Bus/Financial - Accounting / Posting of work hours | | Portuguese term or phrase: Comessa | I am trying to translate PT-EN a text automatically translated from Italian, containing the word Comessa, which the translator could not handle. Here is the text:
"As horas trabalhadas a COMESSA são lançadas no TIME CARD WW e registradas no SAP sobre índices estatísticos (horas Time Card), através da interface “Timecard-SAP” para a distribuição dos custos dos centros de custo através alocações por destinação".
Comessa = callback, but that does not make sense. |

| | occasional/irregular overtime work | Explanation:
I think the term "callback" makes sense in your context. Please, read below.
Call-back overtime (HHS Instruction 550-1 dated 6/12/96) occurs when employees are required to work after leaving the work site or perform overtime work on a day, or time, for which they are not scheduled to work. A minimum of 2 hours overtime is credited, even though the employee may perform no work after returning to the work site. It is possible to have several call backs in a 24-hour period. Overtime is computed at one and a half times base pay. "Call back" does not require the employee to physically return to the work site, merely to return to work status.
Because call back work is irregular/occasional overtime work, compensatory time off may be substituted for pay at the employee's request. The employee receives a minimum of 2 hours compensatory time per call back. The employee may be called back to perform overtime if it is in lieu of regular overtime.
