Use this numeric field to designate the number of work hours in your company's year. This number is used to compute the Hourly rate from the Annual rate entered on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen. For example, an Annual rate entered on the Employee Salary Information screen of $20,800 yields an Hourly rate of $10.00 per hour if 2080 (hours) is entered in the Number of Work Hours in the Year field. This field is normally either 2080 or 2016.
Enter the prevailing minimum hourly pay rate.

The number of months entered here increments the employee's Next Review Date on the HR Data tab of the Manage Employee Information screen after you enter a new line on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen.

Enter, or use this drop-down list to select, your company's default timesheet cycle. The timesheet cycle identifies a schedule of timesheet dates. For each timesheet cycle, the "start" and "end" dates identify a time period within the cycle. You must establish the timesheet period related to the cycle first. See the documentation for the Manage Timesheet Periods screen.
Use this drop-down list to select a default to be used on the timesheet entry form. Select from the list of pay types or enter the pay type code to be used exclusively. This should be a "regular" (non-overtime) pay type.

You must establish pay types before you can enter a default.
