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 Employer > 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.
- Custom Report Columns allows you to include categories in additional columns in the report that you can download from the Overview page. If you put “Column A, Column B” in Category 1, and “Column A, Column C” in Category 2, the report will include three extra columns: Column A (total hours in Category 1 and Category 2), Column B (total hours in Category 1), and Column C (total hours in Category 2). You can enter any names you’d like for these columns; the only rule is that the names (if using multiple) should be separated by commas.
