Condensing timesheets is a way to split out over time hours from the ‘normal’ agreed hours. This information is then coded differently for the payroll import.

Info

Contract work cannot be condensed however it will contribute to the total hours and split

Pros

  • Hourly payslips are a lot simpler

  • Hourly payslips are shorter

Cons

  • Task detail is removed for hourly work

  • Cost coding is generalised for hourly work

Organisation settings

To enable this feature you currently need to get in touch with the team and provide the task name and costing code for your ‘ordinary time’ and ‘over time’.

Note

These new codes directly relate to your payroll provider, please ensure they are correct

We will then set up your account with condense timesheets and the new pay elements:

Employee settings

This feature is applied to each employee individually and requires their agreed hours per week to be entered and for condense timesheets in payroll to be ticked.

Reports
