Setting combination pay code entry options

If your company uses combination pay codes, you have three different options for how employees can enter combination pay codes on time cards. You can select one of the following options from the Entry option for combination Pay Codes dropdown list.

• Dropdown with Lookup: This is the default. In the dropdown list on the Edit Time Card screen, the employee can see and select any combination pay code that s/he has entered on any time card, or s/he can select Create to look up codes and create a new combination.

• Manual Entry No Lookup: The employee can only manually enter a combination pay code, separating each code with a comma. There is no lookup. You may find this useful if you do not want your employees to see any codes besides those that you tell them to use.

• Manual Entry with Lookup: This brings together elements of the other two options. The employee can manually enter a combination pay code, separating each code with a comma. S/he can also click to the right of the field to look up codes and create a new combination.

After you select a combination pay code entry option on the Parameter Setup screen > Time Cards tab, go to the following places to finish setting up combination pay codes.

1. Time Card Setup > e-timecard Initialization > Earning Codes tab: Turn on the Implement Combination Pay Codes check box and select validation options for the different levels.

2. Go to each org9 that uses combination pay codes and set the maximum pay codes to more than one; you can override this setting for an employee type.
