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 take into consideration only the bookings MC linked to the absences with type "Interruption" or "Any interruption" in 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 authorised overtime: Used with T counters. It calculates how much 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.
