How Do I Define Time Card Elements

To process pay based on time card entries, use nonrecurring elements, such as elements for regular, overtime, double-time, and shift pay.

When you create a time card element, the template generates all the necessary components, such as indirect elements, balances, formulas, and calculation components.

To define these elements:

  1. Start the Elements task.

  2. Click Create.

  3. Select your US legislative data group.

  4. Select your primary and secondary classification.

    The following classifications are available for time cards.

    Primary classification

    Secondary classification

    Imputed Earnings

    All

    Nonpayroll Payment

    All

    Standard Earnings

    All

    Supplemental Earnings

    All

  5. Select the Time Card category.

  6. Complete the Basic Details info.

  7. For Additional Details, do the following.

    1. Select the calculation units to use in reports.

      Typically, you select time units that match the time units entered on time cards for that element. If you select different units, the element's formula uses 8 hours to convert days to hours.

    2. Select a conversion rule, if required.

      For further info, see Rate Conversion Rules for the US in the Help Center.

    3. Optionally, select a default rate to calculate the pay rate for this element.

      When calculating the run result for the element entry, the formula uses the default rate unless you enter an override rate on the element.

  8. Complete your element definition, and click Submit.

  9. Complete the element eligibility info for:

    • The new time element

    • Its associated retroactive and indirect elements, such as the result and calculation elements

  10. To use this element for tagging purposes, run the Oracle Fusion Time and Labor Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes process.

    You must have Time and Labor privileges to run this process.

The element is now available for use.

Note:

To report standard overtime separately from premium overtime, create two elements, such as overtime and overtime premium elements. If you're reporting them together, create a single overtime element that includes the straight and premium pay for all overtime hours and then modify its fast formula.

For further info, see the Implementing Time and Labor and Using Time and Labor documents in the Help Center.
