Taskgroups and Workgroups

A taskgroup represents a group of time reporters with similar time and task reporting requirements. Taskgroups identify the default time reporting template, task template , and task profiles that are valid for members of the taskgroup. The task template that you link to the taskgroup determines which task profiles you can attach.

A workgroup is a group of time reporters who share identical compensation requirements. For example, a workgroup can include all time reporters:

• In the same business enterprise.

• At the same work site location.

• In the same type of job assignment.

Each time reporter who reports time through PeopleSoft Time and Labor must belong to a workgroup. In addition, the Time Administration process applies rules by workgroup. A workgroup must be created before any process that uses it.
