Activating flexitime tracking for employees with hourly pay

If you want to activate flexitime tracking for an employee whose pay type is hourly pay and use this feature in working time entry, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a new record type by selecting Payroll > Settings > Payroll settings > Record types > Add new record type.

    Name the record type as you wish, for example “02. Flexitime increase”. This record type is used to increase the flexitime balance, but it does not directly affect payroll or its euros.



    Do not set a calculation formula for the record type, as it is not needed in this example. This is an informative entry. In the image below, a full working day (7.5 h) and one hour of flexitime have been entered in the working time entry:



  2. Create a salary type for flexitime leave by selecting Payroll > Settings > Payroll settings > Salary types > Add new salary type.

    This salary type is handled on the payslip when flexitime leave is taken (as the target salary type). Also add this salary type to the calculation formula of the “Salary in money” salary type.

  3. Create a record type with which flexitime leave is to be paid.

    In this example it is “002. Flexitime leave payment”. Give it a calculation formula with which the row sum to the payslip is calculated based on hourly pay for the flexitime leave entered, to the salary type created in step 2:



    Note that the flexitime leave to be paid in the working time entry “reduces” the flexitime balance, because it does not affect flexitime calculation and the normal hourly work entered does not meet the requirements of a full working day:



  4. Handle the recorded working hours on the payslip.

    When the flexitime leave accrued and taken is included, it looks like this:
