Overview of Using Time and Labor

You can report, manage, and process time using Time and Labor. You can also transfer time data to global payroll, project costing, and external applications. This workflow summarizes the cycle of the main Time and Labor tasks.

Schedule, Report, Adjust, and Approve Time

If you're in charge of schedules for your organization, you can plan and publish workforce management (WFM) schedules. These schedules consist of shifts, public holidays, approved absences, and other events. Managers and their people report and adjust time. And, the managers approve time.

Transfer Time

Payroll administrators transfer payroll time data to Global Payroll for processing and payment. Project costing administrators transfer project time data to Project Costing for processing and billing.

You can troubleshoot any issues that arise with time transfer processes by reviewing incomplete transfer processes and resolving transfer failures.

Maintain Configurations

You can analyze time processing information, such as validations and calculations, and adjust time configurations as needed.

You maintain your time configurations to support policy changes, after the initial implementation. For example, you can change the look of time cards for a specific group of people. For information about maintaining your configurations, see the Implementing Time and Labor guide.
