Payroll time as hours and minutes

As long as I’ve been doing payroll we have been entering payroll hours based on ¼ hour increments. However, we would like payroll to be entered as hours and minutes now.

Example someone who has worked 2 hours and 14 minutes currently I would enter them into the system for 2.25 hours:

$8/hr * 2.25 hrs = $18

However, if we wanted to pay them by the minute how would I enter that? It wouldn’t be 2.14, that would only come out to $17.12, which if you are paying by the minute $8 divided by 60 minutes would equal 0.1333333 per minute therefore 2.14 would be 2*8 + 0.1333333 * 14 which would equal 17.87. Is there a way to do this in DynGP2010 or 2013?

RE: Payroll time as hours and minutes

Hello!

By default GP is setup to enter payroll transactions as "unit. fraction of unit" so I don't think there is a way to do this out of the box with GP however I will do some digging to see if theres any way at all this can be done.

I tested with a pay type of other however as you pointed out 8/60 creates a value of .1333 repeating so even by using a paytype of other (with the pay code denoting minutes worked) it doesn't work out the same as using hours and fractions of hours.
