Understanding Self-Service Components

The self-service components enable employees to review, add, update, and delete (where appropriate) their time and labor information. Self-service components include:

  • Time and Labor Launch Pad for employees (TL_LAUNCH_PAD_PNLG).

    Enables employees to view information about reported and scheduled time for a month at a time. It also enables employees to navigate to self-service transaction pages.

  • Time Sheet (TL_MSS_EE_SRCH_PRD).

    Enables employees to view and report time and task details for a day, week, or time period for punch and elapsed time.

    Note: Pages of this feature have been replaced by equivalent pages in Fluid. For more information, see Using PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface for Time Reporting as an Employee.

  • Mass Time for employees (TL_MASS_TIME_ESS).

    Enables employees to report time in several ways. They can report time according to their schedule for a specified date or date range. They can also specify a lump sum amount to be distributed according to their schedule, or specify multiple time transactions to be applied to each day in the time period.

  • Overtime Requests (TL_OT_HISTORY_LIST).

    Enables employees to view recent overtime requests or submit a new overtime request.

  • Web Clock (TL_WEBCLK_ESS).

    Enables employees to enter a single punch and provide time and task details.

  • Monthly Schedule (SCH_EE_SCHEDULE).

    Enables employees to display monthly schedules.

  • Compensatory Time (TL_COMPTIME_PNL).

    Enables employees to view compensatory time balance and compensatory time expiration information.

  • Exceptions (TL_MNG_EX_PNL_GRP3).

    Enables employees to display exceptions associated with reported time.

  • Payable Time Summary (TL_TM_MPAY_SUMM_PG).

    Enables employees to view payable time that the system calculated from a schedule or reported time.

  • Payable Time Detail (TL_MNG_PAY_VIEW_DT).

    Enables employees to view details about their payable time.

  • Forecasted Time Summary (TL_TM_SPAY_SUMM_PG).

    Enables employees to view a forecasted summary of the payable time for a future or current period. This payable time is calculated based on the employee's schedule or time reported for a specified date.

  • Forecasted Time Detail (TL_MNG_SPAY_VIEW_D).

    Enables employees to view details about forecasted payable time.

  • User Preferences (TL_USER_PREF).

    Enables employees to view or update their time reporting and scheduling preferences.

Roles

The self-service components can be used by both the employee and the manager; therefore, we deliver definitions for these roles and define a menu for each role.

Note: In this section, we use the term employee to refer to all people who work for and report time in the organization. This can include regular employees as well as contractors and other temporary workers.
