Set Up Overrides

You can override the default value or formula for a specific group of employees identified by an element eligibility record. Override the default value for specific employees on their element entries.

Set Up Area Overrides

Some countries or territories create time card elements with area input values for use as overrides. The overrides enable employers to tax employees based on where they work. For example, employees specify the area information where they worked on temporary assignment while away from their normal work location. These area entries are then included in the time card records transferred to payroll by the Load Time Card Batches process.

Set Up Costing Overrides

You can specify additional attributes in Time and Labor to enter costing segment values on time cards. The segments must match the segments that you can enter on element entries. Use the Element Entries task to search a person's record. View the available segments on the Costing tab of the Person Details page. Costing is defined on the element eligibility record of the results element. When you transfer time entries, the transfer process displays the costing on the calculation element.

As an example, the structure of your cost allocation key flexfield might specify that the department segment is entered at the element entry level. You could specify this additional attribute on the time card. Your employees can then specify the department to charge for overtime hours worked while on loan to a different department. After you transfer the time entries, the payroll calculation uses the department specified for the overtime hours to derive the costing results.
