Updates to Paid Time Off
Posted by Jared in NewsTagged: features, new features, News, time entry, updates
Paid Time Off (PTO) support has been available to employees for a while now. But now, managers can enter PTO for their employees easily. They can also make modifications to PTO that the employees have entered themselves.
How does it work?
Open up the PTO Editor normally. Then, to edit another employee’s PTO, begin typing the name of the employee in the input field at the bottom left of the screen. You’ll see a dynamically loading list of matching employee names to choose from. Select one, and then click on ‘Switch User’. Now you’re editing PTO for that user, as indicated in the top left of the window.
You can easily assign PTO codes to an employee by clicking on the employee’s name (in the top left of the PTO Editor) to bring up the Employee Editor. From there you can create/modify/assign PTO codes to the employee.
We’ve also fixed a bug in the Report Generator which caused PTO to be included in overtime calculations. It will no longer do that, and you’re still able to see a tally of PTO broken out by PTO code as you would expect.
Feedback.
We’d love to hear your feedback about what works and what doesn’t work and what we can do to make it better!

This feature is great. The only thing that would make it better, is if you could add PTO for an entire group at once. Such as adding a paid holiday for the entire office without having to add them individually.

Great idea! We’ll add it to our idea list as a potential enhancement for the future.
Thanks!

Is it possible for PTO hours to automatically figure based on total hours worked for the year?

It sounds like you may be asking about tracking accrual of PTO available for employees? TSheets does not currently offer that capability. Tracking accrual of how much PTO is due an employee is something that must be handled by the customer and/or their payroll system.
Great idea, though! We’ve got it on our idea list.
