Categories

Each timesheet entry is associated to a category. The categories control how Tiaan uses that entry in reports.

Only Administrators can update categories.

To manage categories, in the top menu, go to {Your Employer Name} > Categories.

In our documentation, we refer to it as ‘PTO.’ It may appear as ‘ETO’ or some other term, based on what your company uses.

  • Name controls how the category appears in the list and reports.
  • Uses PTO controls whether or not the timesheet entry counts against the employee’s PTO balance when they enter time in the category.
  • Earns PTO controls whether or not hours worked in this category are counted for earning PTO. This only affects employees in groups that earn PTO based on hours worked.
  • Overtime Eligible controls whether or not the entry will be counted towards the 40-hour-minimum to earn overtime. For example, taking PTO could be set not to count towards overtime; an employee who works 40 hours in a week and takes 8 hours of PTO would earn 48 hours of regular pay, not 40 hours of regular pay and 8 hours of overtime.
  • Included in Regular Hours Total controls whether or not the entry will be counted in the Total Hours Worked column of the report.
