Configure Earnings to Retrieve Calculated Time

Configure Earnings to Retrieve Calculated Time

  • Set up payroll and time tracking period schedules.
  • Set up retro pay functionality.
Security:
Set Up: Payroll (Calculations - Payroll Specific)
 domain in the Core Payroll functional area.
You can configure earnings to retrieve approved calculated time based on time calculation tags.
  1. Access the
    Create Earning
     or
    Edit Earning
     task.
  2. In the
    Worker Eligibility
     section, add eligibility criteria.
    To prevent payslips from showing a zero value for the earning when no approved hours exist, select
    Timesheet Approved Hours for Earning <> 0
    .
  3. In the
    Calculation Details
     section, define
    Related Calculations
     to:
    • Aggregate hours that have the selected time calculation tags. Example: For an
      Hourly Pay
       earning, add a related calculation of
      Hours (unprorated)
      . For the
      Override Value
       select
      Timesheet: Approved Hours for Earning for Sub-period
      .
    • Use override rates in Payroll calculations, if you have configured time entry codes to accept override rates. Example: For an
      Hourly Pay
       earning, add a related calculation of
      Rate
      . For the
      Override Value
       select
      Time Tracking: Override Rate for Time Block
      .
  4. On the
    Time
     section of the
    Effective Dated
     tab, specify which time to pay with the earning.
    Payroll only pulls time blocks that have the tags you select in the
    Time Calculation Tags
     column. Example: You select the
    Overtime
     time calculation tag. You can map the same calculation tag to more than 1 earning; however, you can't use the same hours in more than 1 net-to-gross result.
    In order for earnings to process time blocks, time blocks must have:
    • All the time calculation tags that you select in the same row, or
    • All tags specified in at least 1 row, if you define more than 1 row of tags.
When you use the
Run Pay Calculation
 task, Payroll retrieves approved calculated time that has calculation tags that match the tags assigned to the earnings.
