Counters Operations

 
Here you can link the counters to a counter operation or make simple mathematical calculations between counters: add, subtract, multiply or divide different time and/or count items.
 
Predefined formulas
Predefined formulas are fixed counter operations that can be only used once with maximum 5 counters. These are:
 
·     Absence hours: Used with T counters. It calculates how much an employee still has to work in a day, core time minus unpaid break time;
·     Early leave: Used with T counters. It calculates how much time an employee was missing  in a day due to early leave, regular time minus core time;
·     Interrupt: Used with T counters. It takes into consideration only the bookings MC linked to the absences with type "Interruption" or "Any interruption" in the definition. It calculates the time of interruption.
·     Late arrival: Used with T counters. It calculates how much time an employee was missing in a day due to late arrival, regular time minus core time;
·     Non authorized overtime: Used with T counters. It quantifies the unauthorized overtime an employee has;
·     No. of days absence: Used with C counters. It counts the days of absence, and it takes into consideration only absences with "Count as normal day" in definition;
·     No. of days holiday: Used with C counters. It counts the non-working days;
·     No. of days worked: Used with C counters. It counts the number of days worked;
·     No. of times early leave: Used with C counters. It counts the number of times with early leave;
·     No. of times interrupt: Used with C counters. It counts the number of absences with "Interruption" or "Any interruption" in definition;
·     No. of times late arrival: Used with C counters. It counts the number of late arrivals.
 
If the option Use 'Standard Start-End' instead of 'Core Start-End' for early leave/late arrival calculation is put on YES in Settings - System - tab Application config., the formulas will refer to standard start/end time instead of core time.
 
Customable formulas
There are six different formulas that can be used to make calculations with T counters:
 
·     Add
·     Subtract
·     Multiply
·     Divide
·     Minimum
·     Maximum.
 
These formulas can be used in maximum 200 counter operations, e.g. create a calculation with counter T3 and T4, the result of this calculation is saved in counter T5.
 
Following regular counters have a code when used in calculations:
 
Normtime A:
?NRM
Start coretime:
?CRF
End coretime:
?CRT
Standard start:
?STS
Standard end:
?STE
Hours wage:
Start first break:
B0F (0 = NOUGHT)
End first break:
B0T (0 = NOUGHT)
Balance:
BAL
Regular:
REG
Effective:
EFF
 
Priority refers to the counter definition priority.
You can also use constant values in calculations; just note that they must be expressed in minutes.
 
Formulas used in pay groups and overtime groups
A number of items are used in pay groups (please see Pay Groups for explanations).
 
·     Daily OT A-E
·     Stolen Overtime (Viking)
·     SW Normalized Abs. Hours
·     SW OT
·     SW Recup
·     SW Weekly Bonus
·     Weekly LT A-C
·     Weekly OT A-E.
