New Feature

Datatech Software now has the ability to include “other” non-productive time while entering piecework payroll. “Other” non-productive time includes employer-controlled activities such as,

  • waiting for equipment, 
  • scanning badges, 
  • moving between fields, 
  • or any time they are under the employers control where they are not able to be productive. 

These entries can now be recorded alongside piecework and rest & recovery time in a single workflow. This simplifies California piece-rate payroll processing while helping support compliance with state pay requirements.

We covered this new feature in our recent webinar: Payroll Compliance Checkup. (Starting at 18:27 min)

AB 1513

“Other non-productive time” is any time they are under the employers control, exclusive of rest and recovery periods, that is not directly related to the activity being compensated on a piece-rate basis.
