Overview
Display label: Enable Teacher costs management for the following working types
Setting ID: Teacher_Payment_Management_Per_Work_Type
Location: Main Settings > General Settings > HR Management, in the Teacher Costs Management group.
What This Setting Does
This setting opens a configuration screen where the institution can set, for each Work Type (such as a teaching session, exam invigilation, exam marking, or office work), a default cost and how many minutes count as one payable hour for that specific type of work. Any value set here for a Work Type overrides the general minutes-per-hour setting for that Work Type only.
Where It Is Used
- Main Settings > General Settings > HR Management > Teacher Costs Management group, where clicking this setting opens its own configuration screen listing all Work Types.
- The values configured here are used automatically whenever payable hours are calculated from the Manage Teacher Payable Hours screen (Teacher > Teachers list).
Business Logic / Behavior
- Each Work Type can have its own minutes-per-hour value configured here. When it is set, the payable hours calculation uses it instead of the general Calculate working hours for teaching by dividing payments working minutes by setting for that Work Type.
- Work Types left unconfigured here fall back to the general minutes-per-hour setting.
- This configuration can be copied from one company to one or more other companies, keeping the same per-Work-Type minute values while matching each Work Type to its equivalent in the destination company.
Examples
Alpha Institute uses a general rule of 60 minutes for one payable hour, but configures exam marking here at 45 minutes for one payable unit. When _Teacher_ Ana T. spends 180 minutes marking exam papers, she is credited 4 payable units for exam marking instead of the 3 the 60-minute default would have produced.
Beta College leaves teaching sessions unconfigured in this list, so those sessions keep using the general 60-minute rule, while office work is configured here at 30 minutes per unit to reflect shorter administrative tasks.
When to Use
This is a configuration list rather than an on/off switch. Use it whenever one or more Work Types need a payable-hour conversion different from the institution’s general rule.
