This option allows you to enter total number of daily hours for each
employee in the punch group.
Select
the radio-button next to the group that you would like to insert hours
for.
Click
on the [HOURS] icon at the bottom of the "Mass Punch Groups"
screen. The
"Create Mass Hours" screen opens.
Enter
the Start Date and End
Date. This is the range of days on which hours totals will be added,
based on your Effective Days selection.
Click on
the 
icons to select the dates from a calendar.
The
Forecast option is used
with the "Forecast" report. When selected, no hours will be
generated, but employee hours will be forecasted based on the Mass Hours
entry.
If
you would like to award employees with a set number of Hours,
enter the number of daily hours to be inserted for each day in the specified
date range, based on your Effective Days
selection.
The
Pay to Schedule option will
award employees with the number of "Required Hours" specified
on the Schedule Rule of the schedule that they are assigned to.
Note: In order to use this option, employees must be assigned
to a schedule. The schedule that the employees are assigned to must also
be assigned to a Schedule Rule which has a "Required Hours"
setting that is greater than "0." The number of hours awarded
is based solely on the "Required Hours." The actual start and
stop time of the schedule that the employee is assigned to is ignored.
If an employee already has hours on a day specified in the Mass Hours
range, no additional hours will be awarded by this setting.
If
you would like to assign these hours to a Premium Pay Code, make the desired
selection from the Premium drop-down
menu.
If
you would like to assign these hours to a department level, make the desire
selection from the Department
drop-down menu, or click on the 
icon to select from a
department map. By
default the employee's assigned department level will be selected.
If
you would like to assign this hours total to a Schedule
Rule, make the desired selection from the drop-down menu.
If
you would like to assign these hours to a Job, make the desired selection
from the Job drop-down menu.
Note: This option will only be available if you are using
the Job Tracking module of the TimeForce system.
If
you would like to assign these hours to a Task, make the desired selection
from the Task drop-down menu.
Note: This field is only available when you have selected a
"Job."
If
you would like to assign a piece quantity to this hours total, make the
desired entry in the Quantity
field.
Note: This field is only available when you have selected
a "Job."
The
Effective Days option allows you
to select on which days of the week hours totals will be created.
Example: If you would like to hours totals for a 2-week period,
but on weekdays only, the desired
period would be specified in the Start
Date and End Date fields.
A check
mark would then be placed in the boxes for Monday through Friday, leaving
the Sunday and Saturday boxes un-checked.
The
Employees section of the screen
allows you to modify the employees that are assigned to this group. The
Used section displays the employees
that are already assigned. Add or remove employees from the group as desired.
Note: The changes you make to the employees assigned to this
group do not effect the group itself. You are only modifying which employees
will be included in this mass hours entry.
Click
on the [PROCESS] icon to process the mass hours entry.
