Some employers allow employees to take time off instead of being paid overtime pay. To track time in lieu hours entitled to employees, use the following information as a guide.

Set up time in lieu payroll categories:

You'll need to create wage and entitlement categories to track time in lieu hours and payments.

Create a wage category for time in lieu earned

Go to the Payroll command centre and click Payroll Categories.
Click the Wages tab and then click New.
Name the new category Time in Lieu - Earned.
For the Type of Wages select the Hourly option.
For the Pay Rate, select Fixed Hourly Rate of $0.00.
Click Employee and select all employees who are eligible for time in lieu and then click OK.
Click OK.

Create a wage category for time in lieu taken

In the Payroll Categories List window, click the Wages tab, and then click New.
Name the new category Time in Lieu - Taken.
For the Type of Wages, select the Hourly option.
For the Pay Rate, select Regular Rate Multiplied by 1.0000.
Select the Automatically Adjust Base Hourly or Base Salary Details option. This will ensure that any hours allocated to this wage category will automatically be deducted from the employee's base wages.
Click Employee and select all employees who are eligible for time in lieu and then click OK.
Click OK.

Create an entitlement category to track time in lieu balances

In the Payroll Categories List window, click the Entitlements tab and then click New.
Name the new category Time in Lieu Accrual.
Set the Calculation Basis to Equals [100%] Percent of [Time in Lieu - Earned].
Set the Linked Wage Category to Time in Lieu - Taken.
Click Employee and select all employees who are eligible for time in lieu and then click OK.
Click OK.

Process a pay with time in lieu

When an employee works overtime that will be paid as time off in lieu, enter the number of hours in the Hours column of the Time in Lieu - Earned wage category. The Time in Lieu Accrual entitlement will shows the same number of hours as being added.

You can use timesheets to keep track of hours worked that will be paid as time in lieu.

When the employee takes the time off, you enter the hours taken in the Hours column of the Time in Lieu - Paid wage category. The Base Hourly amount automatically reduces by the amount of time in lieu.
