Vision TLM - Employee Master

In this article we will go over the Employee Master window and each of it's Tabs.

Information pertinent to each individual employee is entered in the Employee Master window and includes a wide variety of topics ranging from static details for human resource purposes to functional data for payroll and scheduling purposes. This information is utilized by supervisory personnel when deciding who will be scheduled to work for a specific Customer, Location, Position and Tour.

Employee Master

Select Employee Master from the Masters drop-down or Click the Employee button.

The top half of the Employee Master contains static employee information.

The Employee Status section is used when inactivating or re-activating an employee who has been terminated.

When changing an employee’s status to INACTIVE, the system will require a Termination Date (on the Employee Tab).

populated. The Hire Date field can be used for rehire date.

Payroll Tab

The Payroll Tab is where standard payroll information is entered.

Check - user-defined field used for check and voucher sorting.

Regular Hours is an information-only field.

Min-Net allows for employees with multiple garnishments and deductions to receive a minimum net pay amount for the payroll period. (works with Vault Payroll only)

Holiday Level allows for holiday differentiation with employees that may receive different benefits.

Examples:

(1) Probationary employees are not entitled to receive holiday premium pay until
attaining a minimum number of hours or days worked in the current year.

(2) Seniority employees receive holiday premium pay at double time (Level 2) vs time and one half for those employees below that level.

NOTE: There are additional options for various states and daily overtime calculations. Please refer to the Vision Manual for explanation of all options.

OT Calculation determines the conditions under which worked hours qualify for overtime. The distribution of worked hours is represented as RR_O_H where:
RR = Regular hours
O = Overtime hours
H = Holiday hours


40-0-8 option does not allow holiday hours to count towards overtime hours and 32-8-8 option does.

When OT Calculation has been set to Daily Variable OT Employee Base, the Overtime tab will display. Users can set Overtime hours for each day.

Example:

If day 1 has been set to be 24, the guards won’t get any Overtime.  If day 1 has been set to be 0, the guards get overtime for the entire day. If all days have been set to be 0, and “Payroll Type” set to “Hourly”, all days will be overtime.
