For example, suppose an employee's task profile specifies that time should be allocated 50 percent to one task and 50 percent to another, then you would see two rows for the same date and TRC. You can view the details of how the time is allocated on the Payable Time Details page.

Forecasted Time Summary page

The Forecast Payable Time feature enables you to estimate what your payable time is either for the current period or for some time period in the future. It uses reported time, scheduled time, or both to calculate what the payable time is for a specified time period. For example, if you are a manager in a retail store where schedules change constantly, you are probably concerned about the number of employees who work overtime. You may want to estimate payable time for the current period and review which employees are approaching overtime limits. By using the Forecast Payable Time feature, the system looks at how many hours your employees have reported so far in the period, and also what their remaining scheduled hours are. The Forecast Payable page shows you what their estimated payable time will be and, from there, you will know if any of your employees are approaching overtime.

Payable time is forecasted in two ways:

  • Forecast time for a month or for a specific date using the Time and Labor Launch Pad.

  • Forecast time for a period using the Time Administration Run Control.

Note: Forecasted Payable Time is not actual Payable Time. To generate Payable Time, you must use the normal processes for creating payable time.

The Forecasted Time Summary page displays one week's estimated payable time. The system allocates time based on the TRC, and displays the total quantity of hours for each TRC to which time was reported or generated by the rules process within the date range specified.
