Creating a timebank

To see if an employee qualifies for statutory holiday pay, or to track an employee’s time in relation to a specific job.

Setup the timebank:

Steps:

1. Go to Setup > Payroll Categories.
2. Hit Add. A pop up menu will appear requesting you to select one of the above mentioned types. You want to select Earning.
3. Fill in the item number, description, abbreviation, and choose piecework under type. Unit description can be hours, days, etc.
4. UNCHECK all boxes such as subject to Tax EI CPP etc.
5. T4, T4A, & RELEVE1 boxes should all say not reported.
6. When you are asked if you want to apply this to all employees, this is your choice.
7. It does not have to be printed on payslips.

Notes:

1. When you are running a payroll and this item appears on the employee's timesheet, fill in the amount required such as days, hours, etc. for that pay period.
2. To check and see how many hours, days, etc the employee has print your employee history report or the employee year to date report to the screen to verify the amount of hours, days, etc the employee has.
3. To pay out an amount using the time bank such as for overtime which was banked you should do the following:
   1. Enter the regular hours etc.
   2. If the employee wants to use some of their banked time, in the box that says banked hours or what ever you called the payroll item put in a negative amount. 

For example: if the employee has worked 30 regular hours and wants to add 10 hours of banked time to his timesheet to bring the amount up to 40 hours you would put 40 hours in the regular hours item and place a negative 10 hours (-10) in the banked time item.  This will reduce the employee’s time bank by 10 hours.  This change will be reflected in the employee history and employee Year to Date report.
