Time and payroll
How does ControlBoard® apply different time rules to different jobs and people?
ControlBoard keeps your time rules as named policies: how time is entered, punch rules, drive time, certified payroll
and overtime. Accounting writes a policy once and applies it to the whole company, a subsidiary, a division, a job or
one person. The company default applies wherever nothing more specific is set, so a union job or a travelling crew can
follow its own rules without a separate setup. Changing a policy changes it everywhere it is used. Each person’s
record shows which policy is in force and where it comes from, which makes a payroll question quick to answer.
What you can do with it
- Apply different time rules to different jobs and people
- Set a company default, then override it where needed
- Stop offering a policy you no longer use

Common questions
Can different parts of my company follow different punch rules?
Yes. Punch rules, drive time, overtime and the time entry form can each be set for the company, a subsidiary, a
division or one person. A job can carry its own time entry form and certified payroll policy. ControlBoard shows
the policy in force and where it comes from.
Does ControlBoard calculate certified payroll and overtime?
Certified payroll and overtime policies can be assigned today, and they take effect when a payroll feed reads
them. Until then each line of time keeps its own pay type. Ask us how this fits the way your payroll runs.
What happens when I change a policy?
A policy is edited in one place, and the change applies everywhere it is used. A policy you stop offering keeps
applying where it is already assigned, and a policy still in use cannot be deleted, so nobody’s rules disappear by
accident.
