How Time and Labor Creates Payable Time

Each incident of time that is reported in Time and Labor is associated with a time reporting code (TRC) that identifies its type (for example, regular or meeting), units, currency, and other attributes. You can also assign task codes to each time entry, enabling your organization to track time at a finer level of detail—by product, location, and other categories. In addition, you can track the accounting information that flows between Time and Labor and Global Payroll. Integrating Time and Labor with Global Payroll requires that you map earning, deduction, and absence take elements to TRCs. You might also need to map supporting elements or variable task codes, and chartfields.

Time that is reported in Time and Labor must be converted to payable time before it can be sent to a payroll system for processing. The payable time must also have a payable status to indicate that it is ready for processing. The Time Administration process in Time and Labor creates payable time that's ready for payroll processing by applying a set of user-defined rules to time entries based on their TRCs. It can apply rules for overtime, holiday pay, guaranteed hours, consecutive days, and other situations.
