  1. Select the Hour Type from the dropdown menu.

  2. To show employees their benefit balance, click the checkbox.

  3. Enter the External Hour Type code.

  • The external hour type code can be any internal code used to identify the earning type, but it must match the one used in your import file. The codes are case sensitive.

Note: Each external hour type must be unique. If two or more hour benefit types have the same external hour type, your import will fail.

  1. Click Save.
