Work Codes Overview
The Work Code function is designed to capture and assign the labor hours worked by
hourly workers whose time worked is recorded in timeQplus. The Work Codes can be
departments, projects, activities, or any other segmentation associated with labor hours.
The administrator will enter the list of Work Codes into the timeQplus system and there
are two modes of operation to manage Work Code entries. The system can be set up so
that the master list of Work Codes is available to all employees and they can select any
work code on the list. The other mode is assigning work codes to individual hourly
employees and the employee can only select assigned work codes.
Work Code activity can be monitored by management using several functions provided in
the timeQplus application. The IN/OUT Board authorized users can see the active Work
Code for each employee who is punched in by displaying the IN/OUT Board. Please
note that the IN/OUT board needs to be refreshed periodically because the time clocks
used by employees require a polling cycle to get current live information. The frequency
of the polling cycle can be set by the timeQplus Administrator, and the default value is
polling every sixty minutes. There are also standard reports that will show how the labor
hours are recorded for the assigned Work Codes.
