Edit a Job's Category

Category defines how hours or days for a job are recorded.

You can change the category for hourly and daily jobs, if necessary, even if the job already has payments against it.

You can edit the job category from either the Employee Payroll Information or Employee Payroll Jobs windows.

Job category types

• Regular: Default hours or days for the job are displayed when the job is included in a payroll. Hourly jobs that use the Hourly Payment Plan are always Regular.

• Timesheet: Hours or days for the job default to zero, requiring the entry of the hours or days for each payroll period.

• No Hours Required: Compensation is not earned for time spent performing duties. A stipend would be an example. Hours don't need to be entered in Manage Payroll for this category.
