ATR9800 User Guide
12 Categories
Categories
Categories are used to group time into special blocks for administrative reasons. The ATR9800
system has 12 predefined categories: Break, Holiday, Lunch, Other Time, Personal, Per Diem #1,
Per Diem #2, Regular, Sick Hours, Tip #1, Tip #2, and Vacation. The ATR9800 will accept an
unlimited number of user-defined categories. With the exception of Break, Holidays, Lunch, Per
Diem, Regular, and Tips, all categories are entered manually in the system under Time
Transaction maintenance.
The number of times a category occurred shows on the Category Count Report. By using the
Category Count Report, miscellaneous transactions can be used to track items other than time and
attendance. Examples of user-defined categories are Jury Duty, Bonus Days, Floating Holidays,
and Bereavement.
If the flag for exports is not set under Company Setup, this will be the default Category screen.
You must run a Category Count Report and check (Yes) to Post Categories for the employee
benefits window to be updated.
Category entry overrides absence: If category entry is made and the employee has not worked
that day, this entry overrides the absence. If employee A did not work a specific day and you
want to add hours for this category on that day, this entry would override the fact that they did not
work. Setting this to N for no would bar you from assigning hours to the category VAC unless the
employee worked.
Are category entries paid: Will hours added to this category be paid or will this category be
used only to track the time?
Export this category to payroll: When running export time card data report, this category's time
will be included.
