Time Categories
A time category has conditions that the time entry must meet to be included. A category can include only hours-based, days-based, units-based time entries, or a combination.
For example, the delivered All Payroll Entries time category includes all time entries with Payroll Time Type attribute values, regardless of their units of measure. You create categories using the Time Categories task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. It's part of the Workforce Deployment Offering, Time and Labor functional area.
You can configure a single condition, compound conditions, or both. Here are some examples:
- A units-based category includes any time entry with the Payroll Time Type attribute value Meals Taken.
- An hours-based category includes any time entry with these specific Payroll Time Type attribute values: Regular US or Training US or Travel US.
- A days-based category includes any time entry with the Absence Management Type attribute values measured in days, such as Vacation Days, and not those measured in hours.
You can include other time categories in a category as long as they've the same unit of measure. Here's an example:
- The hours-based Statutory Time for OT category identifies entries with these specific Payroll Time Type attribute values: Regular US or Training US or Travel US.
- The hours-based Union Time for OT category includes the Statutory Time for OT category. It also has another OR condition that identifies entries with the Payroll Time Type attribute value Jury Duty US.
