Guidance [ref 10041]
-
Worktime rounding
When compensated time is rounded there is now a clear distinction between work hours that were registered and time which is paid.
This corrects issues in reports such as the Overtime and Hours by salary type report, which were earlier unable to show the correct amount of worked hours.
It also improves the accuracy of data gathered by rulesets for exports and integrations. They can now be extended to consider whether compensation exists because of rounding or not. A good example of where this might be useful is when creating a ruleset for invoices, which should be based on actually worked hours, vs a ruleset for salary integrations, which should include rounded times.
The change also addresses situations where work rises were being incorrectly earned due to rounding. A good example of this are evening and night compensations as these should be awarded for the actual time worked, not rounded time used for salary calculations. There is a new Work rise setting to enable this method of calculation, which can be found in the Work rise settings section.
Guidance [ref 8841]
