Create Time Categories for Overtime Calculations

You need to include certain payroll time in overtime calculation rules to be compliant with statutory rules. You need to use these same entries, plus another entry in overtime calculation rules to be compliant with a union contract.

You create two time categories that identify the appropriate entries. Use the Time Categories task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The task is part of the Workforce Deployment offering, Time and Labor functional area.
