Premiums

This topic is intended for system administrators.

Who gets a premium, and when?

Employees receive premiums for all sorts of reasons: shift premiums, premiums for having a particular competency (e.g. a first-aid certificate), or for being the acting supervisor.)

If you don't want premiums to be entered on the timesheet, just exclude them from the list of fields available.

Most premiums are automatically added by various Umana processes. These premiums won't be entered in the timesheet; you don't want an employee give himself a premium whenever he feels like it.

• So be sure to limit premiums choosable on the web, to premiums which are not added automatically.

Entering Premiums

Premiums are shown below time worked and absences, without start and end times, and are not connected directly to time worked transactions.

• Which premiums are available may, however, will depends on the hours and jobs worked that day. (That's why they are at the end.)

• When a premium is limited to certain jobs, it can only be entered if the employee has worked in one of those jobs, and for not more than the number of hours that the employee worked in those job.

Premiums are recorded in hours (as with time worked and absences). The rate is calculated by the desktop application when the transaction is approved and sent (posted) to the gross pay.

Premium codes (PRIME table)

Premiums are a pay code. The premiums available are in the PRIME table.

• You configure them in the Umana desktop application at Admin > Tables > PRIME or at Admin > Premiums (depending on your set-up)

• As with other pay codes, you control which premium (PRIME) codes are available by putting "W" in the Timesheet col field of the table.
