Configuring Time and Labor for Integration with Global Payroll

This section discusses how to:

  • Configure Time and Labor.

  • Configure Human Resources.

Configuring Time and Labor

Decide on a strategy for mapping time reporting codes to earnings elements. Consider the following options:

  • Define one earnings element that accumulates to gross.

    This is the earnings element the payroll process uses to calculate a payee's pay slip. Do not map this element to a TRC.

  • Define a second earnings element that does not contribute to gross pay.

    This earnings element is used for costing purposes only and, in addition to the payee's salary, can include overhead costs or any other costs (such as an employer-paid health insurance premium). You map this element to a TRC so that accurate cost data can be sent back to Time and Labor and made available to cost accounting, planning, or budgeting applications.

    Time from Time and Labor can be reported in hours, units or amounts, based on TRC type. When mapping TRCs to earnings elements, consider how the TRC type corresponds to the calculation rule defined for the element.

To set up Time and Labor:

  1. For each type of payable time to send to Global Payroll, map the TRC to the appropriate earnings, deduction, or absence Take element defined in Global Payroll.

    Use the TRC 1 page to map TRCs to elements. The system selects the Send to Payroll option on the TRC Setup page when you map a TRC to an element.

  2. Select the desired distribution options for Global Payroll on the Pay System page.

    By default, Labor Distribution is selected and Labor Dilution is not. The Labor Distribution option enables Global Payroll to send costs generated by a pay run back to Time and Labor so that Time and Labor can distribute the costs across the original payable time entries. The dilution feature is an extension of the distribution process. It enables Time and Labor to evenly distribute payroll costs across payable time.

  3. On the Create Time Reporter Data page or the Maintain Time Reporter Data page, select the Send Time to Payroll option for each time reporter.

Configuring Human Resources

To set up PeopleSoft Human Resources:

  1. For each time reporter, verify that the Payroll System field on the Payroll page is set to Global Payroll.

  2. Repeat step 1 for non-employees if you want to send their payable time to the payroll system.
