Set up comp time

Comp time is time earned by staff for working beyond their expected hours, which they can take as time off later.
If your firm lets staff earn comp time, you can turn on comp time and specify settings for tracking it.
If your firm uses the application to track comp time, you should also use the approval and posting process for time and expense entry, which requires an administrator to approve comp time entries.
  1. Open the
    Firm
     setup screen.
    Choose
    Setup
    Firm
    .
  2. Open the
    Benefits
     tab.
  3. Turn on comp time tracking.
    In the
    Comp time
     section, select the
    Activate
     checkbox.
  4. Select an allowance factor option.
    Choose either
    X hours for every hour worked over expected hours
     or

      Select
      OK
       to return to the
      Firm
       setup screen.

    If staff can transfer over comp time from one benefit year to the next, select the
    Allow annual carryover

     checkbox and enter the maximum number of hours that a staff member can transfer over.
