Paycodes need to be defined before Shop Floor Activities. The paycodes must match the paycodes in your payroll system by name if you plan on exporting time from Shop Floor Insight to your payroll system or calculating overtime.

The initial setup wizard pre-configures example paycodes for regular time, overtime, and more. If you do not intend on calculating overtime or exporting time to your payroll system, you still need a paycode. For unpaid time on a card and not exported to your payroll system, you can create a paycode called “Unpaid” and turn off Export or configure your payroll system to ignore unpaid paycodes.

Configure paycodes

1. Search for Shop Floor Paycode.
2. Enter all paycodes used by your payroll system.
3. Complete the following for each paycode:
   • Code: represents the paycode in your payroll system.
   • Description: a usable description to understand the purpose of the paycode.
   • Source Description: information only, and an additional reference to your payroll system if necessary.
   • Export: if you plan on exporting time with this paycode, select it.
   • Overtime Factor: supplied only if you have Post Overtime Costs configured on your Shop Floor Setup page. For all time that has a multiplier of 1, enter 1 in the overtime factor (if blank or zero, your costs could be zeroed out).
