Conversion to Time Calculations
The DCI system auto-converts dollar and/or unit authorizations into time when the remaining balance setting on the service code is enabled.
Conversion to time is based on funding type, billing unit, and billing multiplier.
These fields are located on the service code. To find your service code, click on Settings on the main menu, Funding Sources on the submenu, search and select your funding source, select your service code on the service codes tab, and view the service code details widget.
The following service code setting combination examples in DCI are conversions to time from units and/or dollars.
Scenario 1:
Funding Type = Units
Billing Unit = Hourly
Billing Multiplier = Hourly
Process:
Available Balance = Hours as a decimal
Value to the left of the decimal = Hours
(Value to the right of the decimal) x (60) = Minutes
If minutes are a decimal, always truncate (round down).
Example:
Available Balance = 34.24
Hours = 34
Minutes = 14.4
Final Display = 34 hours, 14 minutes
Scenario 2:
Funding Type = Units
Billing Unit = Hourly
Billing Multiplier = Half Hourly
Process:
(Available Balance) / (2) = Hours as a decimal
Value to the left of the decimal = Hours
(Value to the right of the decimal) x (60) = Minutes
If minutes are a decimal, always truncate (round down).
Example:
Available Balance = 445.62
Hours as decimal = 222.81
Hours = 222
Minutes = 48.6
Final Display = 222 hours, 48 minutes
Scenario 3:
Funding Type = Units
Billing Unit = Hourly
Billing Multiplier = Quarter Hourly
Process:
(Available Balance) / (4) = Hours as a decimal
Value to the left of the decimal = Hours
(Value to the right of the decimal) x (60) = Minutes
If minutes are a decimal, always truncate (round down).
Example:
Available Balance = 878.67
Hours as decimal = 219.67
Hours = 219
Minutes = 40.2
Final Display = 219 hours, 40 minutes
Scenario 4:
Funding Type = Units
Billing Unit = Daily
Billing Multiplier = N/A
Process:
Available Balance = Days
Example:
Available Balance = 13
Final Display = 13 days
Scenario 5:
Funding Type = Units
Billing Unit = Monthly
Billing Multiplier = N/A
Process:
Balance = Months
Example:
Available Balance = 5
Final Display = 5 months
Scenario 6:
Funding Type = Dollars
Billing Unit = Dollar
Billing Multiplier = N/A
*Please note: For dollars-based service codes, the remaining balances are estimates as they can be impacted by several factors such as overtime, changes in employee pay rates, or having multiple employees with different pay rates working for the same client.
Process:
(Available Balance) / (Pay Rate) x (1+Burden Multiplier) = Hours as a decimal
Pay Rate = Current active pay rate listed on the employee service account in the account details widget
If overlapping pay rates are enabled on the employee service account, the system uses the rate the employee selected at the time of the clock in for the punch entry to calculate the balance in time.
Burden Multiplier = Listed on the employee service account in the account details widget
Value to the left of the decimal = Hours
(Value to the right of the decimal) x (60) = Minutes
If minutes are a decimal, always truncate (round down).
Example:
Available Balance = 546.23
Pay Rate = 13.25
Burden Multiplier = 0.1
Hours as decimal = 37.48
Hours = 37
Minutes = 28
Final Display = 37 hours, 28 minutes
