Create a Nonunified Payroll Layout Set That Includes Absence and Override Fields

You want to configure how people report, change, submit, and approve payroll and absence time. You also want to let managers include time attributes as part of shift details.

Before you start

Before you create the layout set, you need to complete these tasks:

1. Create the Meals Taken element and calculation components. Use the Elements task in the Elements and Formula functional area.
2. Generate the absence management and payroll time attributes in the data dictionary. Use the Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes task.
3. Create the AbsencePayrollTime multiattribute field with the dependent meal, department, state, county, and city fields. Use the Time Entry Layout Components task.
4. Create the Statutory Time for OT, Overtime, and Meals Taken US time categories. Use the Time Categories task.

The tasks are in the Setup and Maintenance work area, Workforce Deployment offering. They're part of Time and Labor functional area unless otherwise specified. The examples in the Related Links section at the end of this topic tell you how to create the element and dependent fields.
