Operation

The following fields are editable:

Field Description
Reason Name A short name for the reason, as it will appear on most reports and forms, as well as on the Maintain Rosters & Timesheets application.
Description A description explaining the purpose and usage of the adjustment reason.
Paid time outside working hours If this box is checked, it signifies that adjustments of this type are paid time, but the employee did not spend the time working.  A common example is sick leave.

If unchecked, the adjustment is still paid time, but it is assumed that the employee is actively working. Typically these adjustments represent non-selling time such as merchandising work out the back of the store
Effect on Selling Hours When calculating an employees sales performance, for example using a measure such as Sales per hours, only selling hours are taken into account. This field determines how a specific adjustment will affect an employees Selling Hours calculation.

3 settings are possible for this field:

Setting Description
None The adjustment has no effect on selling hours.  Generally this setting is used when the adjustment represents paid time outside working hours, such as Annual Leave or Sick Leave.
Add This would add the adjustment to the employees selling time. For example a retailer may choose to penalise employees for sick leave and add any sick time to worked hours when calculating performance. This setting is not typically used.
Deduct If an adjustment reduces the selling hours, it means the employee was working, but away from the shop floor.  An example of this is Stocktake time where the employee may have been in a storage room.
Obsolete If checked, the item will be unavailable for selection from any application, but it will still show on historical reports.
