Categories can be added to Benefits in AMG Attendance System. The Benefits page allows you view employees' benefit hours, and to add, subtract and set benefit hours.

Click here to view the Benefit Assignment page.

To add or subtract a benefit:

1. In the Employees table, check the employee(s) to whom you want to add/set benefit or from whose benefit you want to subtract. (For checking or unchecking all employees simultaneously select the check box next to the word Check in the headers.) Before checking employees, you may filter the list of employees to find the ones you need. (Click here to see how to filter them.)


Filtering Employees To filter the list of employees: Click on the Filter button. (A new panel appears Employee Filter panel). In the Employee Filter panel enter or select the criteria by which you want to filter. Click on the Refresh button. After filtering, the Employees table will display only those employees who correspond to the entered or selected criteria. If no employee corresponds to the criteria, then no record will be dislayed in the table. To view all employees, or to start over, click on the Reset button. To hide the Filter Conditions panel, click again on the Filter button.  Note: If you don't remember the whole Code or Name of the employee, you can enter a single letter or number which can be either at the beginning or in the middle or in the end of the employee's Code or Name. You can simultaneously filter by more than one criteria.



2. In the Benefits group box select the operation to perform (add, subtract or balance), the benefit category, the number of hours to be added, subtracted or set, and the start and end date of the period within which the employee may use the benefit hours.
   If you want to assign benefit accrual rule, then select the Benefit Accrual Rule option and select the rule you want to assign to employee(s) from the drop-down list. (This option will be available only if the Benefit Accruals feature is activated in your software). If you want to assign a Mandatory Paid Sick Leave rule, then select Mandatory Paid Sick Leave option and select the rule you want to assign to employee(s) from the drop-down list. (This option will be available only if the Mandatory Paid Sick Leave feature is activated in your software).
3. Click on the Assign button.

Note:

Start Date and End Date are inactive when the Subtract radio button is selected because, when subtracting, you don't choose the time period from to subtract. The system automatically subtracts from the current period. End Date is inactive when the Balance radio button is selected, because when setting benefit hours there is no end date.

To generate a report on employees' benefits, click on the Report button. The generated report will display only those employees displayed in your filtered list.
