Timecards: FAQ

Last updated: August 29, 2025

Can I have Employees with 'Day' rates also have 'Hourly' rates in the same pay period?
  • Yes, define the hourly rates as a Work Classifications and daily rates as Pay Codes.

In the Extraction step:

  • Create a Timecard with Work Classification for hourly work (so that the system subsequently breakdown OT/DT)

  • Create a Timecard with daily Pay Code to accommodate the day pay. The quantity of this Pay Code can be hard-coded to 1 or it can be fraction of a day, e.g. 0.5 day.

if I pay someone a daily rate, I don't want their hours to be included in the OT/DT breakdown.
  • Aimsio extraction logic can be configured to only post a timecard with a daily Pay code
Can I have more than one per diem per employee?
  • Yes, Per Diems should be defined as Pay Codes. You can have as many as you need.
What about other bonuses?
  • If the bonus is determined based on some rules (e.g. If someone used their own truck, they get a truck pay), then it should be defined as a Pay Code.

  • If the bonus should be paid automatically every pay period (e.g. Cell Phone Allowance), this will go under Standard Earnings & Reductions, which will be implemented at a later phase.

Can I pay Travel Time as a lump sum pay, regardless of the hours?
  • Yes, define the Travel Time as a Pay Code.
Can I exclude Travel Time from Overtime calculations and pay them separately based on the hours?
  • Map travel times to ST, and therefore, they won’t be considered in OT/DT calculations but are still paid on an hourly basis.
Can I include Travel Time in the Overtime calculations (opposite to above)?
  • Map it to RT with a work classification and the system will take care of OT/DT breakdown.
What if I need to pay a different rate for Travel Time?
  • Add a new Work Classification (e.g. TRAVEL) with the right rate.
How does Aimsio Extraction logic work?
  • The Raw Data will be the starting point.

  • The mappings determine how to extract Timecards based on each row/column.

  • You can either use hard-coded values (e.g. always use Paycode 100 for any Per Diem);

  • Or we can use the values in the other columns (e.g. RT = Hrs column) to determine the Pay Code/Work Classification/Rate/Qty of the time card.

  • Multiple Timecards can be extracted from the same row in the Payroll Report, e.g. a work classification time card for the hours worked, along with a Pay Code time card for the Per Diem.
