to affect the new changes in activities created already, then recreate the activities after changing the company policy.

Exceptional:

  • Calculate First Month Salary as Actual Days Worked:

If thefor  setup is fixed 30 days and the employee joining date is not 30 days month, calculate the working days based on the actual month.

Note:

By Default, this option will be checked. We strongly reclaimed keeping this checked. e.g. Employee joined on 27/01 so total working days will be: 5 days and will be calculated as 5/30 X Total Salary.

Employee joined on 27/02 so total working days will be: 2 days and will be calculated as 2/30 X Total Salary.

  • Include Employees in the salary sheet who joined on or before   of the Month this allows the user to include an employee who joined the company before the given datheirhe month and his/her salary is generated in the salary sheet.

e.g.: If an employee joins on 20th of a month and we set the above     to 22, then he will be included in the salary sheet of this month.

  • Show the Standard Salary Information in Salary Sheet Columns: If checked, the standard monthly salary will be seen in salary sheet as information only.
  • Allow to Edit Employee salary Information even if the salary sheet is approved: This option Allows user to change the Employee Salary Information even if the Salary Sheet is approved. This option is added for employees whose salaries have increased after approving the salary sheet. Therefore, the system allows these changes for history status purposes regarding salary. This does not affect the Approved Salary Sheet. It will only affect the future salary sheets.

Note:

Differences the in the salary for previous period will be adjusted in the next salary sheets.

Wages Protection System (UAE Use Only):

Employer Unique Id: The user can provide the ID of the Employer here.

Bank Code of Employer: This is the bank code of the Employer and the user can add more banks here.

Pension Settings Tab:

  • Include Pension for Non-Locals

The user checks this option in case he/she wants to set pension for Non-Locals. Pension for Locals can be set from Default setup/Advanced Setup.

The user can check the option ‘Show the pension for Non-Locals in Separate column in Salary sheet’ if he/she wants  the pension to be in separate column of the salary sheet.

The user can change the column name in Salary Sheet by giving a name in ‘Change the Column name in Salary Sheet as’

Deduct Company pension from Employees for Absence Days Locals %       Non-Locals % The user can set the pension to be deducted from Employees for Absence Days.

1-4. Leave Policy

Leave Policy is one of the most important screens in the system. Kindly read carefully. You can contact us (End of Manual) for any further clarifications.

Company Settings → Company Setup → Leave Policy

Leave Settings

  • Allow Negative Leave Days:

Allows creating Leaves More than the available Balance

Note:

if Negative Leave Days is filled in with the following value: 5, an Employee has Leave Balance of 15 days; then the system will allow creating a leave for 20 days as Negative days are filled. And this is Applicable for All types of leaves.

When “Allow Negative Leave Days” is checked and the value is zero, it will allow creating leaves only as per the Leave balance. i.e., it simply means as if this option is not checked when the value is zero.

If the leave balance is zero or minus, the user should add Admin password to allow the negative days.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Leave salary calculation basis on:

As default (zero here) it is reading from Payroll settings: Fixed 30 days or Actual month days.

If the user selects any value, the system will ignore reading from the Payroll Settings and reads from here as mentioned below:

If the user selects 360, the system will calculate Leave Salary through the following method:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/360} x Leave Days

If 365, then as follows:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/365} x Leave Days

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

Note:

– The user can change the basis of calculation only if the setup is Actual Month Days.

– If the setup is Fixed 30 days, this option will be disabled.

  • Add Leave salary amount in the “Addition” Column of the Salary Sheet:

This is applicable only for Time Sheet Employees and the payment type of leave is Pay Through Salary Sheet; when the user applies it, the system will calculate the leave salaries and add to the additions and deduction form in the Timesheet software and it will be added to the salaries in the “Addition” column. If this option is not selected, no payment of leave will take place in the Salary sheet. This is per company policy.

  • Pay Leave Salary separate for Time Sheet Employees:

If this option is checked, Leave Salary is paid separately as Cheque or Cash, and Leave salary will not be added in the salary sheet for Time Sheet Employees.

Note:

If an employee is on leave for 10 days, that 10 days salary will be added in the Additions and Deductions form in the salary sheet if the option ‘Add Leave salary amount in Addition Column of Salary Sheet’ is checked.

If this option is not checked, there will be no payment of leave in the salary sheet. This is per company’s policy.

  • Use Encash Leave

Allows to Encash the Leave Days Balance for Annual Leave. For example, an Employee has Annual Leave balance of 20 days and he/she doesn’t want to go home. He/she can take Cash for that leave balance. If the Employee takes encashment for 10 Days Leave, then the next time he/she creates a “Leave”, his/her Leave Balance will show as 10 only. There are settings for selection of allowances for Encashment in the advanced setup.

The user can select Encash Leave Items from the list in the advanced setup.

When ‘Encash Leave’ is checked in the leave’s creation activity dialog, the number of leave days will be encashed as per the setup. Leave Days will be deducted from the Leave balance.

Note:

Negative Leave Days will not be Encashed.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Don’t create any type of leave until the employee returns from leave

If this box is checked, the employee on leave cannot extend or take any leaves until he/she returns from leave.

To create any leave, user must return from the previous leave. This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • If an Employee Returned Earlier than expected from Annual Leave, the Default option for the Adjustment type:

Create Loan:

e.g.: An employee goes on 20 days paid leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, days leave back.

He/she must refund the leave salary for 10 days and get the 10

Deduct the leave days only:

e.g.: Employee goes on 20 days leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, so if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money, but his 10 days leaves will be deducted.

Keep the Balance Leave Days:

E.g. Employee goes for 20 days leave and he comes back by 10 (If the company calls him back due to urgent work), if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money and Company will not deduct the leave balance from his leaves.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

NOTE:

In all the above cases Employee will get salary.

  • At the time of “Leave return”, Calculate the leave Balance from the Leave Start

Date (if the Leave is Extended):

e.g.: An Employee goes on leave for 15 days and he extends leave for 5 days, the system will calculate the Leave Balance from the Leave start date, i.e., 20 days if this option is checked.

If not checked, his leave balance will be calculated from the extended leave. [Clarification]

  • Calculate leave Provision

✓   Calculate the provision for working (Present) Days

✓   Calculate leave provision in all paid days (paid salaries + paid any type of leave)

✓   Calculate provision whole year regardless of availability or not (sick , annual leave , absence , paid or unpaid leave)

  • Don’t calculate leave provision

1-5. Holiday Setup

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Holidays Setup

Weekly off days tab: Here, the user can select what days represent the weekly day offs. Public Holidays tab: Here, the user can select the public holidays: it can be fixed or variable.

e.g.: Fixed: January 1 is New Year which is a public holiday. Variable: Eid can be set as variable holiday.

Note:

Holidays setup affects calculations in many activities such as: salaries, leave, Time sheet, shift etc. This depends on the setup of each activity.

–      If ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is 360 Days, then the service period will be calculated as 1221 / 360 = 3.391 if the Employee worked for 1221 days. (1221 is the number of calendar days worked from joining date to EOS date).

Note:

When the user selects Set Default, it should go to the default settings of EOS as per UAE (country). Set Default should read from the country EOS setup.

Note:

Creating EOS will not affect any transaction / activities unless EOS is approved.

E.g.: For a Timesheet Employee, if the user wants to create EOS date on 12 June, then he/she needs to do the following:

  • Users need to create Timesheet for June. Fill timesheet entry till 11 June normally and from 12 June till the end of the month fill as ‘Absent’.
  • Create Salary sheet of June
  • Create EOS

Now to cause an effect on activities, the user must approve EOS.

In the Additions & Deductions Tab, the user can add the additions and deductions to be added for the EOS Employee as below:

If the user wants to make any Adjustment in the total amount, he/she can do it from the Summary Tab as below:

Different Cases:

If the employee Salary is 3000; Calculate Unpaid Leave Salary Calculation Based on Leave Setup, (Leave Setup is to include All Salary Items and Transfer To Next Year is Yes), Employee works for 3 year,4 month and 2 days and EOS Setup is as below: the Default setup.

The Calculation summary is the following:

Note:

If Leave Salary Calculation basis is 0 Days, then it will read the setup from Payroll Settings. If setup is actual month days, then the leave days is divided by 365 Days, if setup is fixed 30 days, then leave days is divided by 360 Days.

The image displayed above represents a closeup view of the EOS Setup where users get to choose and apply the suitable actions and requirements.

Moreover, the cases displayed below represents several calculations regarding the End of Service.

However, the results might vary between one user and another depending on how the setup is made among users

Case 1:

If the setup is     

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days, EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100

360

100 X 70.115073 (Eligible Days) =7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

Note:

1. Total Days is calculated as total no of Calendar Days. i.e., 1219 days her

2. When ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set (By Default zero), then the years calculated as (as example shown above) 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if 3 years 4 Months and 2 Days.

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is set as 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 2:

If the setup is      

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 365 Days,

EOS basis = 360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then, the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Case 3:

If the setup is    

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 4:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 Days

EOS basis = 360 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then the Leave salary will be:

(3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 5:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis = 365 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10)/360=1000 [basis: 360]

Case 6:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 days,

EOS basis is = 365 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be:

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (300*12*10)/ 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Note:

– Users can have separate settings for EOS regardless of the Company setup. They can also have the same settings as per the company policy.

-In EOS, the system will calculate the actual leave days. i.e., If the Transfer to next year is No (In Leave setup) and EOS is created for the Employee in March, the Leave days will be 7 or 8 days.

– If the Leave Salary Calculation basis is Not checked, then it will be calculated Based on the Salary calculation setup:

i.e., If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10

1. Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360

2. Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 *10) / 365

6. Timesheet Policy

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Timesheet Setup

Time sheet is based on Actual month days. There is no fixed 30 days for time sheet. Time Sheet has three types: Detailed Timesheet, Summary Timesheet and Monthly Timesheet.

The following are steps to Setup Time sheet:

i. Time Sheet Setup

ii.Unit lis

iii.Shift and Holiday setup

i Timesheet and OT Setup v. Sample Calculation

Important Note:

After completing the setup of Time Sheet, it’s strongly recommended for the user to do the following:

Assign Employees to Time Sheet Assign Employees to Project Assign Employees to Shift Assign Employees to Supervisor (This is for Web application user) Do this from Timesheet main menu.

61. Timesheet Setup

There are three Types of Time Sheet, Detailed, Summary and Monthly.

  • Time Sheet Detailed

-In Time Sheet Detailed, Entries are made on Daily Basis (By Date)

-Presence hours are prefilled as fully Present (Based on Auto fill setup or manually fill)

-Each Day should be filled including the Absence Hours (if any).

-Shift setup can be in Hours or Days.

-Users can select the option; Use Time Reader Machine’ if they have any.

  • Time Sheet Summary

–     In Time Sheet Summary, Entries can be made on Monthly basis

If the option “Deduct Holidays” when the Labor is absent, the system will deduct the salary of holidays and off days based on the percentage of absence from the whole month

If shift is setup in hours, then monthly present Hours

If shift is setup in days, then number of days present

Basis of Calculation of Absence(Hours) and Basis of Calculation of Absence(Days):  If the user fills the Basis of Calculation of Absence; the system will calculate the absence hours separately based on the Basis that the user filled and Subtracted from the total Monthly salary. If the user keeps this blank, the system will calculate present hours only.

E.g.: (Month is January: 31 Days (248 Hours)). Monthly salary of the employee is 3000, Employee is absent for 5 days (40 hours)

If not filled: The system will calculate by taking the present Hours only (248-40=208) Salary=3000*208/248=2516.12

If filled as 240 hours basis: The system will calculate absent days first and deduct from the total monthly salary

Absence=3000*40/240=500

Salary=3000-500=2500

  • Time Sheet Monthly

In Time Sheet (Monthly basis), only the present days are available.

Overtime Hours per Day (Normal): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in normal days.

Overtime Hours per Day (Holidays): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in Holidays.

Maximum number of days Labor can work: Users can set the maximum number of holidays he/she can work.

Note:

1. Most users use detail Timesheet

2. This Timesheet can be used by both; Labors and Employee

3. Users cannot switch (change) between 3 tabs in the same month. However, the user can do this in the next month after creating and approving the salary sheet of the previous month and when there are no leaves effective on the next month.

Note:

When the status is selected as Leave, Holiday (which cannot be set as status from here), a message saying ‘It is automatically from activities, can’t be selected from Time Sheet’ will pop up.

In the above example, when the user changes ‘From Time/To Time’ of morning (1st)

shift, the hours will be added to Units and the salary will be for total no. of units (248 +3= 251 hours here). When the user changes the “To Time” of evening (2nd) shift, it will be added as overtime and paid as OT amount.

Notes:

1. The Status ‘Leave’ is from the HR activit For Timesheet Employees, Leaves can be created from HR activities.

2. The Status ‘Absence’ is set from her When Absence is selected, “calculate” will be set to ‘No’ by default.

3. Users can set Calculate = ’Yes’ for Absence, then, absence day will be paid as any other Working d I.e., that day will be calculated for monthly salary calculation.

4. Users cannot create absence from HR Activit

5. When absence creation dialog is opened from HR activities, it will list only the HR Employee

6. Users can select “absent” as a status from Timesheet.

7. While creating Leave (from activities), users cannot have the “Payment Type” to be ‘Pay Now’ for Timesheet Employees.

Each Time Sheet can be linked to Projects.

Time Sheet can be changed from Detailed to Summary and Summary to Detailed

  • If Changed from Detailed to Summary, all data will be converted to Summary for that month
  • If changed from Detailed to Summary, the data in that month will not change to Summary but from next months, it will be in Summary.

Deduct Absent days from the service period for Timesheet Employees:

If this option is checked, the absence days will not be included in the service period for Timesheet Employees.

Note:

When leave is created, it affects Timesheet. The status will be changed by default to “Leave” in the Timesheet as per the created leave date.

6-2. Unit List:

It shows the available units and notes:

Hours: Applicable to Timesheet Summary and Detailed

Days: Applicable to Timesheet Summary, Detailed and Monthly.

Create Shift Tab:

63. Shift & Holiday Setup

Setting up of Shifts To setup shifts, go to File → Settings → Time Sheet → Shift & Holiday Setup

–     Shifts can be created based on Business Activity

–     In Create Shifts, define Shift code (e.g. Morning / Evening, Day / Night etc.)

–      Select what is the type of Shift from a Dropdown Menu (e.g. Day / Hours). Users must specify the shift timings when Unit Type is Hours.

When Shift is of Unit Type ‘Hours’, users can split the time, i.e., Split the shift into two as below: Morning and Afternoon. In this case, timesheet will have 2 entries for each case.

When Shifts of Unit Type is ‘Days’, timing will not be shown in the timesheet. And default hours will be taken for calculation.

–      No. of Shifts means, if there is a break in the Working hours, the user can setup 2 shifts e.g.: 8-1 and 4-8 (Only applicable if Type is Hours)

–     Units mean: How many Hours in a shift (Only applicable if shift Type is Hours)

–     More Shifts can be created based on the Company setup.

–     The maximum number of shifts will always be one if the shift setup is by day

Note:

–            In case there is no setup of the shift, the system will read working hours from the box at the bottom of this tab.

1. With this facility, it helps the user to use this setup in all type of busin

2. The Timesheet will be filled automatically based on this shift setup. Therefore, at the time of filling Timesheet for labors, the number of hours will be displayed automatic

3. Users can assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for Different period.

4. Users cannot assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for the SAME period.

5. Users can have two Hourly shifts in one month.

Set Shift Tab:

–     Here, users can select the “Start Day” of the week.

–     Check the Day to make it “Day off”.

–     Allow to Change Holiday.

1. It is applicable only for Summary Time Sheet

2. If this option is Activated, Holiday Hours can be modified manually in Summary Time Sheet. For example, in a month, there are 4 Fridays so 32 hours are Holiday Hou We can change 32 to 24 or 40 whatever as off hours.

–     Include Holiday Units in the Total Month Units there is No Absence.

Checking and unchecking this box will not affect the salary sheet if

If Box is selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary ={Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

31 * 8

If Box is NOT selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary =

{Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

27 * 8

Note:

Salary will be the same if there is NO Absence. For Example,

Month is January, No. of hours per day is 8 hours, 4 holidays (Friday) Employee salary is AED 3000. He was absent for 1 day in the month. The calculation in both cases will be as follows:

– If ticked, total No. of Hours worked= 248– 8 = 240 Hours

{3000*240}    =  2903

31 * 8

–       If not ticked, Holiday hours will be excluded: No. of Hours worked= 216 – 8 = 208 Hours

{3000*208}      =   2889

27 * 8

Set Holidays Tab:

– This Tab is reads Holidays from Company Settings and more Holidays can be added in Set Holidays. I.e., Company Setup→ Holliday Settings→Public Holidays Tab

In this window, users can assign the holidays to shift, this means if the box is checked, the company will pay the holiday days to labors under this shift.

-Note that the number of shifts displayed in this window is based on the number of shifts setup reading from Tab 1.

– The company can define paid holidays to some or all shifts.

-The company can define which types of holidays can be paid or not. E.g. fixed holidays can be paid or not.

Summary Tab:

– Summary shows the Setup for Each Shift and the Calculations for the Shift Hours.

– Show the total working units per week and month.

6-4. Timesheet & OT Time:

Over Time (OT) is one of the main features which provides the ability to customize the user (Admin) requirements and needs as per the company and country policy.

Shift:

Select Shift code from Dropdown

Max OT:

Put here the Maximum Overtime allowed for that Shift per Day.

OT:

Check this option to enable Over Time Calculation. Uncheck this box will not allow the user to enter settings for Overtime calculation (It will be disabled) from here and In Timesheet there will be no calculation for OT.

Basis:

Here, users can put the Basis for Over Time calculation. Over time calculation will be divided by the Value entered. If No value is entered, the system will use Actual Month Hours as basis.

For Example, an Employee monthly salary is AED 3,000. OT rate is 1.25 hours and he worked for 20 hours as OT. Calculations will be the following:

Day:

Here, the user can define Multiple Days for OT rates. For example, Normal Days, Holidays and / or Other Days (Festivals / National Day etc.)

Rate:

Define over Time Rate as per Day types defined. For Example, normal day rate could be1.25, Holidays could be 1.5 and festival days could be 2 and so on as per company policy.

Normal Days:

Total working Hours in a Day is 8 hours and If an employee works for 10 hours, extra 2 hours will be paid as overtime as per the rate (1.25) specified.

Off Days (Fridays):

If an employee works on Friday which is a paid day and the company wants to consider this day as 2 days, meaning that the Company wants to pay 16 hours, we will convert the one day (8 Hours) into OT hours like this: 4 Hours OT with Rate2 so total is: 8 hours will be paid along with the normal paid Friday.

Holidays:

Same as off days.

Hours:

Here, define the maximum hours for a defined rate. For example, in Normal days, if the user puts 4 here, he/she can work maximum 4 hours at the rate 1.25.

Autofill:

Select Yes / No from Auto fill. This helps in automatically filling the over time. For example, standard shift time is 8 hours. In the Time Sheet, the time is filled for employee from 9am to 8pm. The system will automatically fill OT 3 hours if Auto fill is “Yes” is selected, otherwise fill Over time Manually.

Calculate OT:

Fill yes if calculation for OT is required. If calculate is “No”, then the employee will be able to enter OT in Timesheet, but the system will not calculate the overtime and it will not be paid in the salary sheet. This is as per Company Policy.

Salary item:

Select which Salary item user want to pay over time. Normally over time is paid on Basic Salary, but the user can add different salary items for OT calculation.

Allow to change Over Time Manually

By selecting this option, user can change the OT manually in the Time Sheet. If not selected, user cannot change OT manually. User must change the Shift time in Time Sheet.

For e.g.: If this option is checked, then employee can enter OT under different rates. If not checked, user must change the To Time, which will update the OT for corresponding rate.

-Automatically adjust time

By selecting this option, once the user changes OT in Time Sheet, the system will automatically update the Shift time. If not selected, the user must adjust time manually.

Note:

HR Employees are not applicable for Overtime Setup

6-5. Sample Calculation:

It gives Information in General: Calculations for normal hourly rate and normal daily rates, Overtime rate for normal and Holidays.

E.g.:

If the requirement of the company to calculate overtime is as below: Regular days:

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.25

After 21:00 (after 9 PM)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Fridays Days Off (If compensated with other days)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If not compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 2.50

Then he can do the OT Setup as below

The user can put OT in the rate 1.25 on regular days till 21:00 and after that in rate 1.50. OT on Holidays (Friday) if compensated with other days, he/she can put in rate 1.50. OT on official days if compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 1.5 and if not compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 2.50. Therefore, the user can do accordingly as per their requirement.

Time Sheet main menu:

  1. i. Assign Employees to Time Sheet

To assign Employees to Time Sheet, go to:

Time Sheet Menu → Assign Employees to Time Sheet, then click view. Here, the system will show either to Generate Salary sheet from HR or Time Sheet. Select the Employees under Time Sheet for salary through Time sheet.

Users can change the Employee from HR to Time Sheet or vice versa, prior to Salary sheet created. It is changing since last salary sheet created.

  1. ii. Assign Employees to Project

Time Sheet Menu → Assign Employees to Project, then click on search and filter

Employees to assign to Projects. To add projects, go to manage employee’s main menu → Location/project list.

iii.Assign Employee to Shift

To Assign Employee to Shift, go to

Time Sheet → Assign Employee to Shift, then select Dates from / to and then filter Employees and select the relevant shift.

  1. i Create Time Sheet

To create time Sheet, go to

Time Sheet → Create Time Sheet, then select the Dates and filter Employees and fill in Time Sheet and Over Times based on Setup.

After it is done, save Time Sheet and go to Payroll for Salary Sheet.

Note:

If there is more than 1 shift for a month, users must assign the different shifts before creating Timesheet.

E.g. Ramadan Timing for a company is 6 Hours (8 AM to 2 PM), if it started on June 29, and the user wants the timesheet entry to have 6 hours, then

-Create 1 new shift ‘RAMADAN’ from Create Shifts Tab

–     Assign employees to shift for Ramadan month (June 29th to July 27th)

–     i.e. Assign Employee to shift as below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

Now while creating the Timesheet for June, last 2 entries will be for 6 hours as below.

Note:

If the user forgets to assign different shift for Ramadan, and the timesheet is created for Normal shift, he/she must delete the Created Timesheet for month of Ramadan and Assign Employees to ‘RAMADAN’ shift and recreate the Timesheet again to cause effect.

Case 1:

Timesheet Employees, for e.g., timing is 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM; if the Employee is late for 2 hours and he/she comes at 10:00 AM, then the user can set the First 2 hours (08:00 AM to 10:00 AM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’No’ and next 6 hours (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’, and (01:00 PM to 05:00 PM)  as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’ Then the Total units for calculation will be 6 hours. (As shown in the image above).

Case 2:

If the OT Hours per Day (Normal) is set as 2 (In Company Setup) and Overtime Hours is set as 4 (In Timesheet and OT Setup), then the Employee will be allowed to work for 4 hours OT in Normal Day and it will be paid for 4 Hours as OT in the salary sheet. But as the user set OT Hours per Day (Normal)=2, which can be viewed from the report that OT is for 2 hours and rest 2 hours OT will be paid as Addition.

Case 3:

If the user sets Calculate = ‘No’ in the time Sheet setup, then even if the user put OT in Timesheet, it will not be calculated. The Overtime amount will not be shown\added in the salary sheet. This is per company policy.

7. General Settings

Go to: File→ Settings→General Settings.

  • If Pay through the Payment Voucher is selected, nothing will affect the  alary sheet in any columns.
  • If Air Ticket is provided as Pay through Salary sheet, then it will be added in an Additional column of the Salary sheet for Both HR and Timesheet Employees.
  • For Timesheet Employees, Absence salary is not paid in a separate column for Pay through salary sheet. Here, the salary is paid for the present days. i.e., If an Employee is absent for 2 days, the salary is paid for 28 if it is a 30 days month. Therefore, the amount is showed for 28 days in the Salarysheet, not a separate column for absence deduction.
  • The user can pay for OT to Timesheet Employees only if “calculate OT” is yes.

The Amount will be shown in a separate column as Total OT.

  • For HR Employees, if 1-day absence, 1 day will be deducted from the total days of a Month based on the setup. I.e., if the setup is Actual month days and Employee’s absence deducted ting from January, then the salary will be for total days = 30 days (31– 1 = 30, 1-day(s) absence will be deducted). If the setup is Fixed 30 Days and Employee absence is deducting from January, then salary will be for 29 Days.
  • For Timesheet Employees, we calculate present days only. It is always based on Actual Month Days. So, when there is an Absence, the user can change the Status to ‘Absent’ for the absent day and that day will not be calculated.
  • Remember that Company Employees can be defined (split in 2 parts) as employees or Times employee setesyee. An HR Employee will get his/her salary automatically, but a Timesheet employee will not get the salary unless the Timesheet is filled.

Hinawi Software has 2 ways of calculation basis: –

➔ Fixed 30 Days

In this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless if the month is January, February or April.

➔ Actual Month Days

In this basis the  system calculates the number of days in the month. Therefore, January is:31 days, February is: 28/29 days, and April is: 30 days.

Note:

Net to pay the amount in Salary sheet is rounding and no decimal points.

e.g. 29.22 will be ,2903 and 2892.86 ,will be 2893 as shown in the above table.,

i.e. 0.5 and more will be consonedered, as 1 and less than .5 will be ignored.

The user can do the settings from Additional Settings.

Both affect the calculations of monthly salary for the following activities cases:  Absence and Leave.

Case 1:

STANDARD Case. Employee Monthly Salary is 3000 AED, All Salary Item included for Leave calculation, no pension for Non- Locals, Leave Salary Calculation basis on 0 (zero) days, Absence setup is Deduct from Salary, No first month.

Note:

The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month while creating an absence. E.g., if an employee making from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. this means that while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.

When there is 1 Day Leave:

When there is 1 Day Absent:

Note:

1. Leave Salary Calculation Basis is enabled only If the salary calculation is Actual

Month Days. When salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days, this option is disabled.

2. If EOS is created for an employee (resign or terminated), the remaining of leave salary and unpaid salaries will show in EOS for

Calculate Actual Leave Days if salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days:

e.g.: If this option is checked, and an Employee takes a leave for 5 days on Feb 27, then the leave days will be 5 (27,28 & 1,2,3). If this option is not checked, the leave days calculated will be 7 (27, 28, 29, 30 & 1, 2, 3).

Note:

  • The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month given while reading an absence. E.g., an employee was absent from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. Therefore, while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence day salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.
  • Calculation of Leave Days (for all types of leaves) is always based on the ACTUAL MONTH DAYS.

Special Cases When:

1. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Leave Days if the setup is “Deduct from Leaves”. And absent day salary will be deducted if the setup is “Deduct from Salary”.

2. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on 28th Feb, then absent salary will be deducted from the effective month if the setup is “deduct from salary”.

3. An absence is created for an employee, and the setup type is deducted from:

leaves → annual leaves, then it will deduct the leave days from the annual Leave Balance.

4. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. But will not be paid for that 1 day since it is fixed 30 days.

5. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on 28th, leaves will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. Salary is calculated for 27 working days to  + 1 day leave salary. For the next 2 days (29 and 30) salary needs to be added as separate in addition and deduction manually by the user. And next month salary (March) will be fotwo 30 Days and 2 days salary in the Addition column.

Important:

Changing between Basis of calculation:

When the user wants to change the Basis of calculation or anything else in SETUP, the activities like Leaves, absence, salary sheet and EOS must be approved before proceeding (if there will not be any further changes on activities in the future.)

Note:

  • We advise the user to approve all the activities (If there is no change later)

before changing the setup.

  • We also advise users to create salary sheet before proceeding with changes in the setup. Also, to start doing changes in setup after approving the salary sheet.
  • Activities approved before changing the policy (Setup) will remain the same and will not change after filling a new policy. I.e., There will be no effect on the calculation if there are changes between 2 methods when activities and salaries are approved.
  • New calculation will affect the new activities reading from new changes in setup.
  • If the user wants to affect the new changes in activities created already, then recreate the activities after changing the company policy.

Exceptional:

  • Calculate First Month Salary as Actual Days Worked:

If thefor  setup is fixed 30 days and the employee joining date is not 30 days month, calculate the working days based on the actual month.

Note:

By Default, this option will be checked. We strongly reclaimed keeping this checked. e.g. Employee joined on 27/01 so total working days will be: 5 days and will be calculated as 5/30 X Total Salary.

Employee joined on 27/02 so total working days will be: 2 days and will be calculated as 2/30 X Total Salary.

  • Include Employees in the salary sheet who joined on or before   of the Month this allows the user to include an employee who joined the company before the given datheirhe month and his/her salary is generated in the salary sheet.

e.g.: If an employee joins on 20th of a month and we set the above     to 22, then he will be included in the salary sheet of this month.

  • Show the Standard Salary Information in Salary Sheet Columns: If checked, the standard monthly salary will be seen in salary sheet as information only.
  • Allow to Edit Employee salary Information even if the salary sheet is approved: This option Allows user to change the Employee Salary Information even if the Salary Sheet is approved. This option is added for employees whose salaries have increased after approving the salary sheet. Therefore, the system allows these changes for history status purposes regarding salary. This does not affect the Approved Salary Sheet. It will only affect the future salary sheets.

Note:

Differences the in the salary for previous period will be adjusted in the next salary sheets.

Company Settings → Company Setup → Leave Policy

Leave Settings

  • Allow Negative Leave Days:

Allows creating Leaves More than the available Balance

Note:

if Negative Leave Days is filled in with the following value: 5, an Employee has Leave Balance of 15 days; then the system will allow creating a leave for 20 days as Negative days are filled. And this is Applicable for All types of leaves.

When “Allow Negative Leave Days” is checked and the value is zero, it will allow creating leaves only as per the Leave balance. i.e., it simply means as if this option is not checked when the value is zero.

If the leave balance is zero or minus, the user should add Admin password to allow the negative days.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Leave salary calculation basis on:

As default (zero here) it is reading from Payroll settings: Fixed 30 days or Actual month days.

If the user selects any value, the system will ignore reading from the Payroll Settings and reads from here as mentioned below:

If the user selects 360, the system will calculate Leave Salary through the following method:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/360} x Leave Days

If 365, then as follows:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/365} x Leave Days

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

Note:

– The user can change the basis of calculation only if the setup is Actual Month Days.

– If the setup is Fixed 30 days, this option will be disabled.

  • Add Leave salary amount in the “Addition” Column of the Salary Sheet:

This is applicable only for Time Sheet Employees and the payment type of leave is Pay Through Salary Sheet; when the user applies it, the system will calculate the leave salaries and add to the additions and deduction form in the Timesheet software and it will be added to the salaries in the “Addition” column. If this option is not selected, no payment of leave will take place in the Salary sheet. This is per company policy.

  • Pay Leave Salary separate for Time Sheet Employees:

If this option is checked, Leave Salary is paid separately as Cheque or Cash, and Leave salary will not be added in the salary sheet for Time Sheet Employees.

Note:

If an employee is on leave for 10 days, that 10 days salary will be added in the Additions and Deductions form in the salary sheet if the option ‘Add Leave salary amount in Addition Column of Salary Sheet’ is checked.

If this option is not checked, there will be no payment of leave in the salary sheet. This is per company’s policy.

  • Use Encash Leave

Allows to Encash the Leave Days Balance for Annual Leave. For example, an Employee has Annual Leave balance of 20 days and he/she doesn’t want to go home. He/she can take Cash for that leave balance. If the Employee takes encashment for 10 Days Leave, then the next time he/she creates a “Leave”, his/her Leave Balance will show as 10 only. There are settings for selection of allowances for Encashment in the advanced setup.

The user can select Encash Leave Items from the list in the advanced setup.

When ‘Encash Leave’ is checked in the leave’s creation activity dialog, the number of leave days will be encashed as per the setup. Leave Days will be deducted from the Leave balance.

Note:

Negative Leave Days will not be Encashed.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Don’t create any type of leave until the employee returns from leave

If this box is checked, the employee on leave cannot extend or take any leaves until he/she returns from leave.

To create any leave, user must return from the previous leave. This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • If an Employee Returned Earlier than expected from Annual Leave, the Default option for the Adjustment type:

Create Loan:

e.g.: An employee goes on 20 days paid leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, days leave back.

He/she must refund the leave salary for 10 days and get the 10

Deduct the leave days only:

e.g.: Employee goes on 20 days leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, so if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money, but his 10 days leaves will be deducted.

Keep the Balance Leave Days:

E.g. Employee goes for 20 days leave and he comes back by 10 (If the company calls him back due to urgent work), if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money and Company will not deduct the leave balance from his leaves.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

NOTE:

In all the above cases Employee will get salary.

  • At the time of “Leave return”, Calculate the leave Balance from the Leave Start

Date (if the Leave is Extended):

e.g.: An Employee goes on leave for 15 days and he extends leave for 5 days, the system will calculate the Leave Balance from the Leave start date, i.e., 20 days if this option is checked.

If not checked, his leave balance will be calculated from the extended leave. [Clarification]

  • Calculate leave Provision

✓   Calculate the provision for working (Present) Days

The image displayed above represents a closeup view of the EOS Setup where users get to choose and apply the suitable actions and requirements.

Moreover, the cases displayed below represents several calculations regarding the End of Service.

However, the results might vary between one user and another depending on how the setup is made among users

Case 1:

If the setup is     

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days, EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100

360

100 X 70.115073 (Eligible Days) =7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

Note:

1. Total Days is calculated as total no of Calendar Days. i.e., 1219 days her

2. When ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set (By Default zero), then the years calculated as (as example shown above) 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if 3 years 4 Months and 2 Days.

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is set as 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 2:

If the setup is      

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 365 Days,

EOS basis = 360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then, the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Case 3:

If the setup is    

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 4:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 Days

EOS basis = 360 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then the Leave salary will be:

(3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 5:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis = 365 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10)/360=1000 [basis: 360]

Case 6:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 days,

EOS basis is = 365 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be:

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (300*12*10)/ 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Note:

– Users can have separate settings for EOS regardless of the Company setup. They can also have the same settings as per the company policy.

-In EOS, the system will calculate the actual leave days. i.e., If the Transfer to next year is No (In Leave setup) and EOS is created for the Employee in March, the Leave days will be 7 or 8 days.

– If the Leave Salary Calculation basis is Not checked, then it will be calculated Based on the Salary calculation setup:

i.e., If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10

1. Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360

2. Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 *10) / 365

6. Timesheet Policy

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Timesheet Setup

Time sheet is based on Actual month days. There is no fixed 30 days for time sheet. Time Sheet has three types: Detailed Timesheet, Summary Timesheet and Monthly Timesheet.

The following are steps to Setup Time sheet:

i. Time Sheet Setup

ii.Unit lis

iii.Shift and Holiday setup

i Timesheet and OT Setup v. Sample Calculation

Important Note:

After completing the setup of Time Sheet, it’s strongly recommended for the user to do the following:

Assign Employees to Time Sheet Assign Employees to Project Assign Employees to Shift Assign Employees to Supervisor (This is for Web application user) Do this from Timesheet main menu.

61. Timesheet Setup

There are three Types of Time Sheet, Detailed, Summary and Monthly.

  • Time Sheet Detailed

-In Time Sheet Detailed, Entries are made on Daily Basis (By Date)

-Presence hours are prefilled as fully Present (Based on Auto fill setup or manually fill)

-Each Day should be filled including the Absence Hours (if any).

-Shift setup can be in Hours or Days.

-Users can select the option; Use Time Reader Machine’ if they have any.

  • Time Sheet Summary

–     In Time Sheet Summary, Entries can be made on Monthly basis

If the option “Deduct Holidays” when the Labor is absent, the system will deduct the salary of holidays and off days based on the percentage of absence from the whole month

If shift is setup in hours, then monthly present Hours

If shift is setup in days, then number of days present

Basis of Calculation of Absence(Hours) and Basis of Calculation of Absence(Days):  If the user fills the Basis of Calculation of Absence; the system will calculate the absence hours separately based on the Basis that the user filled and Subtracted from the total Monthly salary. If the user keeps this blank, the system will calculate present hours only.

E.g.: (Month is January: 31 Days (248 Hours)). Monthly salary of the employee is 3000, Employee is absent for 5 days (40 hours)

If not filled: The system will calculate by taking the present Hours only (248-40=208) Salary=3000*208/248=2516.12

If filled as 240 hours basis: The system will calculate absent days first and deduct from the total monthly salary

Absence=3000*40/240=500

Salary=3000-500=2500

  • Time Sheet Monthly

In Time Sheet (Monthly basis), only the present days are available.

Overtime Hours per Day (Normal): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in normal days.

Overtime Hours per Day (Holidays): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in Holidays.

Maximum number of days Labor can work: Users can set the maximum number of holidays he/she can work.

Note:

1. Most users use detail Timesheet

2. This Timesheet can be used by both; Labors and Employee

3. Users cannot switch (change) between 3 tabs in the same month. However, the user can do this in the next month after creating and approving the salary sheet of the previous month and when there are no leaves effective on the next month.

Note:

When the status is selected as Leave, Holiday (which cannot be set as status from here), a message saying ‘It is automatically from activities, can’t be selected from Time Sheet’ will pop up.

In the above example, when the user changes ‘From Time/To Time’ of morning (1st)

shift, the hours will be added to Units and the salary will be for total no. of units (248 +3= 251 hours here). When the user changes the “To Time” of evening (2nd) shift, it will be added as overtime and paid as OT amount.

Notes:

1. The Status ‘Leave’ is from the HR activit For Timesheet Employees, Leaves can be created from HR activities.

2. The Status ‘Absence’ is set from her When Absence is selected, “calculate” will be set to ‘No’ by default.

3. Users can set Calculate = ’Yes’ for Absence, then, absence day will be paid as any other Working d I.e., that day will be calculated for monthly salary calculation.

4. Users cannot create absence from HR Activit

5. When absence creation dialog is opened from HR activities, it will list only the HR Employee

6. Users can select “absent” as a status from Timesheet.

7. While creating Leave (from activities), users cannot have the “Payment Type” to be ‘Pay Now’ for Timesheet Employees.

Each Time Sheet can be linked to Projects.

Time Sheet can be changed from Detailed to Summary and Summary to Detailed

  • If Changed from Detailed to Summary, all data will be converted to Summary for that month
  • If changed from Detailed to Summary, the data in that month will not change to Summary but from next months, it will be in Summary.

Deduct Absent days from the service period for Timesheet Employees:

If this option is checked, the absence days will not be included in the service period for Timesheet Employees.

Note:

When leave is created, it affects Timesheet. The status will be changed by default to “Leave” in the Timesheet as per the created leave date.

6-2. Unit List:

It shows the available units and notes:

Hours: Applicable to Timesheet Summary and Detailed

Days: Applicable to Timesheet Summary, Detailed and Monthly.

Create Shift Tab:

63. Shift & Holiday Setup

Setting up of Shifts To setup shifts, go to File → Settings → Time Sheet → Shift & Holiday Setup

–     Shifts can be created based on Business Activity

–     In Create Shifts, define Shift code (e.g. Morning / Evening, Day / Night etc.)

–      Select what is the type of Shift from a Dropdown Menu (e.g. Day / Hours). Users must specify the shift timings when Unit Type is Hours.

When Shift is of Unit Type ‘Hours’, users can split the time, i.e., Split the shift into two as below: Morning and Afternoon. In this case, timesheet will have 2 entries for each case.

When Shifts of Unit Type is ‘Days’, timing will not be shown in the timesheet. And default hours will be taken for calculation.

–      No. of Shifts means, if there is a break in the Working hours, the user can setup 2 shifts e.g.: 8-1 and 4-8 (Only applicable if Type is Hours)

–     Units mean: How many Hours in a shift (Only applicable if shift Type is Hours)

–     More Shifts can be created based on the Company setup.

–     The maximum number of shifts will always be one if the shift setup is by day

Note:

–            In case there is no setup of the shift, the system will read working hours from the box at the bottom of this tab.

1. With this facility, it helps the user to use this setup in all type of busin

2. The Timesheet will be filled automatically based on this shift setup. Therefore, at the time of filling Timesheet for labors, the number of hours will be displayed automatic

3. Users can assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for Different period.

4. Users cannot assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for the SAME period.

5. Users can have two Hourly shifts in one month.

Set Shift Tab:

–     Here, users can select the “Start Day” of the week.

–     Check the Day to make it “Day off”.

–     Allow to Change Holiday.

1. It is applicable only for Summary Time Sheet

2. If this option is Activated, Holiday Hours can be modified manually in Summary Time Sheet. For example, in a month, there are 4 Fridays so 32 hours are Holiday Hou We can change 32 to 24 or 40 whatever as off hours.

–     Include Holiday Units in the Total Month Units there is No Absence.

Checking and unchecking this box will not affect the salary sheet if

If Box is selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary ={Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

31 * 8

If Box is NOT selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary =

{Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

27 * 8

Note:

Salary will be the same if there is NO Absence. For Example,

Month is January, No. of hours per day is 8 hours, 4 holidays (Friday) Employee salary is AED 3000. He was absent for 1 day in the month. The calculation in both cases will be as follows:

– If ticked, total No. of Hours worked= 248– 8 = 240 Hours

{3000*240}    =  2903

31 * 8

–       If not ticked, Holiday hours will be excluded: No. of Hours worked= 216 – 8 = 208 Hours

{3000*208}      =   2889

27 * 8

Set Holidays Tab:

– This Tab is reads Holidays from Company Settings and more Holidays can be added in Set Holidays. I.e., Company Setup→ Holliday Settings→Public Holidays Tab

In this window, users can assign the holidays to shift, this means if the box is checked, the company will pay the holiday days to labors under this shift.

-Note that the number of shifts displayed in this window is based on the number of shifts setup reading from Tab 1.

– The company can define paid holidays to some or all shifts.

-The company can define which types of holidays can be paid or not. E.g. fixed holidays can be paid or not.

Summary Tab:

– Summary shows the Setup for Each Shift and the Calculations for the Shift Hours.

– Show the total working units per week and month.

6-4. Timesheet & OT Time:

Over Time (OT) is one of the main features which provides the ability to customize the user (Admin) requirements and needs as per the company and country policy.

Shift:

Select Shift code from Dropdown

Max OT:

Put here the Maximum Overtime allowed for that Shift per Day.

OT:

Check this option to enable Over Time Calculation. Uncheck this box will not allow the user to enter settings for Overtime calculation (It will be disabled) from here and In Timesheet there will be no calculation for OT.

Basis:

Here, users can put the Basis for Over Time calculation. Over time calculation will be divided by the Value entered. If No value is entered, the system will use Actual Month Hours as basis.

For Example, an Employee monthly salary is AED 3,000. OT rate is 1.25 hours and he worked for 20 hours as OT. Calculations will be the following:

Day:

Here, the user can define Multiple Days for OT rates. For example, Normal Days, Holidays and / or Other Days (Festivals / National Day etc.)

Rate:

Define over Time Rate as per Day types defined. For Example, normal day rate could be1.25, Holidays could be 1.5 and festival days could be 2 and so on as per company policy.

Normal Days:

Total working Hours in a Day is 8 hours and If an employee works for 10 hours, extra 2 hours will be paid as overtime as per the rate (1.25) specified.

Off Days (Fridays):

If an employee works on Friday which is a paid day and the company wants to consider this day as 2 days, meaning that the Company wants to pay 16 hours, we will convert the one day (8 Hours) into OT hours like this: 4 Hours OT with Rate2 so total is: 8 hours will be paid along with the normal paid Friday.

Holidays:

Same as off days.

Hours:

Here, define the maximum hours for a defined rate. For example, in Normal days, if the user puts 4 here, he/she can work maximum 4 hours at the rate 1.25.

Autofill:

Select Yes / No from Auto fill. This helps in automatically filling the over time. For example, standard shift time is 8 hours. In the Time Sheet, the time is filled for employee from 9am to 8pm. The system will automatically fill OT 3 hours if Auto fill is “Yes” is selected, otherwise fill Over time Manually.

Calculate OT:

Fill yes if calculation for OT is required. If calculate is “No”, then the employee will be able to enter OT in Timesheet, but the system will not calculate the overtime and it will not be paid in the salary sheet. This is as per Company Policy.

Salary item:

Select which Salary item user want to pay over time. Normally over time is paid on Basic Salary, but the user can add different salary items for OT calculation.

Allow to change Over Time Manually

By selecting this option, user can change the OT manually in the Time Sheet. If not selected, user cannot change OT manually. User must change the Shift time in Time Sheet.

For e.g.: If this option is checked, then employee can enter OT under different rates. If not checked, user must change the To Time, which will update the OT for corresponding rate.

-Automatically adjust time

By selecting this option, once the user changes OT in Time Sheet, the system will automatically update the Shift time. If not selected, the user must adjust time manually.

Note:

HR Employees are not applicable for Overtime Setup

6-5. Sample Calculation:

It gives Information in General: Calculations for normal hourly rate and normal daily rates, Overtime rate for normal and Holidays.

E.g.:

If the requirement of the company to calculate overtime is as below: Regular days:

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.25

After 21:00 (after 9 PM)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Fridays Days Off (If compensated with other days)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If not compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 2.50

Then he can do the OT Setup as below

The user can put OT in the rate 1.25 on regular days till 21:00 and after that in rate 1.50. OT on Holidays (Friday) if compensated with other days, he/she can put in rate 1.50. OT on official days if compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 1.5 and if not compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 2.50. Therefore, the user can do accordingly as per their requirement.

After it is done, save Time Sheet and go to Payroll for Salary Sheet.

Note:

If there is more than 1 shift for a month, users must assign the different shifts before creating Timesheet.

E.g. Ramadan Timing for a company is 6 Hours (8 AM to 2 PM), if it started on June 29, and the user wants the timesheet entry to have 6 hours, then

-Create 1 new shift ‘RAMADAN’ from Create Shifts Tab

–     Assign employees to shift for Ramadan month (June 29th to July 27th)

–     i.e. Assign Employee to shift as below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

Now while creating the Timesheet for June, last 2 entries will be for 6 hours as below.

Note:

If the user forgets to assign different shift for Ramadan, and the timesheet is created for Normal shift, he/she must delete the Created Timesheet for month of Ramadan and Assign Employees to ‘RAMADAN’ shift and recreate the Timesheet again to cause effect.

Case 1:

Timesheet Employees, for e.g., timing is 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM; if the Employee is late for 2 hours and he/she comes at 10:00 AM, then the user can set the First 2 hours (08:00 AM to 10:00 AM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’No’ and next 6 hours (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’, and (01:00 PM to 05:00 PM)  as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’ Then the Total units for calculation will be 6 hours. (As shown in the image above).

Case 2:

If the OT Hours per Day (Normal) is set as 2 (In Company Setup) and Overtime Hours is set as 4 (In Timesheet and OT Setup), then the Employee will be allowed to work for 4 hours OT in Normal Day and it will be paid for 4 Hours as OT in the salary sheet. But as the user set OT Hours per Day (Normal)=2, which can be viewed from the report that OT is for 2 hours and rest 2 hours OT will be paid as Addition.

Case 3:

If the user sets Calculate = ‘No’ in the time Sheet setup, then even if the user put OT in Timesheet, it will not be calculated. The Overtime amount will not be shown\added in the salary sheet. This is per company policy.

Important:

  • If Pay through salary sheet is selected, the amount to be given to the Employee is added to the Salary sheet in columns and the amount to be deducted from the Employee is also shown in the Salary Sheet.
  • If Pay through the Payment Voucher is selected, nothing will affect the  alary sheet in any columns.
  • If Air Ticket is provided as Pay through Salary sheet, then it will be added in an Additional column of the Salary sheet for Both HR and Timesheet Employees.
  • For Timesheet Employees, Absence salary is not paid in a separate column for Pay through salary sheet. Here, the salary is paid for the present days. i.e., If an Employee is absent for 2 days, the salary is paid for 28 if it is a 30 days month. Therefore, the amount is showed for 28 days in the Salarysheet, not a separate column for absence deduction.
  • The user can pay for OT to Timesheet Employees only if “calculate OT” is yes.

The Amount will be shown in a separate column as Total OT.

  • For HR Employees, if 1-day absence, 1 day will be deducted from the total days of a Month based on the setup. I.e., if the setup is Actual month days and Employee’s absence deducted ting from January, then the salary will be for total days = 30 days (31– 1 = 30, 1-day(s) absence will be deducted). If the setup is Fixed 30 Days and Employee absence is deducting from January, then salary will be for 29 Days.
  • For Timesheet Employees, we calculate present days only. It is always based on Actual Month Days. So, when there is an Absence, the user can change the Status to ‘Absent’ for the absent day and that day will not be calculated.
  • Remember that Company Employees can be defined (split in 2 parts) as employees or Times employee setesyee. An HR Employee will get his/her salary automatically, but a Timesheet employee will not get the salary unless the Timesheet is filled.

Salary Calculation:

It’s important for the user to understand the method of salary calculation of the employee and the relatedness with other activities such as absence, leave and so on. In this part, we will explain the process in detail for better understanding.

Hinawi Software has 2 ways of calculation basis: –

➔ Fixed 30 Days

In this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless if the month is January, February or April.

➔ Actual Month Days

In this basis the  system calculates the number of days in the month. Therefore, January is:31 days, February is: 28/29 days, and April is: 30 days.

Note:

Net to pay the amount in Salary sheet is rounding and no decimal points.

e.g. 29.22 will be ,2903 and 2892.86 ,will be 2893 as shown in the above table.,

i.e. 0.5 and more will be consonedered, as 1 and less than .5 will be ignored.

The user can do the settings from Additional Settings.

Both affect the calculations of monthly salary for the following activities cases:  Absence and Leave.

When there is 1 Day Leave:

When there is 1 Day Absent:

Note:

1. Leave Salary Calculation Basis is enabled only If the salary calculation is Actual

Month Days. When salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days, this option is disabled.

2. If EOS is created for an employee (resign or terminated), the remaining of leave salary and unpaid salaries will show in EOS for

Calculate Actual Leave Days if salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days:

e.g.: If this option is checked, and an Employee takes a leave for 5 days on Feb 27, then the leave days will be 5 (27,28 & 1,2,3). If this option is not checked, the leave days calculated will be 7 (27, 28, 29, 30 & 1, 2, 3).

Note:

  • The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month given while reading an absence. E.g., an employee was absent from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. Therefore, while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence day salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.
  • Calculation of Leave Days (for all types of leaves) is always based on the ACTUAL MONTH DAYS.

Special Cases When:

1. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Leave Days if the setup is “Deduct from Leaves”. And absent day salary will be deducted if the setup is “Deduct from Salary”.

2. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on 28th Feb, then absent salary will be deducted from the effective month if the setup is “deduct from salary”.

3. An absence is created for an employee, and the setup type is deducted from:

leaves → annual leaves, then it will deduct the leave days from the annual Leave Balance.

4. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. But will not be paid for that 1 day since it is fixed 30 days.

5. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on 28th, leaves will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. Salary is calculated for 27 working days to  + 1 day leave salary. For the next 2 days (29 and 30) salary needs to be added as separate in addition and deduction manually by the user. And next month salary (March) will be fotwo 30 Days and 2 days salary in the Addition column.

Important:

Changing between Basis of calculation:

When the user wants to change the Basis of calculation or anything else in SETUP, the activities like Leaves, absence, salary sheet and EOS must be approved before proceeding (if there will not be any further changes on activities in the future.)

Note:

  • We advise the user to approve all the activities (If there is no change later)

before changing the setup.

  • We also advise users to create salary sheet before proceeding with changes in the setup. Also, to start doing changes in setup after approving the salary sheet.
  • Activities approved before changing the policy (Setup) will remain the same and will not change after filling a new policy. I.e., There will be no effect on the calculation if there are changes between 2 methods when activities and salaries are approved.
  • New calculation will affect the new activities reading from new changes in setup.
  • If the user wants to affect the new changes in activities created already, then recreate the activities after changing the company policy.

Exceptional:

  • Calculate First Month Salary as Actual Days Worked:

If thefor  setup is fixed 30 days and the employee joining date is not 30 days month, calculate the working days based on the actual month.

Note:

By Default, this option will be checked. We strongly reclaimed keeping this checked. e.g. Employee joined on 27/01 so total working days will be: 5 days and will be calculated as 5/30 X Total Salary.

Employee joined on 27/02 so total working days will be: 2 days and will be calculated as 2/30 X Total Salary.

  • Include Employees in the salary sheet who joined on or before   of the Month this allows the user to include an employee who joined the company before the given datheirhe month and his/her salary is generated in the salary sheet.

e.g.: If an employee joins on 20th of a month and we set the above     to 22, then he will be included in the salary sheet of this month.

  • Show the Standard Salary Information in Salary Sheet Columns: If checked, the standard monthly salary will be seen in salary sheet as information only.
  • Allow to Edit Employee salary Information even if the salary sheet is approved: This option Allows user to change the Employee Salary Information even if the Salary Sheet is approved. This option is added for employees whose salaries have increased after approving the salary sheet. Therefore, the system allows these changes for history status purposes regarding salary. This does not affect the Approved Salary Sheet. It will only affect the future salary sheets.

Note:

Differences the in the salary for previous period will be adjusted in the next salary sheets.

Leave Settings

  • Allow Negative Leave Days:

Allows creating Leaves More than the available Balance

Note:

if Negative Leave Days is filled in with the following value: 5, an Employee has Leave Balance of 15 days; then the system will allow creating a leave for 20 days as Negative days are filled. And this is Applicable for All types of leaves.

When “Allow Negative Leave Days” is checked and the value is zero, it will allow creating leaves only as per the Leave balance. i.e., it simply means as if this option is not checked when the value is zero.

If the leave balance is zero or minus, the user should add Admin password to allow the negative days.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Leave salary calculation basis on:

As default (zero here) it is reading from Payroll settings: Fixed 30 days or Actual month days.

If the user selects any value, the system will ignore reading from the Payroll Settings and reads from here as mentioned below:

If the user selects 360, the system will calculate Leave Salary through the following method:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/360} x Leave Days

If 365, then as follows:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/365} x Leave Days

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

Note:

– The user can change the basis of calculation only if the setup is Actual Month Days.

– If the setup is Fixed 30 days, this option will be disabled.

  • Add Leave salary amount in the “Addition” Column of the Salary Sheet:

This is applicable only for Time Sheet Employees and the payment type of leave is Pay Through Salary Sheet; when the user applies it, the system will calculate the leave salaries and add to the additions and deduction form in the Timesheet software and it will be added to the salaries in the “Addition” column. If this option is not selected, no payment of leave will take place in the Salary sheet. This is per company policy.

  • Pay Leave Salary separate for Time Sheet Employees:

If this option is checked, Leave Salary is paid separately as Cheque or Cash, and Leave salary will not be added in the salary sheet for Time Sheet Employees.

Note:

If an employee is on leave for 10 days, that 10 days salary will be added in the Additions and Deductions form in the salary sheet if the option ‘Add Leave salary amount in Addition Column of Salary Sheet’ is checked.

If this option is not checked, there will be no payment of leave in the salary sheet. This is per company’s policy.

  • Use Encash Leave

If the Employee takes encashment for 10 Days Leave, then the next time he/she creates a “Leave”, his/her Leave Balance will show as 10 only. There are settings for selection of allowances for Encashment in the advanced setup.

The user can select Encash Leave Items from the list in the advanced setup.

When ‘Encash Leave’ is checked in the leave’s creation activity dialog, the number of leave days will be encashed as per the setup. Leave Days will be deducted from the Leave balance.

Note:

Negative Leave Days will not be Encashed.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Don’t create any type of leave until the employee returns from leave

If this box is checked, the employee on leave cannot extend or take any leaves until he/she returns from leave.

To create any leave, user must return from the previous leave. This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • If an Employee Returned Earlier than expected from Annual Leave, the Default option for the Adjustment type:

Create Loan:

e.g.: An employee goes on 20 days paid leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, days leave back.

He/she must refund the leave salary for 10 days and get the 10

Deduct the leave days only:

e.g.: Employee goes on 20 days leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, so if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money, but his 10 days leaves will be deducted.

Keep the Balance Leave Days:

E.g. Employee goes for 20 days leave and he comes back by 10 (If the company calls him back due to urgent work), if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money and Company will not deduct the leave balance from his leaves.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

NOTE:

In all the above cases Employee will get salary.

  • At the time of “Leave return”, Calculate the leave Balance from the Leave Start

Date (if the Leave is Extended):

e.g.: An Employee goes on leave for 15 days and he extends leave for 5 days, the system will calculate the Leave Balance from the Leave start date, i.e., 20 days if this option is checked.

If not checked, his leave balance will be calculated from the extended leave. [Clarification]

The Calculation summary is the following:

Note:

If Leave Salary Calculation basis is 0 Days, then it will read the setup from Payroll Settings. If setup is actual month days, then the leave days is divided by 365 Days, if setup is fixed 30 days, then leave days is divided by 360 Days.

The image displayed above represents a closeup view of the EOS Setup where users get to choose and apply the suitable actions and requirements.

Moreover, the cases displayed below represents several calculations regarding the End of Service.

However, the results might vary between one user and another depending on how the setup is made among users

Case 1:

If the setup is     

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days, EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100

360

100 X 70.115073 (Eligible Days) =7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

Note:

1. Total Days is calculated as total no of Calendar Days. i.e., 1219 days her

2. When ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set (By Default zero), then the years calculated as (as example shown above) 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if 3 years 4 Months and 2 Days.

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is set as 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 2:

If the setup is      

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 365 Days,

EOS basis = 360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then, the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Case 3:

If the setup is    

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 4:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 Days

EOS basis = 360 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then the Leave salary will be:

(3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 5:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis = 365 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10)/360=1000 [basis: 360]

Case 6:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 days,

EOS basis is = 365 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be:

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (300*12*10)/ 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Note:

– Users can have separate settings for EOS regardless of the Company setup. They can also have the same settings as per the company policy.

-In EOS, the system will calculate the actual leave days. i.e., If the Transfer to next year is No (In Leave setup) and EOS is created for the Employee in March, the Leave days will be 7 or 8 days.

– If the Leave Salary Calculation basis is Not checked, then it will be calculated Based on the Salary calculation setup:

i.e., If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10

1. Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360

2. Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 *10) / 365

6. Timesheet Policy

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Timesheet Setup

Time sheet is based on Actual month days. There is no fixed 30 days for time sheet. Time Sheet has three types: Detailed Timesheet, Summary Timesheet and Monthly Timesheet.

The following are steps to Setup Time sheet:

i. Time Sheet Setup

ii.Unit lis

iii.Shift and Holiday setup

i Timesheet and OT Setup v. Sample Calculation

Important Note:

After completing the setup of Time Sheet, it’s strongly recommended for the user to do the following:

Assign Employees to Time Sheet Assign Employees to Project Assign Employees to Shift Assign Employees to Supervisor (This is for Web application user) Do this from Timesheet main menu.

61. Timesheet Setup

There are three Types of Time Sheet, Detailed, Summary and Monthly.

  • Time Sheet Detailed

-In Time Sheet Detailed, Entries are made on Daily Basis (By Date)

-Presence hours are prefilled as fully Present (Based on Auto fill setup or manually fill)

-Each Day should be filled including the Absence Hours (if any).

-Shift setup can be in Hours or Days.

-Users can select the option; Use Time Reader Machine’ if they have any.

  • Time Sheet Summary

–     In Time Sheet Summary, Entries can be made on Monthly basis

If the option “Deduct Holidays” when the Labor is absent, the system will deduct the salary of holidays and off days based on the percentage of absence from the whole month

If shift is setup in hours, then monthly present Hours

If shift is setup in days, then number of days present

Basis of Calculation of Absence(Hours) and Basis of Calculation of Absence(Days):  If the user fills the Basis of Calculation of Absence; the system will calculate the absence hours separately based on the Basis that the user filled and Subtracted from the total Monthly salary. If the user keeps this blank, the system will calculate present hours only.

E.g.: (Month is January: 31 Days (248 Hours)). Monthly salary of the employee is 3000, Employee is absent for 5 days (40 hours)

If not filled: The system will calculate by taking the present Hours only (248-40=208) Salary=3000*208/248=2516.12

If filled as 240 hours basis: The system will calculate absent days first and deduct from the total monthly salary

Absence=3000*40/240=500

Salary=3000-500=2500

  • Time Sheet Monthly

In Time Sheet (Monthly basis), only the present days are available.

Overtime Hours per Day (Normal): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in normal days.

Overtime Hours per Day (Holidays): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in Holidays.

Maximum number of days Labor can work: Users can set the maximum number of holidays he/she can work.

Note:

1. Most users use detail Timesheet

2. This Timesheet can be used by both; Labors and Employee

3. Users cannot switch (change) between 3 tabs in the same month. However, the user can do this in the next month after creating and approving the salary sheet of the previous month and when there are no leaves effective on the next month.

Note:

When the status is selected as Leave, Holiday (which cannot be set as status from here), a message saying ‘It is automatically from activities, can’t be selected from Time Sheet’ will pop up.

In the above example, when the user changes ‘From Time/To Time’ of morning (1st)

shift, the hours will be added to Units and the salary will be for total no. of units (248 +3= 251 hours here). When the user changes the “To Time” of evening (2nd) shift, it will be added as overtime and paid as OT amount.

Notes:

1. The Status ‘Leave’ is from the HR activit For Timesheet Employees, Leaves can be created from HR activities.

2. The Status ‘Absence’ is set from her When Absence is selected, “calculate” will be set to ‘No’ by default.

3. Users can set Calculate = ’Yes’ for Absence, then, absence day will be paid as any other Working d I.e., that day will be calculated for monthly salary calculation.

4. Users cannot create absence from HR Activit

5. When absence creation dialog is opened from HR activities, it will list only the HR Employee

6. Users can select “absent” as a status from Timesheet.

7. While creating Leave (from activities), users cannot have the “Payment Type” to be ‘Pay Now’ for Timesheet Employees.

Each Time Sheet can be linked to Projects.

Time Sheet can be changed from Detailed to Summary and Summary to Detailed

  • If Changed from Detailed to Summary, all data will be converted to Summary for that month
  • If changed from Detailed to Summary, the data in that month will not change to Summary but from next months, it will be in Summary.

Deduct Absent days from the service period for Timesheet Employees:

If this option is checked, the absence days will not be included in the service period for Timesheet Employees.

Note:

When leave is created, it affects Timesheet. The status will be changed by default to “Leave” in the Timesheet as per the created leave date.

6-2. Unit List:

It shows the available units and notes:

Hours: Applicable to Timesheet Summary and Detailed

Days: Applicable to Timesheet Summary, Detailed and Monthly.

Create Shift Tab:

1. With this facility, it helps the user to use this setup in all type of busin

2. The Timesheet will be filled automatically based on this shift setup. Therefore, at the time of filling Timesheet for labors, the number of hours will be displayed automatic

3. Users can assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for Different period.

4. Users cannot assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for the SAME period.

5. Users can have two Hourly shifts in one month.

Set Shift Tab:

–     Here, users can select the “Start Day” of the week.

–     Check the Day to make it “Day off”.

–     Allow to Change Holiday.

1. It is applicable only for Summary Time Sheet

2. If this option is Activated, Holiday Hours can be modified manually in Summary Time Sheet. For example, in a month, there are 4 Fridays so 32 hours are Holiday Hou We can change 32 to 24 or 40 whatever as off hours.

–     Include Holiday Units in the Total Month Units there is No Absence.

Checking and unchecking this box will not affect the salary sheet if

If Box is selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary ={Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

31 * 8

If Box is NOT selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary =

{Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

27 * 8

Note:

Salary will be the same if there is NO Absence. For Example,

Month is January, No. of hours per day is 8 hours, 4 holidays (Friday) Employee salary is AED 3000. He was absent for 1 day in the month. The calculation in both cases will be as follows:

– If ticked, total No. of Hours worked= 248– 8 = 240 Hours

{3000*240}    =  2903

31 * 8

–       If not ticked, Holiday hours will be excluded: No. of Hours worked= 216 – 8 = 208 Hours

{3000*208}      =   2889

27 * 8

Set Holidays Tab:

– This Tab is reads Holidays from Company Settings and more Holidays can be added in Set Holidays. I.e., Company Setup→ Holliday Settings→Public Holidays Tab

6-4. Timesheet & OT Time:

Over Time (OT) is one of the main features which provides the ability to customize the user (Admin) requirements and needs as per the company and country policy.

Shift:

Select Shift code from Dropdown

Max OT:

Put here the Maximum Overtime allowed for that Shift per Day.

OT:

Check this option to enable Over Time Calculation. Uncheck this box will not allow the user to enter settings for Overtime calculation (It will be disabled) from here and In Timesheet there will be no calculation for OT.

Basis:

Here, users can put the Basis for Over Time calculation. Over time calculation will be divided by the Value entered. If No value is entered, the system will use Actual Month Hours as basis.

For Example, an Employee monthly salary is AED 3,000. OT rate is 1.25 hours and he worked for 20 hours as OT. Calculations will be the following:

Day:

Here, the user can define Multiple Days for OT rates. For example, Normal Days, Holidays and / or Other Days (Festivals / National Day etc.)

Rate:

Define over Time Rate as per Day types defined. For Example, normal day rate could be1.25, Holidays could be 1.5 and festival days could be 2 and so on as per company policy.

Normal Days:

Total working Hours in a Day is 8 hours and If an employee works for 10 hours, extra 2 hours will be paid as overtime as per the rate (1.25) specified.

Off Days (Fridays):

If an employee works on Friday which is a paid day and the company wants to consider this day as 2 days, meaning that the Company wants to pay 16 hours, we will convert the one day (8 Hours) into OT hours like this: 4 Hours OT with Rate2 so total is: 8 hours will be paid along with the normal paid Friday.

Holidays:

Same as off days.

Hours:

Here, define the maximum hours for a defined rate. For example, in Normal days, if the user puts 4 here, he/she can work maximum 4 hours at the rate 1.25.

Autofill:

Select Yes / No from Auto fill. This helps in automatically filling the over time. For example, standard shift time is 8 hours. In the Time Sheet, the time is filled for employee from 9am to 8pm. The system will automatically fill OT 3 hours if Auto fill is “Yes” is selected, otherwise fill Over time Manually.

Calculate OT:

Fill yes if calculation for OT is required. If calculate is “No”, then the employee will be able to enter OT in Timesheet, but the system will not calculate the overtime and it will not be paid in the salary sheet. This is as per Company Policy.

Salary item:

Select which Salary item user want to pay over time. Normally over time is paid on Basic Salary, but the user can add different salary items for OT calculation.

Allow to change Over Time Manually

By selecting this option, user can change the OT manually in the Time Sheet. If not selected, user cannot change OT manually. User must change the Shift time in Time Sheet.

For e.g.: If this option is checked, then employee can enter OT under different rates. If not checked, user must change the To Time, which will update the OT for corresponding rate.

-Automatically adjust time

By selecting this option, once the user changes OT in Time Sheet, the system will automatically update the Shift time. If not selected, the user must adjust time manually.

Note:

HR Employees are not applicable for Overtime Setup

6-5. Sample Calculation:

It gives Information in General: Calculations for normal hourly rate and normal daily rates, Overtime rate for normal and Holidays.

E.g.:

If the requirement of the company to calculate overtime is as below: Regular days:

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.25

After 21:00 (after 9 PM)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Fridays Days Off (If compensated with other days)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If not compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 2.50

Then he can do the OT Setup as below

The user can put OT in the rate 1.25 on regular days till 21:00 and after that in rate 1.50. OT on Holidays (Friday) if compensated with other days, he/she can put in rate 1.50. OT on official days if compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 1.5 and if not compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 2.50. Therefore, the user can do accordingly as per their requirement.

After it is done, save Time Sheet and go to Payroll for Salary Sheet.

Note:

If there is more than 1 shift for a month, users must assign the different shifts before creating Timesheet.

E.g. Ramadan Timing for a company is 6 Hours (8 AM to 2 PM), if it started on June 29, and the user wants the timesheet entry to have 6 hours, then

-Create 1 new shift ‘RAMADAN’ from Create Shifts Tab

–     Assign employees to shift for Ramadan month (June 29th to July 27th)

–     i.e. Assign Employee to shift as below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

Now while creating the Timesheet for June, last 2 entries will be for 6 hours as below.

Note:

If the user forgets to assign different shift for Ramadan, and the timesheet is created for Normal shift, he/she must delete the Created Timesheet for month of Ramadan and Assign Employees to ‘RAMADAN’ shift and recreate the Timesheet again to cause effect.

Case 1:

Timesheet Employees, for e.g., timing is 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM; if the Employee is late for 2 hours and he/she comes at 10:00 AM, then the user can set the First 2 hours (08:00 AM to 10:00 AM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’No’ and next 6 hours (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’, and (01:00 PM to 05:00 PM)  as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’ Then the Total units for calculation will be 6 hours. (As shown in the image above).

Case 2:

If the OT Hours per Day (Normal) is set as 2 (In Company Setup) and Overtime Hours is set as 4 (In Timesheet and OT Setup), then the Employee will be allowed to work for 4 hours OT in Normal Day and it will be paid for 4 Hours as OT in the salary sheet. But as the user set OT Hours per Day (Normal)=2, which can be viewed from the report that OT is for 2 hours and rest 2 hours OT will be paid as Addition.

Case 3:

If the user sets Calculate = ‘No’ in the time Sheet setup, then even if the user put OT in Timesheet, it will not be calculated. The Overtime amount will not be shown\added in the salary sheet. This is per company policy.

  • For Timesheet Employees, Absence salary is not paid in a separate column for Pay through salary sheet. Here, the salary is paid for the present days. i.e., If an Employee is absent for 2 days, the salary is paid for 28 if it is a 30 days month. Therefore, the amount is showed for 28 days in the Salarysheet, not a separate column for absence deduction.
  • The user can pay for OT to Timesheet Employees only if “calculate OT” is yes.

The Amount will be shown in a separate column as Total OT.

  • For HR Employees, if 1-day absence, 1 day will be deducted from the total days of a Month based on the setup. I.e., if the setup is Actual month days and Employee’s absence deducted ting from January, then the salary will be for total days = 30 days (31– 1 = 30, 1-day(s) absence will be deducted). If the setup is Fixed 30 Days and Employee absence is deducting from January, then salary will be for 29 Days.
  • For Timesheet Employees, we calculate present days only. It is always based on Actual Month Days. So, when there is an Absence, the user can change the Status to ‘Absent’ for the absent day and that day will not be calculated.

Salary Calculation:

It’s important for the user to understand the method of salary calculation of the employee and the relatedness with other activities such as absence, leave and so on. In this part, we will explain the process in detail for better understanding.

Hinawi Software has 2 ways of calculation basis: –

➔ Fixed 30 Days

In this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless if the month is January, February or April.

➔ Actual Month Days

In this basis the  system calculates the number of days in the month. Therefore, January is:31 days, February is: 28/29 days, and April is: 30 days.

Note:

Net to pay the amount in Salary sheet is rounding and no decimal points.

e.g. 29.22 will be ,2903 and 2892.86 ,will be 2893 as shown in the above table.,

i.e. 0.5 and more will be consonedered, as 1 and less than .5 will be ignored.

The user can do the settings from Additional Settings.

Both affect the calculations of monthly salary for the following activities cases:  Absence and Leave.

Case 1:

STANDARD Case. Employee Monthly Salary is 3000 AED, All Salary Item included for Leave calculation, no pension for Non- Locals, Leave Salary Calculation basis on 0 (zero) days, Absence setup is Deduct from Salary, No first month.

Case 2:

Employee Monthly Salary is 3000 AED, All Salary Items included for Leave calculation, no pension for Non- Locals, Leave Salary Calculation Basis on 0 (ZERO) Days, no first month, Setup is Fixed 30 days; Calculate Actual Leave Days if Salary Calculation basis is Fixed 30 Days box is checked.

Case 3:

Employee Monthly Salary is 3000 AED, All Salary Items included for Leave calculation, No pension for Non- Locals, Setup is Actual Month Days; Leave Salary Calculation Basis on 360 Days.

Fixed 30 Days:

On this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless of the month is January, February, or April.

Note:

The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month while creating an absence. E.g., if an employee making from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. this means that while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.

Note:

1. Leave Salary Calculation Basis is enabled only If the salary calculation is Actual

Month Days. When salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days, this option is disabled.

2. If EOS is created for an employee (resign or terminated), the remaining of leave salary and unpaid salaries will show in EOS for

Calculate Actual Leave Days if salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days:

e.g.: If this option is checked, and an Employee takes a leave for 5 days on Feb 27, then the leave days will be 5 (27,28 & 1,2,3). If this option is not checked, the leave days calculated will be 7 (27, 28, 29, 30 & 1, 2, 3).

Note:

  • The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month given while reading an absence. E.g., an employee was absent from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. Therefore, while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence day salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.
  • Calculation of Leave Days (for all types of leaves) is always based on the ACTUAL MONTH DAYS.

Special Cases When:

1. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Leave Days if the setup is “Deduct from Leaves”. And absent day salary will be deducted if the setup is “Deduct from Salary”.

2. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on 28th Feb, then absent salary will be deducted from the effective month if the setup is “deduct from salary”.

3. An absence is created for an employee, and the setup type is deducted from:

leaves → annual leaves, then it will deduct the leave days from the annual Leave Balance.

4. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. But will not be paid for that 1 day since it is fixed 30 days.

5. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on 28th, leaves will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. Salary is calculated for 27 working days to  + 1 day leave salary. For the next 2 days (29 and 30) salary needs to be added as separate in addition and deduction manually by the user. And next month salary (March) will be fotwo 30 Days and 2 days salary in the Addition column.

Important:

Changing between Basis of calculation:

When the user wants to change the Basis of calculation or anything else in SETUP, the activities like Leaves, absence, salary sheet and EOS must be approved before proceeding (if there will not be any further changes on activities in the future.)

Note:

  • We advise the user to approve all the activities (If there is no change later)

before changing the setup.

  • We also advise users to create salary sheet before proceeding with changes in the setup. Also, to start doing changes in setup after approving the salary sheet.
  • Activities approved before changing the policy (Setup) will remain the same and will not change after filling a new policy. I.e., There will be no effect on the calculation if there are changes between 2 methods when activities and salaries are approved.
  • New calculation will affect the new activities reading from new changes in setup.
  • If the user wants to affect the new changes in activities created already, then recreate the activities after changing the company policy.

Exceptional:

  • Calculate First Month Salary as Actual Days Worked:

If thefor  setup is fixed 30 days and the employee joining date is not 30 days month, calculate the working days based on the actual month.

Note:

By Default, this option will be checked. We strongly reclaimed keeping this checked. e.g. Employee joined on 27/01 so total working days will be: 5 days and will be calculated as 5/30 X Total Salary.

Employee joined on 27/02 so total working days will be: 2 days and will be calculated as 2/30 X Total Salary.

  • Include Employees in the salary sheet who joined on or before   of the Month this allows the user to include an employee who joined the company before the given datheirhe month and his/her salary is generated in the salary sheet.

  • Allow Negative Leave Days:

Allows creating Leaves More than the available Balance

Note:

if Negative Leave Days is filled in with the following value: 5, an Employee has Leave Balance of 15 days; then the system will allow creating a leave for 20 days as Negative days are filled. And this is Applicable for All types of leaves.

When “Allow Negative Leave Days” is checked and the value is zero, it will allow creating leaves only as per the Leave balance. i.e., it simply means as if this option is not checked when the value is zero.

If the leave balance is zero or minus, the user should add Admin password to allow the negative days.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Leave salary calculation basis on:

As default (zero here) it is reading from Payroll settings: Fixed 30 days or Actual month days.

If the user selects any value, the system will ignore reading from the Payroll Settings and reads from here as mentioned below:

If the user selects 360, the system will calculate Leave Salary through the following method:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/360} x Leave Days

If 365, then as follows:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/365} x Leave Days

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

Note:

– The user can change the basis of calculation only if the setup is Actual Month Days.

Note:

If an employee is on leave for 10 days, that 10 days salary will be added in the Additions and Deductions form in the salary sheet if the option ‘Add Leave salary amount in Addition Column of Salary Sheet’ is checked.

If this option is not checked, there will be no payment of leave in the salary sheet. This is per company’s policy.

There are settings for selection of allowances for Encashment in the advanced setup.

The user can select Encash Leave Items from the list in the advanced setup.

When ‘Encash Leave’ is checked in the leave’s creation activity dialog, the number of leave days will be encashed as per the setup. Leave Days will be deducted from the Leave balance.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Don’t create any type of leave until the employee returns from leave

If this box is checked, the employee on leave cannot extend or take any leaves until he/she returns from leave.

Create Loan:

e.g.: An employee goes on 20 days paid leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, days leave back.

He/she must refund the leave salary for 10 days and get the 10

Deduct the leave days only:

e.g.: Employee goes on 20 days leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, so if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money, but his 10 days leaves will be deducted.

Keep the Balance Leave Days:

E.g. Employee goes for 20 days leave and he comes back by 10 (If the company calls him back due to urgent work), if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money and Company will not deduct the leave balance from his leaves.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

In all the above cases Employee will get salary.

  • At the time of “Leave return”, Calculate the leave Balance from the Leave Start

Date (if the Leave is Extended):

e.g.: An Employee goes on leave for 15 days and he extends leave for 5 days, the system will calculate the Leave Balance from the Leave start date, i.e., 20 days if this option is checked.

If there’s a deduction for the Employee like Fine, and Pay On is 15 Days, it will deduct 15 days salary and will be shown in the Deduction column in the salary sheet.

Note:

If there is no setup for Addition, and the user creates an addition with Pay on 1 month, there will be no value (Zero) in the addition column since there is no setup. This is as per company policy.

If there is no setup for Deduction, and the user creates a deduction with Pay on 1 month, there will be no deduction since the value to be deducted will be zero. This is as per company policy.

55. End of Service (EOS):

Note:

1. Max benefit means: What is the maximum EOS that can be paid to Employee

2. EOS amount or Max benefit, which one is lower will be paid.

Dependable:

-Users can select either Yes or No for ‘Dependable’

– First line is always ‘Yes’ for dependable since there is nothing to depend on from a previous line.

-If the option is “Yes” from years 1 to 3 and 3 to 5, calculated days are 7 days for 1 to 3 years, and 14 days for 3 to 5 years as per the EOS setup.

-If option “No” is selected from years 3 to 5, calculated days are 7 for 1 to 3 years, but any sooner employee who has a service period that exceeds 3 years will enable getting 14 days for all previous years as well.

Note:

Leave Calculation Basis:

-Users can check the box and set the basis to 360 or 365 Days.

-By Default, this option is unchecked with a value zero (i.e., basis is not set) which means that the leave calculation is based on the salary setup.

-If the basis is not set and leave days are 10 the salary calculation is: Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be:    3000*12*10

365

Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be:   3000*12*10

360

When Resigns; If service period exceeds 5 years, calculate as Terminate:

-If the option is checked, for any employee after 5 years calculate EOS as Termination when he/she resigns.

-If this option is checked, unpaid salaries and not created salary sheets are not included in the EOS calculation.

Date:

Start Calculating EOS provision after—- Months from Joining

-Users can set the number of months to start calculating EOS provision from the joining date.

– E.g., if 6 months is selected, the system will start calculating the EOS provision after 6 months of joining date.

Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days Basis Days:

–     EOS Service Period can be calculated on different day’s basis. It could be 365 or 360 days or any basis as per company policy.

–     If ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set, then the service period will be calculated as 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if Employee worked for 3 Years 4 Months and 2 Days.

–      If ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is 360 Days, then the service period will be calculated as 1221 / 360 = 3.391 if the Employee worked for 1221 days. (1221 is the number of calendar days worked from joining date to EOS date).

Note:

When the user selects Set Default, it should go to the default settings of EOS as per UAE (country). Set Default should read from the country EOS setup.

Note:

Creating EOS will not affect any transaction / activities unless EOS is approved.

E.g.: For a Timesheet Employee, if the user wants to create EOS date on 12 June, then he/she needs to do the following:

  • Users need to create Timesheet for June. Fill timesheet entry till 11 June normally and from 12 June till the end of the month fill as ‘Absent’.
  • Create Salary sheet of June
  • Create EOS

Now to cause an effect on activities, the user must approve EOS.

In the Additions & Deductions Tab, the user can add the additions and deductions to be added for the EOS Employee as below:

If the user wants to make any Adjustment in the total amount, he/she can do it from the Summary Tab as below:

Different Cases:

If the employee Salary is 3000; Calculate Unpaid Leave Salary Calculation Based on Leave Setup, (Leave Setup is to include All Salary Items and Transfer To Next Year is Yes), Employee works for 3 year,4 month and 2 days and EOS Setup is as below: the Default setup.

The Calculation summary is the following:

Note:

If Leave Salary Calculation basis is 0 Days, then it will read the setup from Payroll Settings. If setup is actual month days, then the leave days is divided by 365 Days, if setup is fixed 30 days, then leave days is divided by 360 Days.

The image displayed above represents a closeup view of the EOS Setup where users get to choose and apply the suitable actions and requirements.

Moreover, the cases displayed below represents several calculations regarding the End of Service.

However, the results might vary between one user and another depending on how the setup is made among users

Case 1:

If the setup is     

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days, EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100

360

100 X 70.115073 (Eligible Days) =7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

Note:

1. Total Days is calculated as total no of Calendar Days. i.e., 1219 days her

2. When ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set (By Default zero), then the years calculated as (as example shown above) 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if 3 years 4 Months and 2 Days.

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is set as 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 2:

If the setup is      

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 365 Days,

EOS basis = 360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then, the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Case 3:

If the setup is    

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 4:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 Days

EOS basis = 360 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then the Leave salary will be:

(3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 5:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis = 365 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10)/360=1000 [basis: 360]

Case 6:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 days,

EOS basis is = 365 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be:

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (300*12*10)/ 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Note:

– Users can have separate settings for EOS regardless of the Company setup. They can also have the same settings as per the company policy.

-In EOS, the system will calculate the actual leave days. i.e., If the Transfer to next year is No (In Leave setup) and EOS is created for the Employee in March, the Leave days will be 7 or 8 days.

– If the Leave Salary Calculation basis is Not checked, then it will be calculated Based on the Salary calculation setup:

i.e., If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10

1. Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360

2. Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 *10) / 365

6. Timesheet Policy

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Timesheet Setup

Time sheet is based on Actual month days. There is no fixed 30 days for time sheet. Time Sheet has three types: Detailed Timesheet, Summary Timesheet and Monthly Timesheet.

The following are steps to Setup Time sheet:

i. Time Sheet Setup

ii.Unit lis

iii.Shift and Holiday setup

i Timesheet and OT Setup v. Sample Calculation

Important Note:

After completing the setup of Time Sheet, it’s strongly recommended for the user to do the following:

Assign Employees to Time Sheet Assign Employees to Project Assign Employees to Shift Assign Employees to Supervisor (This is for Web application user) Do this from Timesheet main menu.

61. Timesheet Setup

There are three Types of Time Sheet, Detailed, Summary and Monthly.

  • Time Sheet Detailed

-In Time Sheet Detailed, Entries are made on Daily Basis (By Date)

-Presence hours are prefilled as fully Present (Based on Auto fill setup or manually fill)

-Each Day should be filled including the Absence Hours (if any).

-Shift setup can be in Hours or Days.

-Users can select the option; Use Time Reader Machine’ if they have any.

  • Time Sheet Summary

–     In Time Sheet Summary, Entries can be made on Monthly basis

If the option “Deduct Holidays” when the Labor is absent, the system will deduct the salary of holidays and off days based on the percentage of absence from the whole month

If shift is setup in hours, then monthly present Hours

If shift is setup in days, then number of days present

Basis of Calculation of Absence(Hours) and Basis of Calculation of Absence(Days):  If the user fills the Basis of Calculation of Absence; the system will calculate the absence hours separately based on the Basis that the user filled and Subtracted from the total Monthly salary. If the user keeps this blank, the system will calculate present hours only.

E.g.: (Month is January: 31 Days (248 Hours)). Monthly salary of the employee is 3000, Employee is absent for 5 days (40 hours)

If not filled: The system will calculate by taking the present Hours only (248-40=208) Salary=3000*208/248=2516.12

If filled as 240 hours basis: The system will calculate absent days first and deduct from the total monthly salary

Absence=3000*40/240=500

Salary=3000-500=2500

  • Time Sheet Monthly

In Time Sheet (Monthly basis), only the present days are available.

Overtime Hours per Day (Normal): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in normal days.

Overtime Hours per Day (Holidays): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in Holidays.

Maximum number of days Labor can work: Users can set the maximum number of holidays he/she can work.

Note:

1. Most users use detail Timesheet

2. This Timesheet can be used by both; Labors and Employee

3. Users cannot switch (change) between 3 tabs in the same month. However, the user can do this in the next month after creating and approving the salary sheet of the previous month and when there are no leaves effective on the next month.

Note:

When the status is selected as Leave, Holiday (which cannot be set as status from here), a message saying ‘It is automatically from activities, can’t be selected from Time Sheet’ will pop up.

In the above example, when the user changes ‘From Time/To Time’ of morning (1st)

shift, the hours will be added to Units and the salary will be for total no. of units (248 +3= 251 hours here). When the user changes the “To Time” of evening (2nd) shift, it will be added as overtime and paid as OT amount.

Notes:

1. The Status ‘Leave’ is from the HR activit For Timesheet Employees, Leaves can be created from HR activities.

2. The Status ‘Absence’ is set from her When Absence is selected, “calculate” will be set to ‘No’ by default.

3. Users can set Calculate = ’Yes’ for Absence, then, absence day will be paid as any other Working d I.e., that day will be calculated for monthly salary calculation.

4. Users cannot create absence from HR Activit

5. When absence creation dialog is opened from HR activities, it will list only the HR Employee

6. Users can select “absent” as a status from Timesheet.

7. While creating Leave (from activities), users cannot have the “Payment Type” to be ‘Pay Now’ for Timesheet Employees.

Each Time Sheet can be linked to Projects.

Time Sheet can be changed from Detailed to Summary and Summary to Detailed

  • If Changed from Detailed to Summary, all data will be converted to Summary for that month
  • If changed from Detailed to Summary, the data in that month will not change to Summary but from next months, it will be in Summary.

Deduct Absent days from the service period for Timesheet Employees:

If this option is checked, the absence days will not be included in the service period for Timesheet Employees.

Note:

When leave is created, it affects Timesheet. The status will be changed by default to “Leave” in the Timesheet as per the created leave date.

6-2. Unit List:

It shows the available units and notes:

Hours: Applicable to Timesheet Summary and Detailed

Days: Applicable to Timesheet Summary, Detailed and Monthly.

Create Shift Tab:

63. Shift & Holiday Setup

Setting up of Shifts To setup shifts, go to File → Settings → Time Sheet → Shift & Holiday Setup

–     Shifts can be created based on Business Activity

–     In Create Shifts, define Shift code (e.g. Morning / Evening, Day / Night etc.)

–      Select what is the type of Shift from a Dropdown Menu (e.g. Day / Hours). Users must specify the shift timings when Unit Type is Hours.

When Shift is of Unit Type ‘Hours’, users can split the time, i.e., Split the shift into two as below: Morning and Afternoon. In this case, timesheet will have 2 entries for each case.

When Shifts of Unit Type is ‘Days’, timing will not be shown in the timesheet. And default hours will be taken for calculation.

–      No. of Shifts means, if there is a break in the Working hours, the user can setup 2 shifts e.g.: 8-1 and 4-8 (Only applicable if Type is Hours)

–     Units mean: How many Hours in a shift (Only applicable if shift Type is Hours)

–     More Shifts can be created based on the Company setup.

–     The maximum number of shifts will always be one if the shift setup is by day

Note:

–            In case there is no setup of the shift, the system will read working hours from the box at the bottom of this tab.

1. With this facility, it helps the user to use this setup in all type of busin

2. The Timesheet will be filled automatically based on this shift setup. Therefore, at the time of filling Timesheet for labors, the number of hours will be displayed automatic

3. Users can assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for Different period.

4. Users cannot assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for the SAME period.

5. Users can have two Hourly shifts in one month.

Set Shift Tab:

–     Here, users can select the “Start Day” of the week.

–     Check the Day to make it “Day off”.

–     Allow to Change Holiday.

1. It is applicable only for Summary Time Sheet

2. If this option is Activated, Holiday Hours can be modified manually in Summary Time Sheet. For example, in a month, there are 4 Fridays so 32 hours are Holiday Hou We can change 32 to 24 or 40 whatever as off hours.

–     Include Holiday Units in the Total Month Units there is No Absence.

Checking and unchecking this box will not affect the salary sheet if

If Box is selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary ={Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

31 * 8

If Box is NOT selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary =

{Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

27 * 8

Note:

Salary will be the same if there is NO Absence. For Example,

Month is January, No. of hours per day is 8 hours, 4 holidays (Friday) Employee salary is AED 3000. He was absent for 1 day in the month. The calculation in both cases will be as follows:

– If ticked, total No. of Hours worked= 248– 8 = 240 Hours

{3000*240}    =  2903

31 * 8

–       If not ticked, Holiday hours will be excluded: No. of Hours worked= 216 – 8 = 208 Hours

{3000*208}      =   2889

27 * 8

Set Holidays Tab:

– This Tab is reads Holidays from Company Settings and more Holidays can be added in Set Holidays. I.e., Company Setup→ Holliday Settings→Public Holidays Tab

In this window, users can assign the holidays to shift, this means if the box is checked, the company will pay the holiday days to labors under this shift.

-Note that the number of shifts displayed in this window is based on the number of shifts setup reading from Tab 1.

– The company can define paid holidays to some or all shifts.

-The company can define which types of holidays can be paid or not. E.g. fixed holidays can be paid or not.

Summary Tab:

– Summary shows the Setup for Each Shift and the Calculations for the Shift Hours.

– Show the total working units per week and month.

6-4. Timesheet & OT Time:

Over Time (OT) is one of the main features which provides the ability to customize the user (Admin) requirements and needs as per the company and country policy.

Shift:

Select Shift code from Dropdown

Max OT:

Put here the Maximum Overtime allowed for that Shift per Day.

OT:

Check this option to enable Over Time Calculation. Uncheck this box will not allow the user to enter settings for Overtime calculation (It will be disabled) from here and In Timesheet there will be no calculation for OT.

Basis:

Here, users can put the Basis for Over Time calculation. Over time calculation will be divided by the Value entered. If No value is entered, the system will use Actual Month Hours as basis.

For Example, an Employee monthly salary is AED 3,000. OT rate is 1.25 hours and he worked for 20 hours as OT. Calculations will be the following:

Day:

Here, the user can define Multiple Days for OT rates. For example, Normal Days, Holidays and / or Other Days (Festivals / National Day etc.)

Rate:

Define over Time Rate as per Day types defined. For Example, normal day rate could be1.25, Holidays could be 1.5 and festival days could be 2 and so on as per company policy.

Normal Days:

Total working Hours in a Day is 8 hours and If an employee works for 10 hours, extra 2 hours will be paid as overtime as per the rate (1.25) specified.

Off Days (Fridays):

If an employee works on Friday which is a paid day and the company wants to consider this day as 2 days, meaning that the Company wants to pay 16 hours, we will convert the one day (8 Hours) into OT hours like this: 4 Hours OT with Rate2 so total is: 8 hours will be paid along with the normal paid Friday.

Holidays:

Same as off days.

Hours:

Here, define the maximum hours for a defined rate. For example, in Normal days, if the user puts 4 here, he/she can work maximum 4 hours at the rate 1.25.

Autofill:

Select Yes / No from Auto fill. This helps in automatically filling the over time. For example, standard shift time is 8 hours. In the Time Sheet, the time is filled for employee from 9am to 8pm. The system will automatically fill OT 3 hours if Auto fill is “Yes” is selected, otherwise fill Over time Manually.

Calculate OT:

Fill yes if calculation for OT is required. If calculate is “No”, then the employee will be able to enter OT in Timesheet, but the system will not calculate the overtime and it will not be paid in the salary sheet. This is as per Company Policy.

Salary item:

Select which Salary item user want to pay over time. Normally over time is paid on Basic Salary, but the user can add different salary items for OT calculation.

Allow to change Over Time Manually

By selecting this option, user can change the OT manually in the Time Sheet. If not selected, user cannot change OT manually. User must change the Shift time in Time Sheet.

For e.g.: If this option is checked, then employee can enter OT under different rates. If not checked, user must change the To Time, which will update the OT for corresponding rate.

-Automatically adjust time

By selecting this option, once the user changes OT in Time Sheet, the system will automatically update the Shift time. If not selected, the user must adjust time manually.

Note:

HR Employees are not applicable for Overtime Setup

6-5. Sample Calculation:

It gives Information in General: Calculations for normal hourly rate and normal daily rates, Overtime rate for normal and Holidays.

E.g.:

If the requirement of the company to calculate overtime is as below: Regular days:

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.25

After 21:00 (after 9 PM)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Fridays Days Off (If compensated with other days)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If not compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 2.50

Then he can do the OT Setup as below

The user can put OT in the rate 1.25 on regular days till 21:00 and after that in rate 1.50. OT on Holidays (Friday) if compensated with other days, he/she can put in rate 1.50. OT on official days if compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 1.5 and if not compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 2.50. Therefore, the user can do accordingly as per their requirement.

Time Sheet → Assign Employee to Shift, then select Dates from / to and then filter Employees and select the relevant shift.

  1. i Create Time Sheet

To create time Sheet, go to

Time Sheet → Create Time Sheet, then select the Dates and filter Employees and fill in Time Sheet and Over Times based on Setup.

After it is done, save Time Sheet and go to Payroll for Salary Sheet.

Note:

If there is more than 1 shift for a month, users must assign the different shifts before creating Timesheet.

E.g. Ramadan Timing for a company is 6 Hours (8 AM to 2 PM), if it started on June 29, and the user wants the timesheet entry to have 6 hours, then

-Create 1 new shift ‘RAMADAN’ from Create Shifts Tab

–     Assign employees to shift for Ramadan month (June 29th to July 27th)

–     i.e. Assign Employee to shift as below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

Now while creating the Timesheet for June, last 2 entries will be for 6 hours as below.

Note:

If the user forgets to assign different shift for Ramadan, and the timesheet is created for Normal shift, he/she must delete the Created Timesheet for month of Ramadan and Assign Employees to ‘RAMADAN’ shift and recreate the Timesheet again to cause effect.

Case 1:

Timesheet Employees, for e.g., timing is 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM; if the Employee is late for 2 hours and he/she comes at 10:00 AM, then the user can set the First 2 hours (08:00 AM to 10:00 AM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’No’ and next 6 hours (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’, and (01:00 PM to 05:00 PM)  as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’ Then the Total units for calculation will be 6 hours. (As shown in the image above).

Case 2:

If the OT Hours per Day (Normal) is set as 2 (In Company Setup) and Overtime Hours is set as 4 (In Timesheet and OT Setup), then the Employee will be allowed to work for 4 hours OT in Normal Day and it will be paid for 4 Hours as OT in the salary sheet. But as the user set OT Hours per Day (Normal)=2, which can be viewed from the report that OT is for 2 hours and rest 2 hours OT will be paid as Addition.

Case 3:

If the user sets Calculate = ‘No’ in the time Sheet setup, then even if the user put OT in Timesheet, it will not be calculated. The Overtime amount will not be shown\added in the salary sheet. This is per company policy.

Important:

  • If Pay through salary sheet is selected, the amount to be given to the Employee is added to the Salary sheet in columns and the amount to be deducted from the Employee is also shown in the Salary Sheet.
  • If Pay through the Payment Voucher is selected, nothing will affect the  alary sheet in any columns.
  • If Air Ticket is provided as Pay through Salary sheet, then it will be added in an Additional column of the Salary sheet for Both HR and Timesheet Employees.
  • For Timesheet Employees, Absence salary is not paid in a separate column for Pay through salary sheet. Here, the salary is paid for the present days. i.e., If an Employee is absent for 2 days, the salary is paid for 28 if it is a 30 days month. Therefore, the amount is showed for 28 days in the Salarysheet, not a separate column for absence deduction.
  • The user can pay for OT to Timesheet Employees only if “calculate OT” is yes.

The Amount will be shown in a separate column as Total OT.

  • For HR Employees, if 1-day absence, 1 day will be deducted from the total days of a Month based on the setup. I.e., if the setup is Actual month days and Employee’s absence deducted ting from January, then the salary will be for total days = 30 days (31– 1 = 30, 1-day(s) absence will be deducted). If the setup is Fixed 30 Days and Employee absence is deducting from January, then salary will be for 29 Days.
  • For Timesheet Employees, we calculate present days only. It is always based on Actual Month Days. So, when there is an Absence, the user can change the Status to ‘Absent’ for the absent day and that day will not be calculated.
  • Remember that Company Employees can be defined (split in 2 parts) as employees or Times employee setesyee. An HR Employee will get his/her salary automatically, but a Timesheet employee will not get the salary unless the Timesheet is filled.

Hinawi Software has 2 ways of calculation basis: –

➔ Fixed 30 Days

In this basis, the system considers all months as fixed 30 days regardless if the month is January, February or April.

➔ Actual Month Days

In this basis the  system calculates the number of days in the month. Therefore, January is:31 days, February is: 28/29 days, and April is: 30 days.

Note:

Net to pay the amount in Salary sheet is rounding and no decimal points.

e.g. 29.22 will be ,2903 and 2892.86 ,will be 2893 as shown in the above table.,

i.e. 0.5 and more will be consonedered, as 1 and less than .5 will be ignored.

The user can do the settings from Additional Settings.

Both affect the calculations of monthly salary for the following activities cases:  Absence and Leave.

Case 1:

STANDARD Case. Employee Monthly Salary is 3000 AED, All Salary Item included for Leave calculation, no pension for Non- Locals, Leave Salary Calculation basis on 0 (zero) days, Absence setup is Deduct from Salary, No first month.

Case 2:

The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month while creating an absence. E.g., if an employee making from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. this means that while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.

Month Days. When salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days, this option is disabled.

2. If EOS is created for an employee (resign or terminated), the remaining of leave salary and unpaid salaries will show in EOS for

Calculate Actual Leave Days if salary calculation is Fixed 30 Days:

e.g.: If this option is checked, and an Employee takes a leave for 5 days on Feb 27, then the leave days will be 5 (27,28 & 1,2,3). If this option is not checked, the leave days calculated will be 7 (27, 28, 29, 30 & 1, 2, 3).

Note:

  • The absence salary will be deducted from the Effective month given while reading an absence. E.g., an employee was absent from 29th Jan to 2nd Feb. Therefore, while creating the absence, if the effective month is selected as Feb, then the absence day salary will be deducted from Feb Monthly Salary.
  • Calculation of Leave Days (for all types of leaves) is always based on the ACTUAL MONTH DAYS.

Special Cases When:

1. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Leave Days if the setup is “Deduct from Leaves”. And absent day salary will be deducted if the setup is “Deduct from Salary”.

2. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee was absent on 28th Feb, then absent salary will be deducted from the effective month if the setup is “deduct from salary”.

3. An absence is created for an employee, and the setup type is deducted from:

leaves → annual leaves, then it will deduct the leave days from the annual Leave Balance.

4. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on Jan 31st, leave will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. But will not be paid for that 1 day since it is fixed 30 days.

5. Setup is based on fixed 30 days. If an Employee goes for leave on 28th, leaves will be deducted from Annual Leave Days. Salary is calculated for 27 working days to  + 1 day leave salary. For the next 2 days (29 and 30) salary needs to be added as separate in addition and deduction manually by the user. And next month salary (March) will be fotwo 30 Days and 2 days salary in the Addition column.

Important:

Changing between Basis of calculation:

When the user wants to change the Basis of calculation or anything else in SETUP, the activities like Leaves, absence, salary sheet and EOS must be approved before proceeding (if there will not be any further changes on activities in the future.)

Note:

  • We advise the user to approve all the activities (If there is no change later)

before changing the setup.

  • We also advise users to create salary sheet before proceeding with changes in the setup. Also, to start doing changes in setup after approving the salary sheet.
  • Activities approved before changing the policy (Setup) will remain the same and will not change after filling a new policy. I.e., There will be no effect on the calculation if there are changes between 2 methods when activities and salaries are approved.
  • New calculation will affect the new activities reading from new changes in setup.
  • If the user wants to affect the new changes in activities created already, then recreate the activities after changing the company policy.

Exceptional:

  • Calculate First Month Salary as Actual Days Worked:

If thefor  setup is fixed 30 days and the employee joining date is not 30 days month, calculate the working days based on the actual month.

Note:

By Default, this option will be checked. We strongly reclaimed keeping this checked. e.g. Employee joined on 27/01 so total working days will be: 5 days and will be calculated as 5/30 X Total Salary.

Employee joined on 27/02 so total working days will be: 2 days and will be calculated as 2/30 X Total Salary.

  • Include Employees in the salary sheet who joined on or before   of the Month this allows the user to include an employee who joined the company before the given datheirhe month and his/her salary is generated in the salary sheet.

e.g.: If an employee joins on 20th of a month and we set the above     to 22, then he will be included in the salary sheet of this month.

  • Show the Standard Salary Information in Salary Sheet Columns: If checked, the standard monthly salary will be seen in salary sheet as information only.
  • Allow to Edit Employee salary Information even if the salary sheet is approved: This option Allows user to change the Employee Salary Information even if the Salary Sheet is approved. This option is added for employees whose salaries have increased after approving the salary sheet. Therefore, the system allows these changes for history status purposes regarding salary. This does not affect the Approved Salary Sheet. It will only affect the future salary sheets.

Note:

Differences the in the salary for previous period will be adjusted in the next salary sheets.

Wages Protection System (UAE Use Only):

Employer Unique Id: The user can provide the ID of the Employer here.

Bank Code of Employer: This is the bank code of the Employer and the user can add more banks here.

Pension Settings Tab:

  • Include Pension for Non-Locals

The user checks this option in case he/she wants to set pension for Non-Locals. Pension for Locals can be set from Default setup/Advanced Setup.

The user can check the option ‘Show the pension for Non-Locals in Separate column in Salary sheet’ if he/she wants  the pension to be in separate column of the salary sheet.

The user can change the column name in Salary Sheet by giving a name in ‘Change the Column name in Salary Sheet as’

Deduct Company pension from Employees for Absence Days Locals %       Non-Locals % The user can set the pension to be deducted from Employees for Absence Days.

1-4. Leave Policy

Leave Policy is one of the most important screens in the system. Kindly read carefully. You can contact us (End of Manual) for any further clarifications.

Company Settings → Company Setup → Leave Policy

Leave Settings

  • Allow Negative Leave Days:

Allows creating Leaves More than the available Balance

Note:

if Negative Leave Days is filled in with the following value: 5, an Employee has Leave Balance of 15 days; then the system will allow creating a leave for 20 days as Negative days are filled. And this is Applicable for All types of leaves.

When “Allow Negative Leave Days” is checked and the value is zero, it will allow creating leaves only as per the Leave balance. i.e., it simply means as if this option is not checked when the value is zero.

If the leave balance is zero or minus, the user should add Admin password to allow the negative days.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Leave salary calculation basis on:

As default (zero here) it is reading from Payroll settings: Fixed 30 days or Actual month days.

If the user selects any value, the system will ignore reading from the Payroll Settings and reads from here as mentioned below:

If the user selects 360, the system will calculate Leave Salary through the following method:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/360} x Leave Days

If 365, then as follows:

{(Monthly Salary x 12)/365} x Leave Days

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

Note:

– The user can change the basis of calculation only if the setup is Actual Month Days.

– If the setup is Fixed 30 days, this option will be disabled.

  • Add Leave salary amount in the “Addition” Column of the Salary Sheet:

This is applicable only for Time Sheet Employees and the payment type of leave is Pay Through Salary Sheet; when the user applies it, the system will calculate the leave salaries and add to the additions and deduction form in the Timesheet software and it will be added to the salaries in the “Addition” column. If this option is not selected, no payment of leave will take place in the Salary sheet. This is per company policy.

  • Pay Leave Salary separate for Time Sheet Employees:

If this option is checked, Leave Salary is paid separately as Cheque or Cash, and Leave salary will not be added in the salary sheet for Time Sheet Employees.

Note:

If an employee is on leave for 10 days, that 10 days salary will be added in the Additions and Deductions form in the salary sheet if the option ‘Add Leave salary amount in Addition Column of Salary Sheet’ is checked.

If this option is not checked, there will be no payment of leave in the salary sheet. This is per company’s policy.

  • Use Encash Leave

Allows to Encash the Leave Days Balance for Annual Leave. For example, an Employee has Annual Leave balance of 20 days and he/she doesn’t want to go home. He/she can take Cash for that leave balance. If the Employee takes encashment for 10 Days Leave, then the next time he/she creates a “Leave”, his/her Leave Balance will show as 10 only. There are settings for selection of allowances for Encashment in the advanced setup.

The user can select Encash Leave Items from the list in the advanced setup.

When ‘Encash Leave’ is checked in the leave’s creation activity dialog, the number of leave days will be encashed as per the setup. Leave Days will be deducted from the Leave balance.

Note:

Negative Leave Days will not be Encashed.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • Don’t create any type of leave until the employee returns from leave

If this box is checked, the employee on leave cannot extend or take any leaves until he/she returns from leave.

To create any leave, user must return from the previous leave. This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

  • If an Employee Returned Earlier than expected from Annual Leave, the Default option for the Adjustment type:

Create Loan:

e.g.: An employee goes on 20 days paid leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, days leave back.

He/she must refund the leave salary for 10 days and get the 10

Deduct the leave days only:

e.g.: Employee goes on 20 days leave and he/she comes back after 10 days, so if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money, but his 10 days leaves will be deducted.

Keep the Balance Leave Days:

E.g. Employee goes for 20 days leave and he comes back by 10 (If the company calls him back due to urgent work), if this option is selected He doesn’t have to refund the money and Company will not deduct the leave balance from his leaves.

This applies to both Timesheet and HR Employees.

NOTE:

In all the above cases Employee will get salary.

  • At the time of “Leave return”, Calculate the leave Balance from the Leave Start

Date (if the Leave is Extended):

e.g.: An Employee goes on leave for 15 days and he extends leave for 5 days, the system will calculate the Leave Balance from the Leave start date, i.e., 20 days if this option is checked.

If not checked, his leave balance will be calculated from the extended leave. [Clarification]

  • Calculate leave Provision

✓   Calculate the provision for working (Present) Days

✓   Calculate leave provision in all paid days (paid salaries + paid any type of leave)

✓   Calculate provision whole year regardless of availability or not (sick , annual leave , absence , paid or unpaid leave)

  • Don’t calculate leave provision

1-5. Holiday Setup

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Holidays Setup

Weekly off days tab: Here, the user can select what days represent the weekly day offs. Public Holidays tab: Here, the user can select the public holidays: it can be fixed or variable.

e.g.: Fixed: January 1 is New Year which is a public holiday. Variable: Eid can be set as variable holiday.

Note:

Holidays setup affects calculations in many activities such as: salaries, leave, Time sheet, shift etc. This depends on the setup of each activity.

–      If ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is 360 Days, then the service period will be calculated as 1221 / 360 = 3.391 if the Employee worked for 1221 days. (1221 is the number of calendar days worked from joining date to EOS date).

Note:

When the user selects Set Default, it should go to the default settings of EOS as per UAE (country). Set Default should read from the country EOS setup.

Note:

Creating EOS will not affect any transaction / activities unless EOS is approved.

E.g.: For a Timesheet Employee, if the user wants to create EOS date on 12 June, then he/she needs to do the following:

  • Users need to create Timesheet for June. Fill timesheet entry till 11 June normally and from 12 June till the end of the month fill as ‘Absent’.
  • Create Salary sheet of June
  • Create EOS

Now to cause an effect on activities, the user must approve EOS.

In the Additions & Deductions Tab, the user can add the additions and deductions to be added for the EOS Employee as below:

If the user wants to make any Adjustment in the total amount, he/she can do it from the Summary Tab as below:

Different Cases:

If the employee Salary is 3000; Calculate Unpaid Leave Salary Calculation Based on Leave Setup, (Leave Setup is to include All Salary Items and Transfer To Next Year is Yes), Employee works for 3 year,4 month and 2 days and EOS Setup is as below: the Default setup.

The Calculation summary is the following:

Note:

If Leave Salary Calculation basis is 0 Days, then it will read the setup from Payroll Settings. If setup is actual month days, then the leave days is divided by 365 Days, if setup is fixed 30 days, then leave days is divided by 360 Days.

The image displayed above represents a closeup view of the EOS Setup where users get to choose and apply the suitable actions and requirements.

Moreover, the cases displayed below represents several calculations regarding the End of Service.

However, the results might vary between one user and another depending on how the setup is made among users

Case 1:

If the setup is     

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days, EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100

360

100 X 70.115073 (Eligible Days) =7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

Note:

1. Total Days is calculated as total no of Calendar Days. i.e., 1219 days her

2. When ‘Calculate EOS Service Period based on Days’ is not set (By Default zero), then the years calculated as (as example shown above) 3 + (4 / 12) + (2 / 365) = 3.338813 if 3 years 4 Months and 2 Days.

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is set as 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 2:

If the setup is      

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 365 Days,

EOS basis = 360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then, the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 7011.51

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.115073 (Eligible Days) = 6915.459

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Case 3:

If the setup is    

And Leave Salary Calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis =360 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 4:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 Days

EOS basis = 360 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7110.8331

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 71.108331 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then the Leave salary will be:

(3000*12*10) / 360 = 1000 [basis: 360].

Case 5:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 360 Days,

EOS basis = 365 in EOS setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then calculation will be as follows:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then the Total amount for EOS will be

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (3000*12*10)/360=1000 [basis: 360]

Case 6:

If the setup is      

And leave salary calculation basis is 365 days,

EOS basis is = 365 in EOS Setup:

Here, 1-day salary = 3000*12 =100, then the total amount for EOS will be

360

100 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 7013.4246

If EOS basis = 365, then the calculation will be the following:

1-day salary = 3000 *12 =98.63, then Total amount for EOS will be:

365

98.63 * 70.134246 (Eligible Days) = 6917.34

And If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10, then Leave salary will be: (300*12*10)/ 365 = 986 [basis: 365]

Note:

– Users can have separate settings for EOS regardless of the Company setup. They can also have the same settings as per the company policy.

-In EOS, the system will calculate the actual leave days. i.e., If the Transfer to next year is No (In Leave setup) and EOS is created for the Employee in March, the Leave days will be 7 or 8 days.

– If the Leave Salary Calculation basis is Not checked, then it will be calculated Based on the Salary calculation setup:

i.e., If the Maximum Leave Allowed for Calculating EOS is 10

1. Fixed 30 Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 * 10) / 360

2. Actual Month Days: Leave Salary Calculation will be: (3000 * 12 *10) / 365

6. Timesheet Policy

Company Settings–> Company set up–>Timesheet Setup

Time sheet is based on Actual month days. There is no fixed 30 days for time sheet. Time Sheet has three types: Detailed Timesheet, Summary Timesheet and Monthly Timesheet.

The following are steps to Setup Time sheet:

i. Time Sheet Setup

ii.Unit lis

iii.Shift and Holiday setup

i Timesheet and OT Setup v. Sample Calculation

Important Note:

After completing the setup of Time Sheet, it’s strongly recommended for the user to do the following:

Assign Employees to Time Sheet Assign Employees to Project Assign Employees to Shift Assign Employees to Supervisor (This is for Web application user) Do this from Timesheet main menu.

61. Timesheet Setup

There are three Types of Time Sheet, Detailed, Summary and Monthly.

  • Time Sheet Detailed

-In Time Sheet Detailed, Entries are made on Daily Basis (By Date)

-Presence hours are prefilled as fully Present (Based on Auto fill setup or manually fill)

-Each Day should be filled including the Absence Hours (if any).

-Shift setup can be in Hours or Days.

-Users can select the option; Use Time Reader Machine’ if they have any.

  • Time Sheet Summary

–     In Time Sheet Summary, Entries can be made on Monthly basis

If the option “Deduct Holidays” when the Labor is absent, the system will deduct the salary of holidays and off days based on the percentage of absence from the whole month

If shift is setup in hours, then monthly present Hours

If shift is setup in days, then number of days present

Basis of Calculation of Absence(Hours) and Basis of Calculation of Absence(Days):  If the user fills the Basis of Calculation of Absence; the system will calculate the absence hours separately based on the Basis that the user filled and Subtracted from the total Monthly salary. If the user keeps this blank, the system will calculate present hours only.

E.g.: (Month is January: 31 Days (248 Hours)). Monthly salary of the employee is 3000, Employee is absent for 5 days (40 hours)

If not filled: The system will calculate by taking the present Hours only (248-40=208) Salary=3000*208/248=2516.12

If filled as 240 hours basis: The system will calculate absent days first and deduct from the total monthly salary

Absence=3000*40/240=500

Salary=3000-500=2500

  • Time Sheet Monthly

In Time Sheet (Monthly basis), only the present days are available.

Overtime Hours per Day (Normal): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in normal days.

Overtime Hours per Day (Holidays): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in Holidays.

Maximum number of days Labor can work: Users can set the maximum number of holidays he/she can work.

Note:

1. Most users use detail Timesheet

2. This Timesheet can be used by both; Labors and Employee

3. Users cannot switch (change) between 3 tabs in the same month. However, the user can do this in the next month after creating and approving the salary sheet of the previous month and when there are no leaves effective on the next month.

Note:

When the status is selected as Leave, Holiday (which cannot be set as status from here), a message saying ‘It is automatically from activities, can’t be selected from Time Sheet’ will pop up.

In the above example, when the user changes ‘From Time/To Time’ of morning (1st)

shift, the hours will be added to Units and the salary will be for total no. of units (248 +3= 251 hours here). When the user changes the “To Time” of evening (2nd) shift, it will be added as overtime and paid as OT amount.

Notes:

1. The Status ‘Leave’ is from the HR activit For Timesheet Employees, Leaves can be created from HR activities.

2. The Status ‘Absence’ is set from her When Absence is selected, “calculate” will be set to ‘No’ by default.

3. Users can set Calculate = ’Yes’ for Absence, then, absence day will be paid as any other Working d I.e., that day will be calculated for monthly salary calculation.

4. Users cannot create absence from HR Activit

5. When absence creation dialog is opened from HR activities, it will list only the HR Employee

6. Users can select “absent” as a status from Timesheet.

7. While creating Leave (from activities), users cannot have the “Payment Type” to be ‘Pay Now’ for Timesheet Employees.

Each Time Sheet can be linked to Projects.

Time Sheet can be changed from Detailed to Summary and Summary to Detailed

  • If Changed from Detailed to Summary, all data will be converted to Summary for that month
  • If changed from Detailed to Summary, the data in that month will not change to Summary but from next months, it will be in Summary.

Deduct Absent days from the service period for Timesheet Employees:

If this option is checked, the absence days will not be included in the service period for Timesheet Employees.

Note:

When leave is created, it affects Timesheet. The status will be changed by default to “Leave” in the Timesheet as per the created leave date.

6-2. Unit List:

It shows the available units and notes:

Hours: Applicable to Timesheet Summary and Detailed

Days: Applicable to Timesheet Summary, Detailed and Monthly.

Create Shift Tab:

63. Shift & Holiday Setup

Setting up of Shifts To setup shifts, go to File → Settings → Time Sheet → Shift & Holiday Setup

–     Shifts can be created based on Business Activity

–     In Create Shifts, define Shift code (e.g. Morning / Evening, Day / Night etc.)

–      Select what is the type of Shift from a Dropdown Menu (e.g. Day / Hours). Users must specify the shift timings when Unit Type is Hours.

When Shift is of Unit Type ‘Hours’, users can split the time, i.e., Split the shift into two as below: Morning and Afternoon. In this case, timesheet will have 2 entries for each case.

When Shifts of Unit Type is ‘Days’, timing will not be shown in the timesheet. And default hours will be taken for calculation.

–      No. of Shifts means, if there is a break in the Working hours, the user can setup 2 shifts e.g.: 8-1 and 4-8 (Only applicable if Type is Hours)

–     Units mean: How many Hours in a shift (Only applicable if shift Type is Hours)

–     More Shifts can be created based on the Company setup.

–     The maximum number of shifts will always be one if the shift setup is by day

Note:

–            In case there is no setup of the shift, the system will read working hours from the box at the bottom of this tab.

1. With this facility, it helps the user to use this setup in all type of busin

2. The Timesheet will be filled automatically based on this shift setup. Therefore, at the time of filling Timesheet for labors, the number of hours will be displayed automatic

3. Users can assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for Different period.

4. Users cannot assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for the SAME period.

5. Users can have two Hourly shifts in one month.

Set Shift Tab:

–     Here, users can select the “Start Day” of the week.

–     Check the Day to make it “Day off”.

–     Allow to Change Holiday.

1. It is applicable only for Summary Time Sheet

2. If this option is Activated, Holiday Hours can be modified manually in Summary Time Sheet. For example, in a month, there are 4 Fridays so 32 hours are Holiday Hou We can change 32 to 24 or 40 whatever as off hours.

–     Include Holiday Units in the Total Month Units there is No Absence.

Checking and unchecking this box will not affect the salary sheet if

If Box is selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary ={Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

31 * 8

If Box is NOT selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary =

{Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

27 * 8

Note:

Salary will be the same if there is NO Absence. For Example,

Month is January, No. of hours per day is 8 hours, 4 holidays (Friday) Employee salary is AED 3000. He was absent for 1 day in the month. The calculation in both cases will be as follows:

– If ticked, total No. of Hours worked= 248– 8 = 240 Hours

{3000*240}    =  2903

31 * 8

–       If not ticked, Holiday hours will be excluded: No. of Hours worked= 216 – 8 = 208 Hours

{3000*208}      =   2889

27 * 8

Set Holidays Tab:

– This Tab is reads Holidays from Company Settings and more Holidays can be added in Set Holidays. I.e., Company Setup→ Holliday Settings→Public Holidays Tab

In this window, users can assign the holidays to shift, this means if the box is checked, the company will pay the holiday days to labors under this shift.

-Note that the number of shifts displayed in this window is based on the number of shifts setup reading from Tab 1.

– The company can define paid holidays to some or all shifts.

-The company can define which types of holidays can be paid or not. E.g. fixed holidays can be paid or not.

Summary Tab:

– Summary shows the Setup for Each Shift and the Calculations for the Shift Hours.

– Show the total working units per week and month.

6-4. Timesheet & OT Time:

Over Time (OT) is one of the main features which provides the ability to customize the user (Admin) requirements and needs as per the company and country policy.

Shift:

Select Shift code from Dropdown

Max OT:

Put here the Maximum Overtime allowed for that Shift per Day.

OT:

Check this option to enable Over Time Calculation. Uncheck this box will not allow the user to enter settings for Overtime calculation (It will be disabled) from here and In Timesheet there will be no calculation for OT.

Basis:

Here, users can put the Basis for Over Time calculation. Over time calculation will be divided by the Value entered. If No value is entered, the system will use Actual Month Hours as basis.

For Example, an Employee monthly salary is AED 3,000. OT rate is 1.25 hours and he worked for 20 hours as OT. Calculations will be the following:

Day:

Here, the user can define Multiple Days for OT rates. For example, Normal Days, Holidays and / or Other Days (Festivals / National Day etc.)

Rate:

Define over Time Rate as per Day types defined. For Example, normal day rate could be1.25, Holidays could be 1.5 and festival days could be 2 and so on as per company policy.

Normal Days:

Total working Hours in a Day is 8 hours and If an employee works for 10 hours, extra 2 hours will be paid as overtime as per the rate (1.25) specified.

Off Days (Fridays):

If an employee works on Friday which is a paid day and the company wants to consider this day as 2 days, meaning that the Company wants to pay 16 hours, we will convert the one day (8 Hours) into OT hours like this: 4 Hours OT with Rate2 so total is: 8 hours will be paid along with the normal paid Friday.

Holidays:

Same as off days.

Hours:

Here, define the maximum hours for a defined rate. For example, in Normal days, if the user puts 4 here, he/she can work maximum 4 hours at the rate 1.25.

Autofill:

Select Yes / No from Auto fill. This helps in automatically filling the over time. For example, standard shift time is 8 hours. In the Time Sheet, the time is filled for employee from 9am to 8pm. The system will automatically fill OT 3 hours if Auto fill is “Yes” is selected, otherwise fill Over time Manually.

Calculate OT:

Fill yes if calculation for OT is required. If calculate is “No”, then the employee will be able to enter OT in Timesheet, but the system will not calculate the overtime and it will not be paid in the salary sheet. This is as per Company Policy.

Salary item:

Select which Salary item user want to pay over time. Normally over time is paid on Basic Salary, but the user can add different salary items for OT calculation.

Allow to change Over Time Manually

By selecting this option, user can change the OT manually in the Time Sheet. If not selected, user cannot change OT manually. User must change the Shift time in Time Sheet.

For e.g.: If this option is checked, then employee can enter OT under different rates. If not checked, user must change the To Time, which will update the OT for corresponding rate.

-Automatically adjust time

By selecting this option, once the user changes OT in Time Sheet, the system will automatically update the Shift time. If not selected, the user must adjust time manually.

Note:

HR Employees are not applicable for Overtime Setup

6-5. Sample Calculation:

It gives Information in General: Calculations for normal hourly rate and normal daily rates, Overtime rate for normal and Holidays.

E.g.:

If the requirement of the company to calculate overtime is as below: Regular days:

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.25

After 21:00 (after 9 PM)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Fridays Days Off (If compensated with other days)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If not compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 2.50

Then he can do the OT Setup as below

The user can put OT in the rate 1.25 on regular days till 21:00 and after that in rate 1.50. OT on Holidays (Friday) if compensated with other days, he/she can put in rate 1.50. OT on official days if compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 1.5 and if not compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 2.50. Therefore, the user can do accordingly as per their requirement.

Time Sheet main menu:

  1. i. Assign Employees to Time Sheet

To assign Employees to Time Sheet, go to:

Time Sheet Menu → Assign Employees to Time Sheet, then click view. Here, the system will show either to Generate Salary sheet from HR or Time Sheet. Select the Employees under Time Sheet for salary through Time sheet.

Users can change the Employee from HR to Time Sheet or vice versa, prior to Salary sheet created. It is changing since last salary sheet created.

  1. ii. Assign Employees to Project

To assign Employees to Projects, go to

Time Sheet Menu → Assign Employees to Project, then click on search and filter

Employees to assign to Projects. To add projects, go to manage employee’s main menu → Location/project list.

iii.Assign Employee to Shift

To Assign Employee to Shift, go to

Time Sheet → Assign Employee to Shift, then select Dates from / to and then filter Employees and select the relevant shift.

  1. i Create Time Sheet

To create time Sheet, go to

Time Sheet → Create Time Sheet, then select the Dates and filter Employees and fill in Time Sheet and Over Times based on Setup.

After it is done, save Time Sheet and go to Payroll for Salary Sheet.

Note:

If there is more than 1 shift for a month, users must assign the different shifts before creating Timesheet.

E.g. Ramadan Timing for a company is 6 Hours (8 AM to 2 PM), if it started on June 29, and the user wants the timesheet entry to have 6 hours, then

-Create 1 new shift ‘RAMADAN’ from Create Shifts Tab

–     Assign employees to shift for Ramadan month (June 29th to July 27th)

–     i.e. Assign Employee to shift as below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

Now while creating the Timesheet for June, last 2 entries will be for 6 hours as below.

Note:

If the user forgets to assign different shift for Ramadan, and the timesheet is created for Normal shift, he/she must delete the Created Timesheet for month of Ramadan and Assign Employees to ‘RAMADAN’ shift and recreate the Timesheet again to cause effect.

Case 1:

Timesheet Employees, for e.g., timing is 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM; if the Employee is late for 2 hours and he/she comes at 10:00 AM, then the user can set the First 2 hours (08:00 AM to 10:00 AM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’No’ and next 6 hours (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’, and (01:00 PM to 05:00 PM)  as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’ Then the Total units for calculation will be 6 hours. (As shown in the image above).

Case 2:

If the OT Hours per Day (Normal) is set as 2 (In Company Setup) and Overtime Hours is set as 4 (In Timesheet and OT Setup), then the Employee will be allowed to work for 4 hours OT in Normal Day and it will be paid for 4 Hours as OT in the salary sheet. But as the user set OT Hours per Day (Normal)=2, which can be viewed from the report that OT is for 2 hours and rest 2 hours OT will be paid as Addition.

Case 3:

If the user sets Calculate = ‘No’ in the time Sheet setup, then even if the user put OT in Timesheet, it will not be calculated. The Overtime amount will not be shown\added in the salary sheet. This is per company policy.

7. General Settings

Go to: File→ Settings→General Settings.

7-1. General List:

It will list all the items and values available in the drop down for each item. E.g.: Grade: Grade01, Grade02, Grade03 etc.

The following are steps to Setup Time sheet:

i. Time Sheet Setup

ii.Unit list

iii.Shift and Holiday setup

i Timesheet and OT Setup v. Sample Calculation

Important Note:

After completing the setup of Time Sheet, it’s strongly recommended for the user to do the following:

Assign Employees to Time Sheet Assign Employees to Project Assign Employees to Shift Assign Employees to Supervisor (This is for Web application user) Do this from Timesheet main menu.

61. Timesheet Setup

There are three Types of Time Sheet, Detailed, Summary and Monthly.

  • Time Sheet Detailed

-In Time Sheet Detailed, Entries are made on Daily Basis (By Date)

-Presence hours are prefilled as fully Present (Based on Auto fill setup or manually fill)

-Each Day should be filled including the Absence Hours (if any).

-Shift setup can be in Hours or Days.

-Users can select the option; Use Time Reader Machine’ if they have any.

  • Time Sheet Summary

–     In Time Sheet Summary, Entries can be made on Monthly basis

If the option “Deduct Holidays” when the Labor is absent, the system will deduct the salary of holidays and off days based on the percentage of absence from the whole month

If shift is setup in hours, then monthly present Hours

If shift is setup in days, then number of days present

Basis of Calculation of Absence(Hours) and Basis of Calculation of Absence(Days):  If the user fills the Basis of Calculation of Absence; the system will calculate the absence hours separately based on the Basis that the user filled and Subtracted from the total Monthly salary. If the user keeps this blank, the system will calculate present hours only.

E.g.: (Month is January: 31 Days (248 Hours)). Monthly salary of the employee is 3000, Employee is absent for 5 days (40 hours)

If not filled: The system will calculate by taking the present Hours only (248-40=208) Salary=3000*208/248=2516.12

If filled as 240 hours basis: The system will calculate absent days first and deduct from the total monthly salary

Absence=3000*40/240=500

Salary=3000-500=2500

  • Time Sheet Monthly

In Time Sheet (Monthly basis), only the present days are available.

Overtime Hours per Day (Normal): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in normal days.

Overtime Hours per Day (Holidays): The maximum hours an employee can work overtime in Holidays.

Maximum number of days Labor can work: Users can set the maximum number of holidays he/she can work.

Note:

1. Most users use detail Timesheet

2. This Timesheet can be used by both; Labors and Employee

3. Users cannot switch (change) between 3 tabs in the same month. However, the user can do this in the next month after creating and approving the salary sheet of the previous month and when there are no leaves effective on the next month.

Note:

When the status is selected as Leave, Holiday (which cannot be set as status from here), a message saying ‘It is automatically from activities, can’t be selected from Time Sheet’ will pop up.

In the above example, when the user changes ‘From Time/To Time’ of morning (1st)

shift, the hours will be added to Units and the salary will be for total no. of units (248 +3= 251 hours here). When the user changes the “To Time” of evening (2nd) shift, it will be added as overtime and paid as OT amount.

Notes:

1. The Status ‘Leave’ is from the HR activit For Timesheet Employees, Leaves can be created from HR activities.

2. The Status ‘Absence’ is set from her When Absence is selected, “calculate” will be set to ‘No’ by default.

3. Users can set Calculate = ’Yes’ for Absence, then, absence day will be paid as any other Working d I.e., that day will be calculated for monthly salary calculation.

4. Users cannot create absence from HR Activit

5. When absence creation dialog is opened from HR activities, it will list only the HR Employee

6. Users can select “absent” as a status from Timesheet.

7. While creating Leave (from activities), users cannot have the “Payment Type” to be ‘Pay Now’ for Timesheet Employees.

Each Time Sheet can be linked to Projects.

Time Sheet can be changed from Detailed to Summary and Summary to Detailed

  • If Changed from Detailed to Summary, all data will be converted to Summary for that month
  • If changed from Detailed to Summary, the data in that month will not change to Summary but from next months, it will be in Summary.

Deduct Absent days from the service period for Timesheet Employees:

If this option is checked, the absence days will not be included in the service period for Timesheet Employees.

Note:

When leave is created, it affects Timesheet. The status will be changed by default to “Leave” in the Timesheet as per the created leave date.

Create Shift Tab:

63. Shift & Holiday Setup

Setting up of Shifts To setup shifts, go to File → Settings → Time Sheet → Shift & Holiday Setup

–     Shifts can be created based on Business Activity

–     In Create Shifts, define Shift code (e.g. Morning / Evening, Day / Night etc.)

–      Select what is the type of Shift from a Dropdown Menu (e.g. Day / Hours). Users must specify the shift timings when Unit Type is Hours.

When Shift is of Unit Type ‘Hours’, users can split the time, i.e., Split the shift into two as below: Morning and Afternoon. In this case, timesheet will have 2 entries for each case.

When Shifts of Unit Type is ‘Days’, timing will not be shown in the timesheet. And default hours will be taken for calculation.

–      No. of Shifts means, if there is a break in the Working hours, the user can setup 2 shifts e.g.: 8-1 and 4-8 (Only applicable if Type is Hours)

–     Units mean: How many Hours in a shift (Only applicable if shift Type is Hours)

–     More Shifts can be created based on the Company setup.

–     The maximum number of shifts will always be one if the shift setup is by day

Note:

–            In case there is no setup of the shift, the system will read working hours from the box at the bottom of this tab.

1. With this facility, it helps the user to use this setup in all type of busin

2. The Timesheet will be filled automatically based on this shift setup. Therefore, at the time of filling Timesheet for labors, the number of hours will be displayed automatic

3. Users can assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for Different period.

4. Users cannot assign the Employees to more than one shift (HOURS shift and DAYS shift) for the SAME period.

5. Users can have two Hourly shifts in one month.

Set Shift Tab:

–     Here, users can select the “Start Day” of the week.

–     Check the Day to make it “Day off”.

–     Allow to Change Holiday.

1. It is applicable only for Summary Time Sheet

2. If this option is Activated, Holiday Hours can be modified manually in Summary Time Sheet. For example, in a month, there are 4 Fridays so 32 hours are Holiday Hou We can change 32 to 24 or 40 whatever as off hours.

–     Include Holiday Units in the Total Month Units there is No Absence.

Checking and unchecking this box will not affect the salary sheet if

If Box is selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary ={Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

31 * 8

If Box is NOT selected, salary calculation will be as below:

Monthly Salary =

{Current Monthly Salary X No. of Hours worked}

27 * 8

Note:

Salary will be the same if there is NO Absence. For Example,

Month is January, No. of hours per day is 8 hours, 4 holidays (Friday) Employee salary is AED 3000. He was absent for 1 day in the month. The calculation in both cases will be as follows:

– If ticked, total No. of Hours worked= 248– 8 = 240 Hours

{3000*240}    =  2903

31 * 8

–       If not ticked, Holiday hours will be excluded: No. of Hours worked= 216 – 8 = 208 Hours

{3000*208}      =   2889

27 * 8

Set Holidays Tab:

6-4. Timesheet & OT Time:

Over Time (OT) is one of the main features which provides the ability to customize the user (Admin) requirements and needs as per the company and country policy.

Shift:

Select Shift code from Dropdown

Max OT:

Put here the Maximum Overtime allowed for that Shift per Day.

OT:

Check this option to enable Over Time Calculation. Uncheck this box will not allow the user to enter settings for Overtime calculation (It will be disabled) from here and In Timesheet there will be no calculation for OT.

Basis:

Here, users can put the Basis for Over Time calculation. Over time calculation will be divided by the Value entered. If No value is entered, the system will use Actual Month Hours as basis.

For Example, an Employee monthly salary is AED 3,000. OT rate is 1.25 hours and he worked for 20 hours as OT. Calculations will be the following:

Day:

Here, the user can define Multiple Days for OT rates. For example, Normal Days, Holidays and / or Other Days (Festivals / National Day etc.)

Rate:

Define over Time Rate as per Day types defined. For Example, normal day rate could be1.25, Holidays could be 1.5 and festival days could be 2 and so on as per company policy.

Normal Days:

Total working Hours in a Day is 8 hours and If an employee works for 10 hours, extra 2 hours will be paid as overtime as per the rate (1.25) specified.

Off Days (Fridays):

If an employee works on Friday which is a paid day and the company wants to consider this day as 2 days, meaning that the Company wants to pay 16 hours, we will convert the one day (8 Hours) into OT hours like this: 4 Hours OT with Rate2 so total is: 8 hours will be paid along with the normal paid Friday.

Holidays:

Same as off days.

Hours:

Here, define the maximum hours for a defined rate. For example, in Normal days, if the user puts 4 here, he/she can work maximum 4 hours at the rate 1.25.

Autofill:

Select Yes / No from Auto fill. This helps in automatically filling the over time. For example, standard shift time is 8 hours. In the Time Sheet, the time is filled for employee from 9am to 8pm. The system will automatically fill OT 3 hours if Auto fill is “Yes” is selected, otherwise fill Over time Manually.

Calculate OT:

Fill yes if calculation for OT is required. If calculate is “No”, then the employee will be able to enter OT in Timesheet, but the system will not calculate the overtime and it will not be paid in the salary sheet. This is as per Company Policy.

Salary item:

Select which Salary item user want to pay over time. Normally over time is paid on Basic Salary, but the user can add different salary items for OT calculation.

Allow to change Over Time Manually

By selecting this option, user can change the OT manually in the Time Sheet. If not selected, user cannot change OT manually. User must change the Shift time in Time Sheet.

For e.g.: If this option is checked, then employee can enter OT under different rates. If not checked, user must change the To Time, which will update the OT for corresponding rate.

-Automatically adjust time

By selecting this option, once the user changes OT in Time Sheet, the system will automatically update the Shift time. If not selected, the user must adjust time manually.

Note:

HR Employees are not applicable for Overtime Setup

6-5. Sample Calculation:

It gives Information in General: Calculations for normal hourly rate and normal daily rates, Overtime rate for normal and Holidays.

E.g.:

If the requirement of the company to calculate overtime is as below: Regular days:

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.25

After 21:00 (after 9 PM)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Fridays Days Off (If compensated with other days)

Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 1.50

Official holidays (If not compensated with other days) Rate per hour X Number of Overtime hours X 2.50

Then he can do the OT Setup as below

The user can put OT in the rate 1.25 on regular days till 21:00 and after that in rate 1.50. OT on Holidays (Friday) if compensated with other days, he/she can put in rate 1.50. OT on official days if compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 1.5 and if not compensated with other days, he/she can put on rate 2.50. Therefore, the user can do accordingly as per their requirement.

After it is done, save Time Sheet and go to Payroll for Salary Sheet.

Note:

If there is more than 1 shift for a month, users must assign the different shifts before creating Timesheet.

E.g. Ramadan Timing for a company is 6 Hours (8 AM to 2 PM), if it started on June 29, and the user wants the timesheet entry to have 6 hours, then

-Create 1 new shift ‘RAMADAN’ from Create Shifts Tab

–     Assign employees to shift for Ramadan month (June 29th to July 27th)

–     i.e. Assign Employee to shift as below:

Image 1:

Image 2:

Now while creating the Timesheet for June, last 2 entries will be for 6 hours as below.

Note:

If the user forgets to assign different shift for Ramadan, and the timesheet is created for Normal shift, he/she must delete the Created Timesheet for month of Ramadan and Assign Employees to ‘RAMADAN’ shift and recreate the Timesheet again to cause effect.

Case 1:

Timesheet Employees, for e.g., timing is 08:00 AM to 05:00 PM; if the Employee is late for 2 hours and he/she comes at 10:00 AM, then the user can set the First 2 hours (08:00 AM to 10:00 AM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’No’ and next 6 hours (10:00 AM to 12:00 PM) as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’, and (01:00 PM to 05:00 PM)  as Status = ‘Present’ and Calculate = ’Yes’ Then the Total units for calculation will be 6 hours. (As shown in the image above).

Case 2:

If the OT Hours per Day (Normal) is set as 2 (In Company Setup) and Overtime Hours is set as 4 (In Timesheet and OT Setup), then the Employee will be allowed to work for 4 hours OT in Normal Day and it will be paid for 4 Hours as OT in the salary sheet. But as the user set OT Hours per Day (Normal)=2, which can be viewed from the report that OT is for 2 hours and rest 2 hours OT will be paid as Addition.

Case 3:

If the user sets Calculate = ‘No’ in the time Sheet setup, then even if the user put OT in Timesheet, it will not be calculated. The Overtime amount will not be shown\added in the salary sheet. This is per company policy.
