HR: Getting Payroll Hours Worked Info for Benefits

Overview

WinTeam does not store hours within a paycheck by day, but by pay week ending. In order to determine the hours worked information for benefits set up to Get Hours Info From Payroll Checks – Wages (in Benefit Setup), the following rules will apply:

Benefit Frequency – Monthly

Paycheck Frequency: Weekly, Bi-Weekly and Bi-Weekly 2

Since the accrual period is a month’s time, the system looks for pay week ending dates within the Hours Date Range to find the hours worked for the employee. If the pay week ending date does not fall within the date range, it is not included in the hours worked calculation.

Paycheck Frequency: Semi-Monthly

The system first determines if the monthly period coincides with a semi-monthly cycle, making sure that the From and To dates are consistent with a pay period beginning date and a pay period ending date. If it does, the system includes any paycheck whose pay period From and To dates fall within the Hours Date Range specified for the batch. If the From OR To date does not fall within this date range, it is not included in the hours worked calculation.

Benefit Frequency – Annually

Paycheck Frequency: Weekly, Bi-Weekly and Bi-Weekly 2

Since the accrual period is a year’s time, the system looks for any pay week ending dates within the Hours Date Range specified for the batch to find the hours worked for the employee. If the pay week ending date does not fall within the date range, it is not included in the hours worked calculation.

Paycheck Frequency: Semi-Monthly

The system includes any paycheck whose pay period From and To dates fall within the Hours Date Range specified for the batch. If the From OR To date does not fall within this date range, it is not included in the hours worked calculation.

Benefit Frequency – Pay Period

Paycheck Frequency: Bi-Weekly and Bi-Weekly 2

The Hours Date Range should always correspond with a pay week. In this case, the system looks at any paycheck whose week ending dates fall within the Hours Date Range specified for the batch. If it does not, it is not included in the hours worked calculation.

Paycheck Frequency: Semi-Monthly

The Hours Date Range should always correspond to a semi-monthly pay period. In this case, the system looks at any paycheck whose pay period From and To dates fall within the Hours Date Range specified for the batch. If it does not, it is not included in the hours worked calculation.
