Understand the balance of the general compensation time bank on the timesheet.

The accumulated time bank feature simplifies the monitoring of an employee's time bank balance. With it, the system automatically counts positive (accumulated) and negative (compensated) hours, comparing the points recorded by employees with expected work hours. All of this is adjusted based on the time bank rules configured in the system, ensuring accuracy and alignment with company policies.

⚠️ Warning:

We will analyze the time bank created using a general compensation .

The general time bank system is a method of controlling working hours in which all overtime and negative hour balances of employees are centralized into a single balance, accumulating over a period determined by the company.

In this system, positive hours (overtime) and negative hours (lateness, absences, or early departures) are added together and subtracted from the same balance, making management and compensation easier over time.

At the end of the cycle stipulated by the company (monthly, semi-annually, etc.), this balance can be offset with time off, adjustments to the work schedule, or even payment, according to internal policy.

How to check your banked hours on your timesheet:

1. Access the employee's payslip.

In the top menu of the Management website, click on "sheet" and then select "timesheets" .

2. Apply the necessary filters.

Filter by employees.

In the "select employees" field, search for and select the employee, then click search .

In the upper left corner of the screen, select the period for which you want to check the time bank balance.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on the accumulated time bank to expand it.

3. Read the time bank report.

On the left side, you can view the current month (see the selected period). This view provides a detailed overview of the employee's monthly balance.

• Accumulated hours = positive hours worked in the period/month
• Compensated hours = negative hours worked in the period/month

Balance = balance for the period/month, resulting from the difference between accumulated and compensated hours.

On the right side, the accumulated and compensated hours for the entire current period are displayed, considering the complete time bank cycle. This value represents the total sum of hours since the beginning of the cycle, allowing for a broader view of the accumulated balance over time.

• Accumulated hours = positive hours worked in the current cycle.
• Compensated hours = negative hours worked in the current cycle.
• Balance = balance of the current cycle, resulting from the difference between accumulated and compensated hours.
• If this is the first cycle, the start date for accumulating banked hours will be determined by the most recent date among the employee's admission date, the banked hours start date (if filled in), or the start date of the configured banked hours rule.
• If it is not the first cycle, the start of the accumulation of banked hours for the current cycle will be determined by the date of the last time balance adjustment (see this article to understand more about banked hours adjustment).

4. See the time bank details.

Click on "show details" to view a breakdown of the value for each field, separated by entries.

With this feature, tracking employee balances becomes simpler and more efficient. This functionality allows you to clearly view positive and negative hours, both for the current month and the entire cycle, ensuring greater transparency in time management.

By understanding how accrued hours are calculated and recorded, your company can accurately manage the time bank, optimizing processes and ensuring compliance with the rules configured in the system.
