Factor Target

The labor distribution where this factor can be assigned (e.g., job class, position, organization unit, shift, etc.) This Target is selected in the Factors screen.

For example, if this value is set to Job Class, the options that display in the Factor Code field are those that were set up on the Factors screen with the Target field set to Job Class.

Note: For more information on setting up factors, see the Configuration section>Time and Attendance card>Factor screen.

Pay Code Equation Code

Pay Code Prompt Resource Code

The code for the telephony .wav file for an entered pay code. When a pay code is entered using the TimeCall system, the user will hear the alternate description of the pay code as defined by this .wav file, instead of the standard description.

For example, when a user making a non-productive entry keys the code for PTO, instead of hearing "P-T-O" the user may hear, "Paid Time Off"; or instead of hearing "V-A-C" the user may hear "Vacation", as set up in the .wav file.
