Create Time Accumulators

Create Time Accumulators

Create time calculation tags to include in the time accumulator.
Security:
Set Up: Time Tracking
 domain in the Time Tracking and Time Tracking Hub functional areas.
You can create time accumulators to configure working time or overtime restrictions. Time accumulators run after time calculations and use time calculation tags to pull the appropriate time blocks into threshold calculations. You can include:
  • Reported time off with a calculation tag. You can select the tag from the
    Time Calculation Tag
     prompt on the
    Create Time Off
     task. Workday pulls the time off units into the threshold calculation if you add the calculation tag to the time accumulator.
  • Calculated time off. You can select
    Include Calculation Tags
     on the
    Create Time Entry Template
     task. Workday creates calculated blocks for time off and pulls them into the threshold calculation if you add the calculation tag to the time accumulator. When calculated time off isn't available, the accumulator includes reported time off if you add the calculation tag to the accumulator.
  1. Access the
    Create Time Accumulator
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Add Time Calculation Tags
    Select 1 or more time calculation tags for use in the accumulator. Don't use temporary time calculation tags. Workday adds time blocks with these tags if they're in the period of the rule.
    Alternatively, if you want to include all time calculation tags except the ones that you select, select the
    Exclude Selected Tags
     check box.
    Time Day Based On
    Select 1 of these options to include time blocks with the selected tags based on:
    • Calculated Date
      , for Workday-generated blocks, or blocks created using the
      Time Block Create
       calculation type that don’t have a calendar date.
    • Calendar Date
      , for calculated blocks that are part of a period.
    • Shift Date
      , for groups of time blocks. When the shift date isn't available, Workday uses the calculated date.
    Deduct Time Calculation Tags
    Select 1 or more time calculation tags for use in the time accumulator. Don't use temporary time calculation tags. Workday deducts time blocks with these tags if they're in the period of the rule. Example: You can deduct time calculation tags for compensatory time or time off in lieu of overtime.
