Managing Time

This chapter provides an overview of managing time reporting and discusses how to:

• Approve reported time.

• Approve payable time.

• Manage exceptions.

• Adjust time.

• Audit time.

• Override rules for a day.

Understanding the Time Reporting Process

After time has been reported, time is managed through approving the time, resolving exceptions, modifying the time, or adjusting time that has been reported or paid.

Depending on your requirements, there are four different options that can be set up when configuring time approvals:

• Reported time.

• Payable time.

• Both reported and payable time.

• None.

You can also set up email notifications for particular events. For managers, these include reported time needing approval, payable time needing approval, exceptions that have been generated, or a scheduled event that has been modified. For employees, these include reported time which has been approved, payable time which has been approved, reported time which has been denied, or reported time which has been modified.

You can use system security to determine which pages display for different types of users. For example, you may want a data entry clerk to only view reported or payable time. The User ID for the data entry clerk determines which page appears. In this case, the user can only view the time without making changes. Or, you may want a user to be able to adjust time that has already been paid, but not approve the time. Again, the User ID determines which page appears; in this case, the Adjust page is accessible.

This graphic depicts the interaction between time reporting, scheduling, the time manager, and other common areas within the application with the Manage Time pages:

Approving Reported Time

This section provides an overview of approving reported time and discusses how to:

• Approve the reported time for a group of employees.

• Approve the reported time for a selected employee

• Approve a time reporter's individual reported time incidences.

Understanding Approval of Reported Time

The requirement to approve reported time is controlled by users; there is no formal automatic approval process.

You have the ability to require approval of reported time, once it has been submitted, by selecting the Approve Reported Time option on the Workgroup or TRC definition. If specified for a workgroup, all reported time for employees in that workgroup need approval. If specified at the TRC level, only reported time associated to the TRC needs approval.

Reported time that requires approval, regardless of its' source, must be approved by the time reporter’s manager before it will be picked up and processed by Time Administration and payable time generated. Time that has been submitted, either through interfaces or online, is available for manager approval. The manager can either approve, adjust or deny the time and add additional comments where necessary. .

If approved, the time is given a status of Approved and is ready to be selected by the Time Administration and payable time generated.

If reported time is denied, the reported time is given a status of Denied and will not be picked up and processed by Time Administration . The time will remain in a status of Denied until the time is either modified and resubmitted, or the manager decides to go ahead and approve the time.

Email notifications can be configured for both the manager and employee for certain time reporting events. The manager can be notified when there is reported time that needs approving, and the employee notified when their reported time has been approved, denied or modified. This is set up on the Time and Labor Installation page, on the Email Notification tab.

Pages Used to Approve Reported Time

Approving Reported Time

Access the Approve Reported Time Summary page.

The Approve Reported Time Summary page is the initial interface for managers approving or denying time for their employees. This page provides managers with the following functionality:

• A list of employees needing approval for reported time.

• Summary information about their employee’s reported hours that need approval, based on the date range specified.

• Summary totals for each employee indicating hours needing approval, total reported hours, total scheduled hours, hours that have already been approved, and hours that have been denied.

• Summary totals of time reported to TRC Categories defined by the customer.

• Details of time that has been submitted by the employee versus time that is still in a saved, not submitted, status.

• Access to approve or deny time for an individual or group of employees.

• Access an employee’s timesheet where a manager can view or edit details about the time reported.

• Ability to scroll from one day or week to the next to review if there are employees needing time approved.

• Ability to filter on employees with exceptions.

• Employee details such as Job Description, Department, Workgroup, or other fields specified on the manager search options page.

• Ability to navigate quickly to and from the Approve Reported Time Summary page and the Timesheet Summary page.

The Approve Reported Time Summary page includes the following fields:

Approving Reported Time

Access the Timesheet page.

Before entering the Reported Time (Timesheet) page, a manager can refine their search including groups, employee ids, or many other criteria, or simply return all the employees for whom they have approval authority and who have time that is needing approval. Once the manager enters the search criteria and clicks the Get Employees button, the result list displays below the Employee Search Criteria fields. The manager can then select an employee to enter the Reported Time Timesheet page.

On this page the manager can adjust a time reporter's entries, select some or all incidences of time needing approval and click either the Approve Selected or Deny Selected buttons, to approve or deny the reported time. Comments can be entered for any of the reported time entries by clicking the Comment icon in the Reported Time Status grid. The manager can also navigate to previous or next employee by clicking on the Previous Employee or Next Employee buttons.

Time that has no errors after being validated is set to Needs Approval. If the user is reporting more time or modifying time for an existing row that has already been processed, and has a status of Approved, then the whole day (or row) is again set to a status of Needs Approval.

After clicking the Approve Selected or Deny Selected buttons, the manager is transferred to a confirmation page. To return to the Timesheet page click the OK or CANCEL button.

Reported Time that does not need approval is set to a status of Submitted.

Understanding Payable Time

Approving Payable Time

This section provides an overview of approving payable time and discusses how to:

• Approve the payable time for selected employees.

• Approve a time reporter's individual time incidences.

• Approve time for a group of employees during a batch process.

Understanding Approval of Payable Time

The requirement to approve payable time is controlled by users; there is no formal automatic approval process. Approval of payable time is required only if:

• The Approve Payable Time check box is selected on the employee’s workgroup setup page.

• And/or for a specific TRC, if the TRC Approval option field is set to Payable Time or Reported and Payable Time on the TRC set up page.

• Or the Time and Labor indicator on the Job record indicates that the employee’s time does not go to a payroll system.

• Or the user has written a rule that identifies the employee’s payable time as time that must be approved.

You can view and approve payable time on the Approve Payable Time – Approve Time for Time Reporters or the Approve Payable Time pages. The Approve Payable Time – Approve Time for Time Reporter page displays all time reporters dependant on entries specified in the Employee Selection Criteria and date range fields and who have time with a Payable Status of Needs Approval. The Approve Payable Time page displays time entries for an individual time reporter.

Approving Time for Non-Employees

Time and Labor normally finalizes time when it is sent to payroll. However, if time is not being sent to payroll for processing, such as in the case of non-employees, Time and Labor must finalize the time by approving it. This is important when sending costs to PeopleSoft Projects. To finalize the time for your non-employees (whose time is not being sent to payroll) you will need to clear the Send Time to Payroll check box on the Maintain TR Data page, which indicates to the system that the time needs approval. When time is approved either online or during batch processing, the system closes the time and it can be sent to Projects.

Pages Used to Approve Time

Approving Payable Time

Access the Approve Payable Time - Approve Time for Time Reporters page.

Note. Time must be processed through Time Administration and have a payable status of Needs Approval.

The Approve Payable Time – Approve Time for Time Reporter page offers a manager the capability to refine their search including groups, employee ids, a certain date range, or many other criteria, or simply to return all the employees for whom they have approval authority and who have Payable time that needs approval. Once the manager enters the search criteria and clicks the Get Employees button, the result list displays below the Employee Search Criteria and Date fields. The manager can then select one or more employee and click on the Approve button to approve the payable time. Alternatively, the manager can click on the employee’s name to view and approve each employee’s payable time entries.

The Approve Payable Time page is accessible from the Adjust Reported Time, Approve Payable Time – Approve Time for Time Reporters, and View Payable Time pages. For a description of the elements on the Approve Payable Time page, see Adjusting Time, Viewing Time Reporter's Payable Time in this section.

Approving Payable Time Details

Access the Approve Payable Time page.

You can approve time from each row by selecting the Select check box. The system displays all data for the payable time in the appropriate field. If no data exists for the field, it is blank.

Click the tab links to view further details about the time that needs approval. Click the Time Reporting Elements tab to view time reporting elements information. Click the Task Reporting Elements tab to view task reporting elements information.

Adjusting Reported Time

Access the Adjust Reported Time page.

This page is the same as the Timesheet page with the exception of the Previous Employee link and Next Employee link. The Previous or Next Employee links do not display. In order to navigate to the next time reporter, click on the “Return to Approval Details” link at the bottom of the Timesheet page, and then click on the Next Employee or Previous Employee buttons. When time is adjusted using the Timesheet page, the reported time will need to be re-submitted and the Time Admin process run again. This will turn the adjusted reported time into payable time that can then be approved.

For example, enter the Group ID for a group of employees, add a row, and enter the Employee ID of the employee whom you do not want to include in the approve time process. Then, select Exclude for that row. The system will not approve time for that employee, even though they belong to the group. Use the same procedure to add an employee to the group.

Managing Exceptions

This section presents an overview of managing exceptions and discusses how to:

• Manage exceptions.

• Filter exceptions on the Manage Exceptions page.

• View manage exception details.

• View exceptions that have been resolved or allowed.

Understanding Exceptions

Time Managers must resolve or allow exceptions for a time reporter’s time to become payable time when the exception severity is High. The reported time associated with the exception must be reviewed and the exception resolved or allowed for the system to process and generate payable time. The Time Manager’s role starts when something appears incorrect with a time reporter’s time. An exception is a condition that exists regarding reported time that requires review or attention. Exceptions are either standard exceptions delivered with the system or user-defined. Because each customer has a different idea of what requires their Time Manager’s attention, Time and Labor enables you to define your own exception criteria.

Exceptions are generated when time is reported and either an aspect of the time is incorrect, or the time does not comply with a user-defined rule. Exceptions may be system-generated through validation processes or generated as a result of Time Administration rules. Each exception has an associated severity level. Exceptions with a severity level ofHigh must be resolved or allowed, or the reported time associated with the exception will not become payable time. Use the Manage Exception component to specify which exceptions to allow for a specific time reporter, or a group of time reporters.

To resolve an exception, determine if an error exists with reported time or if there is an invalid value in a setup table. If the error is due to reported time (non-setup exception), correct the time on the Timesheet or Rapid entry pages, and then process the time again by submitting the time and/or running Time Administration. If the error is setup-related, you may need to change the reported time or change a value in one of the setup tables. To resolve the exception, you correct the time or setup value and then run Time Administration. For example, if time reporters report TRCs that are not in their TRC programs, you must either correct the reported time or add the TRC to their TRC programs.

If a High exception is not resolved or allowed, it remains in the Exceptions Table and the time does not become payable time. Exceptions with a severity level of Low or Medium will become payable time, but also remain in the Exceptions Table until the exception is resolved or allowed.

The Allow Exceptions functionality enables you to allow an exception to be processed and generate payable time without having to resolve it. This is useful for organizations that choose to have informational exceptions created. Consider, for example, exceptions that are created because a time reporter is approaching an overtime limit. A Time Manager could be notified that the time reporter is approaching their overtime limit; however, the Time Manager may want to allow this type of exception for peak season hours in the retail industry. When the peak season is over, they may want to be notified of this exception and resolve it in the off season.

PeopleSoft also provides a status indicator for the exception. This Exception Status can help you work with the exceptions. Possible exception statuses are Unresolved, Resolved, Allowed, and Changed. When an exception is created, the status of the exception is Unresolved. If you make a modification to time, the system checks the Exceptions Table to determine if the modification made occurred within the date range of a pre-existing exception. If there is a modification that occurred during the date range of an exception and the exception is not resolved, then Time Reporting modifies the status to Changed. When Time Validation and Time Administration run again, if the exception condition no longer exists, then the status changes to Resolved.

A Changed status may indicate that you should examine the time to validate that the exception should still be allowed. You may want to be notified that an exception you previously allowed has been changed that may affect that time. If you want to ignore that modification you can leave the exception and the selected allowed indicator remains. Or, you may want to review the time more closely.

View Exception History Information by using the Exception History page. The following conditions determine if the exception information appears on this page:

• If you set up an Exception ID with the Archive Exception check box cleared, (Don’t Archive), the exception will not appear if you Resolve the exception.

• If you set up an Exception ID with the Archive Exception check box cleared, (Don’t Archive), the exception will appear if you Allow the exception

• If you set up an Exception ID with the Archive Exception check box selected, (Archive), the exception appears when you either Resolve or Allow the exception.

Note. All exceptions delivered with the system have a Severity Level of High and are not allowable. Therefore, you must resolve delivered exceptions (unless you changed them in the Exception setup table so that they are allowable) for the system to create payable time for the time reporter in these instances.

See Defining Exceptions.

See Viewing Exceptions History.

Defining Exception Conditions

You can define all the conditions that should require a manager’s review when time is reported and before it becomes payable time. These can range from the obvious examples of someone missing a punch or someone punching in late, to the less obvious examples of someone working more than eight hours of overtime or someone being tardy ten times in the last month. You focus only on the elements of reported time that are important to your organization.

Validating Time and Creating Exceptions

Reported time entered through Time and Labor time entry pages is validated online (before Time Administration processing). Time that is reported by Rapid Time Session, Mass Time, GP Absence Entry, or a TCD Interface does not have online validation, and must go through a Submit Time process so that the system can create exceptions for invalid data. The Submit Time process initiates a Time Reporting Validation process, which generates exceptions for any invalid data that was a result of either time being reported or a problem with setup data. Any exceptions generated from this process are then displayed on the Manage Exceptions or Manage Group Exceptions pages.

On the Manage Exceptions pages, time managers review the exceptions and determine if reported time should be adjusted or if a setup table value must be added or changed to resolve the exception. An example of a setup-related exception is if time reporters report time using a new TRC, but that TRC has not yet been added to their TRC program. Because the TRC is not in the time reporters’ TRC program, an exception is generated stating "TRC not in the TRC Program." An exception stating "Task Profile not in Taskgroup" is an example of a non-setup or reported time exception that could occur if time reporters report task profiles that are not valid for their taskgroup. In addition to viewing exceptions on the Manage Exceptions page, time managers can also allow exceptions or, once the reported time for non-setup related exceptions have been adjusted, they can use the “Clean Up Exceptions” button to resolve the exceptions.

To resolve non-setup related exceptions, you can correct reported time using the Timesheet page. You can also allow the exceptions if you have previously defined the exception definition as allowable. All system-delivered exceptions are defined as High severity and are not allowable. Exceptions with a severity level of High do not generate payable time, and therefore must be resolved.

After you have resolved the issues by adjusting the reported time or setup values, you can run the Time Administration process. The Time Administration process will call the Resolution Exception process and clean up any exceptions that have been resolved and create payable time for that time. The Resolution Exception process examines the reported time where an exception exists, and changes the status of that time to Resolved if the exception is no longer valid. This process resolves any non-setup-related exceptions that were generated and have an Exception source of TVE (Time Validation Elapsed) or TVP (Time Validation Punch). Once the exceptions have been resolved, Time Administration then created payable time for that time. If you have made an adjustment to reported time and want to verify the exception has been fixed before running Time Administration, click on the “Clean Up Exceptions” button on the Manage Exceptions page. The Clean Up Exceptions button also calls the Resolution Exception process and will resolve any non-setup related exceptions where the time has been corrected. You will still need to run Time Administration to create payable time, but the Clean Up Exceptions button is a tool for you to verify that the adjustment you made to the reported time will actually resolve the exception. For example, a time reporter reports an invalid value in the Task Profile field, and then you correct the value on the Timesheet page. Rather than waiting until your Time Administration process runs again, if you want to verify that the correction you made to the Task Profile is the right one and will actually fix the exception, click the Clean Up Exceptions button on the Manage Exceptions. This will clean up and resolve the exception if the adjustment you made to the Task Profile is valid. Then when your Time Administration process runs again, it will create the appropriate payable time.

For setup-related exceptions that are generated by Time Administration and have an Exception source of TA, you may need to change reported time or change a setup value, or again, allow the exception. To clear these exceptions and create Payable Time, you should fix the problem and then run Time Administration. For example, if a time reporter reported time using a TRC that has not yet been added to the appropriate TRC program, you must add the new TRC to the TRC program and then run Time Administration to resolve the exception and create payable time. The Referential Integrity process runs and then initiates the validation process. Because the reported data is compared with the changed setup data, the validation process resolves this exception and payable time is created.

Note. Exceptions may be generated based on validation rules invoked by the Submit Time process, or by user-defined rules processed through Time Administration. However exceptions are generated, they must be either resolved or allowed if Time Administration is to process the related reported time into payable time. If you resolve the exception by adjusting reported time, you need to resubmit that (adjusted) reported time so that Time Validation runs again and removes the exception. You can either run the Time Administration process again for that time reporter, or using the Manage Exceptions page, click the Clean up Exceptions button to verify the adjustment you made will actually resolve the exception, and then run Time Administration for that time reporter. During the subsequent running of Time Administration, the time will become payable time along with that which you approved, rather than resolved.

Adjusting Time

This section discusses how to make Record Only adjustments for individual employees or for non-employees.

Understanding Adjustments to Payable Time

Occasionally you may need to make an adjustment to payable time that has already been paid by Payroll, or has been closed. This type of adjustment is called a Record Only Adjustment and is made using the Adjust Paid Time page. When you make an adjustment of this type, it is for record keeping purposes only. The time you add or adjust is not processed by Time and Labor nor is the time passed onto Payroll. For example, a time reporter may have forgotten to report vacation time taken in the last time reporting period. Payroll is notified, their system updated with the time, and a manual check is cut for the employee. To keep your payroll and Time and Labor systems in sync, you use Time and Labor to record that time for record keeping purposes. Because the time has already been paid by payroll and their system adjusted, it does not need to be passed to Payroll again. This feature enables you to keep Time and Labor system in sync with your Payroll system, without re-sending or processing duplicate data.

Using the Adjust Paid Time page, you can add new time, delete time, or change existing payable time that has already been processed by Payroll for North America and has a payable status of Paid - Labor Diluted, or Paid - Labor Distributed. You also can adjust time that has a status of Closed (for example, time reported by contractors that does not get sent to payroll).

All the time reporting fields appear on the Adjust Paid Time page for editing. You can change any field except the Date, Payable Status, and TRC Type fields. After you make adjustments using this page, the system does not process the time further. It does not run it through Time Administration or pass the time to Payroll. Time and Labor does publish the payable time to your PeopleSoft Projects application. If Comp Time is reported, the system will not process Comp Time information and nor adjust the time reporter’s Comp Time balance the next time the Time Administration process is run for that time reporter. Use the Weekly page to make Comp Time adjustments.

When you modify existing payable time, the system creates Offsets because all payable time rows viewable in Adjust Paid Time are in a frozen state. The system creates Offsets to back out the originally reported time, and then add in the new time that you have entered. For example, if you originally reported 2 hours of Overtime and then go in and adjust that to 4 hours, the system will generate 3 rows of data as in the following table:

The first row is the original 2 hours of OT, the second row is the offset that backs out the original 2 hours, and the third row is the new time that you are reporting. The offsets do not display on the Adjust Paid Time page, but you can view them on the View Payable Time page.

Auditing Time

This section provides an overview of auditing time and discusses how to:

• View current reported time.

• View changes made to the reported elapsed time selected.

• View details about the time reporting elements and task reporting elements reported for the time.

• View further history about the time that was originally reported then changed.

• View tracked changes that may have occurred to the originally reported time.

• View the details of the time for the date.

• View details about the reported punch time.

• View further history about the time that was originally reported then changed.

Understanding Auditing Time

PeopleSoft provides audit pages that you can use to view punch and elapsed time for historical purposes. These pages enable you to track what changes have occurred to the originally reported time. On the main Reported Time Audit pages, the system displays reported time that is current. It also displays a History link if changes were made to the originally reported time; otherwise the History element is unavailable. The History page enables you to view the originally reported time and any other changes that happened prior to the reported time that is considered current. The pages, both main and History also include the Time Reporting Elements and Task Reporting Elements tabs that you can use to view additional information about the reported time for the row. These pages eliminate the need to create reports to track changes to your time.

All elements related to time within the Time and Labor system appear as display-only on the pages, even if there is no data to be displayed. The main Reported Time page displays time that exists in the Reported Time tables. The History page displays time that exists in the Audit tables, which include all entries and changes that have occurred to the time.

The Time Reporting Elements tab displays the same information as the Time Reporting Elements tab on the Reported Time Audit page except that. The only difference is, this page also displays the Audit User ID, which is the User ID of the person who entered this row of reported time, and the Audit Date and Time Stamp, which is the audit date and time when the time was reported for this row.

The Task Reporting Elements tab displays the same information as the Task Reporting Elements tab on the Reported Time Audit page.

The Chartfields tab displays the same information as the Chartfields tab on the Reported Time Audit page.

Overriding Rules for a Day

This section discusses how to override rules for a time reporter for a day. The Override Rules page tells the system to bypass rules processing for the day for the time reporter. Time Administration sends reported time, or scheduled time for an exception reporter that didn't positively report anything, to Payable Time and will not process any rules on that time.

When Time Administration is initiated, it extracts records from the Time and Labor Intermediate Payable Time table for any days with reported time that have been overridden, into a rules override working table. It then applies rules to all records stored on the Intermediate Payable Time table and updates payable time. As a final step, Time Administration uses the data stored in the rules override working table to replace records found in the final Payable Time table.

Note. You must enter time exactly how you want your time reporter to get paid, including overtime hours, using one of the time reporting pages when you want to override rules for a day.
