Overview of Implementing Time and Labor

You can address simple to complex time reporting for permanent and contingent employees using this rule-based time management application.

• Individuals can report time using time cards, calendar, and web clock. They can also use third-party time collection devices, such as badge and biometric readers.
• Line managers can report, review, and submit time cards for their people, including delegates.
• Time and labor managers can report, review, and submit time for their people using time cards and processes that generate mass time.

For web clock and third-party devices, the import process validates event-related time data and creates or completes time entries. Time and labor managers resolve any badge and time entry exceptions identified during this validation.

When anyone saves or submits a time card, time entry rules run to validate reported time. Managers resolve any time entry exceptions identified during this validation. Next, calculation rules run using the time data validated by the time entry rules. Then, time consumer validation runs for the relevant calculated time data. Finally, time consumer administrators transfer time data for further processing, such as payroll and project costing. Here's a summary of this flow.

Time and Labor Task Lists

You access Time and Labor setup tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The tasks are part of the Workforce Deployment offering, Time, and Labor functional area.

If you already implemented Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, required for Time and Labor processing, you've completed many prerequisite tasks. If you pay worked time according to time card entries, you need to complete tasks in the Elements and Formulas functional area too. The Implementing Global Human Resources guide explains these tasks.

You need to show all Time and Labor setup tasks to complete these configurations:

• Time entry
• Time processing
• File processing for time collection devices
