Meal Penalties Whenever the hours you enter result in the calculation of meal penalties, the penalties will be displayed in the grid to the right of the MagicPay grid. To pay them, click the Pay Meals button above and to the left of the grid. Clicking on the AM Penalties and PM Penalties links will display a grid showing the applicable rates for meal penalties; you can edit the rates here. Click on the Worksheet button to return to your most recently displayed time card after visiting this grid. Calling Grace: While the program will always calculate meal penalties, you have the option of telling the program whether or not to pay them. If you want to override what is displayed in the MP column (the red number), just change the number displayed in the Units column (the blue number) and click the Pay Meals button again. This will re-calculate the meal penalty amount. If no penalty is to be paid, type “-” in the Units column. The amount displayed in the Total Meals column is what will be displayed on the time card and added to the Non-Pensionable Total line located to the left and below the meal penalty grid. Use the Notes field located below the weekly hours calendar to keep track of the days when grace was called. Note the Hourly vs. Meals checkbox to the left of the Meal Penalties grid. Checking this box will cancel payment of any calculated meal penalties. Instead, payment of an amount equal to the Money Break divided by the number of hours included in the players’ contract pay rate will be calculated. So, instead of one meal penalty of $25.00, a day player with a Money Break of $1,474.00 would be paid $184.25 if this box were checked. Exercise caution in using this feature. Forced Call The Forced Call grid is located to the right of the Overtime grid. You may change the blue number in the Rest Period Hours field, but not the red numbers calculated by the program. In the picture, the cast member began a days’ work after a break of only 10.25 hours after the prior work day ended, so a forced call of 1.75 hours has been assessed. The amount payable will be displayed in the MagicPay grid, on the Force Call line. November 10, 2006 - 14 -
Per Diems Per Diem account numbers and amounts are entered into the grid displayed at the lower right of the Worksheet. You can enter separate taxable and non-taxable per diems. Use the AutoPay Advance Per Diem checkbox to pay equal and opposite amounts of taxable and non-taxable per diems. You must enter the per diems into the MagicPay grid manually when split coding a time card that contains night premiums. Click in the lockbox at the end of the row to insure that these entries are not lost during any subsequent recalculations of the time cards. Note the Override Autopay Hold/Travel/etc. Days checkbox. If it’s checked, hold and travel days are not counted as days worked; the default (unchecked) insures that these calculate as days worked. Agency Fees Agency Fees can be dealt with in one of two ways: 1) The first way is to enter the percentage, such as “.1” (10 Percent), in the Agency % field and enter an account number in the field below it. The result of the calculation will be included in the Pensionable Total line displayed on the time card. 2) The second way is to include the agency fee in the pay rate itself. To do this, enter a percentage, such as “.1” (10 Percent), in the Agency % field and then click the Adjust Rate link directly below it. This will automatically add 10% to the contract amount displayed in the Contract Tracker. If the Contract field is empty, then 10% will be calculated on the number displayed in the Rate field. The Hide Agency Fee checkbox will automatically be checked to suppress display of the agency fees on the time card. You may wish to consider using the “No Agency” time card, which does not display an agency fee. To view and print this time card, first click the <strong>Time</strong> Card button on the upper navigation bar; the No Agency time card button which will be displayed. Click on it.
