How Time Categories Work in a Time Rules

When you create time rules, you select the time category that identifies which time entries to use in validations, calculations, and submissions. Here are examples of what the time category identifies:

  • The end and start entries to compare with the defined rest period
  • The entries to compare with the person's total scheduled hours
  • The entries to allocate across the specified cost segments
  • The entries to use when dividing reported daily or period time by the specified threshold value to calculate regular and overtime hours
  • The entries that cause the rule that automatically saves or submits the time card to run
