The Paid Hours feature allows payroll hours to be entered manually in the system. If you record mechanic paid hours, the RTA system can provide a report showing the ratio between actual hours worked and paid hours. This "efficiency" ratio should correlate to the indirect vs. direct hours as well.

Paid Hours Entry

To record the paid hours, do the following:

1. Select WOs > Paid Hours Entry from the RTA main menu (WH).
2. Enter password level 1.
3. Enter an employee number or abbreviation, press F1 to select an employee from the lookup list, or press F2 to start with the first employee on file.
4. Enter the paid hours for the week, month, and last month as needed. The numbers entered here will replace the current values shown.
5. Choose OK to accept the entry. Choose Get Next to accept the entry and bring up the next employee on file.

NOTE: Paid hours figures are not affected nor are they updated by the data processed in RTA, including end of period processes for mechanics.

Paid Hours Reports

Paid Hours

The following paid hours reports are available. The format for each report is identical, only the data varies.

• Current Week Productivity (REP)

• Last Month Productivity (REO)

To print a Paid Hours report, do the following:

1. Select Reports > Mechanic > Hours Paid This Week OR Reports > Mechanic > Hours Paid This Month OR Reports > Mechanic > Hours Paid Last Month from the RTA main menu (REH, REU, REL).

3. Select a radio button to specify whether to sort the output by mechanic number or abbreviation.
4. Depending on your selection, enter either the starting and ending mechanic numbers or abbreviations.

Paid Hours Vs. Indirect Hours

The Paid Vs. Indirect Hours report shows the difference between paid hours and indirect hours, giving the calculated worked hours (this number does not come from labor entries posted to work orders). A ratio for worked hours vs. paid hours is also provided.

1. Select Reports > Mechanic > Paid Vs. Indirect from the RTA main menu (REV).
2. Enter password level 1.
3. Select a radio button to specify whether to sort the output by mechanic number or abbreviation.
