Time Entry Owner and Internal Source in Calculation Rules

When you create time calculation rules, you can specify whether the calculated time should keep the owner and internal source from the reported time.

For example, a person badges in at the start of the work day. Then they badge out 2 hours later than their schedule has them stopping for the day. Here's what the associated calculation rules do:

• A rule reduces the regular time to account for the standard 1 hour, unpaid meal break. Another rule converts the remaining 2 hours of regular time to overtime. Both rule configurations keep the original source, even though the rules are calculating the entries from the reported time.
• Yet another rule adds 1 hour of premium time. This rule configuration overwrites the original source to show that the entry is a calculation result.

Type of Time	Start Time	End Time	Quantity	Payroll Time Type	Internal Source
Reported	8:00a	7:00p	11h	Regular	TCD
Calculated	8:00a	5:00p	8h	Regular	TCD
	5:00p	7:00p	2h	Overtime	TCD
	NA		1h	Premium	Calculated entry

To keep or change the owner and internal source, the selected calculation rule template needs these attributes configured in the relevant output groups. You can't add these attributes to calculation rule templates already in use, but here's what you can do:

1. Check your existing rule to see what template it was created with.
2. Duplicate the original template.
3. On the Outputs page of the new template, add the Owner, Internal Source, or both attributes as user-defined rows in the relevant output groups.
4. Create the rule again, this time using the new template and specifying whether to change or keep the appropriate output.
