Found in the Review Time Card screen, the Add Earnings function adds or edits earnings that are not based on punches or daily hours.

Warning: Remember that if you add double time to a set of punches that has already been calculated as overtime, you must offset the overtime with a negative number for the amount of the double time you are entering. The software will alert you to do this each time you enter double time on a day that has overtime already calculated. By not doing this, you are "double-dipping" or "pyramiding" the double time with the overtime.

Add Earnings dialog box

This table describes the fields on the Add Earnings dialog box.

Field	Description	Notes
Date Earning Created	Select the date the earning is applied.	The only dates available are those that fall within the selected pay period.
Pay date is different than earning date	Indicates that the earning should be paid on a different date than the date on which the earning was created. If selected, the Date Earning Paid field appears.
Date Earning Paid	Enter the date on which the earning will be paid.	This field appears only if you select the check box for pay date being different than earning date.
Job	Select the job to which the earning is attached.	Only the jobs the employee worked during that pay period, are displayed.
Earnings Type	Designate what type of earning is being entered. The names of the types are user-configured; however, each type falls under one of the following designations: Hours Units Costs Memo. Some earnings codes require that you enter Hours/Units or Costs; some codes require entries for Hours/Units and Cost. For example, to pay someone for 8 hours of missed pay, the rate of pay (Costs) is multiplied by the number of Hours, so an entry is required in both fields.
Hours	Enter the earnings as a number of hours. For example, the addition of 8 vacation hours results in the employee earning an additional 8 hours of pay.	The availability of this field depends on the selected earnings type.
Units	Enter the earnings as a number of units. For example, charge receipts and piece pay are entered as units.	The availability of this field depends on the selected earnings type.
Costs	Enter the earnings as a monetary amount. For example, tips are entered as monetary amounts (Costs).	The availability of this field depends on the selected earnings type.
Memo	Make an entry for informational purposes only. An employee who gets assigned amounts from a memo does not receive additional compensation for them. Additionally, memo amounts are not figured as taxable revenue. They are strictly for information only. An example of a memo is the entry of gross sales for food and beverage (F&B) employees. F&B tipped employees are required by the government to claim at least 8% of their gross sales in tips. This information is tracked by entering each employee's gross sales as a memo. Other memos might include benefit balances, manual check payments, and any other miscellaneous tracking that does not affect an employee's paycheck.	The availability of this field depends on the selected earnings type.
Description	Add comments about the punch.
