About Implementing Time Validations, Calculations, and Processing in Time and Labor

This playbook covers how to implement time validations, calculations, and processing for Global Payroll, Absence Management, and Project Costing time consumers.

Here's a summary of the workflow affected by this implementation:

  1. Time entry rules that validate reported time run when people save time cards and submit them.
  2. Managers resolve any time entry exceptions identified during this validation.
  3. Calculation rules run using the time data validated by the time entry rules.
  4. Time consumer validation runs for the relevant calculated time data.
  5. Time consumer administrators transfer time data for further processing, such as payroll and project costing.

    Retroactive changes to people's data can require recalculation and transfer of time card data. Examples of retroactive changes are changes to the payroll relationship or overtime period.

Other playbooks cover these Time and Labor implementation tasks:

  • Implementing time cards
  • Reporting worked time, breaks, and meals with Web Clock and validating device events using geofences
  • Reporting worked time, breaks, and meals using time collection devices, such as badge and biometric readers
  • Submitting time entry change requests when workers aren't allowed to edit their time cards directly
