Steps: Set Up the Time Accumulator Framework

Steps: Set Up the Time Accumulator Framework

Time accumulators enable you to configure working time or overtime restrictions based on your company or country policies. Using accumulators can reduce the risk of workers exceeding your work-hour limits. The time accumulator framework can track working time over longer reference periods against a defined threshold. You can:
  • Track the number of hours or days that an employee has accumulated based on 1 or more calculation tags.
  • Define work-hour thresholds and compare them against the sum or average of hours for a worker over a reference period.
  • Alert managers to take corrective actions before workers exceed work-hour limits.
  • Use the accumulated overtime calculation to tag time differently when workers exceed their work-hour limits.
  • Allow workers to opt out of time accumulator threshold rules for working time or overtime restrictions (such as working time directives), and opt back in when necessary.
  1. Configure these business processes to route worker opt-out or opt-in requests for approval:
    • Time Accumulator Threshold Rule Opt Out
    • Time Accumulator Threshold Rule Opt In
  2. Maintain priorities for accumulated overtime calculations.
    Enter lower priorities for accumulated overtime calculations to ensure that Workday runs the calculations last in the majority of cases for rules that contain this type of calculation.
  3. (Optional) Add the
    Assign Time Accumulator Threshold Rule
    service step to these business processes:
    • Change Job
    • Change Organization Assignments for Worker
    • Hire
    The service assigns workers to threshold rules automatically based on changes that impact their eligibility.
  4. (Optional) Configure these cards in the Time and Scheduling Hub:
    • Workers Approaching Time Accumulator Threshold: Workday displays this card on the
      Overview
      section of the hub. The card helps managers quickly identify workers approaching or exceeding their threshold rule based on the threshold warning percentages.
    • Time Accumulator Threshold Rules: Workday displays this card on the
      Direct Reports
      section. The card displays all of the threshold rules that the worker is eligible for and the threshold calculation value.
When workers enter time or time off as usual, Workday starts tracking the time against the time accumulator threshold rules.
  • Access the
    View Worker's Time Eligibility
    report to verify the assignment of time accumulator threshold rules. After running the
    Mass Assign Time Accumulator Threshold Rules
    task, 1 or more threshold rules for a worker are visible on the report.
  • Report on workers' time accumulations using these reports:
    • All Time Accumulators
    • All Time Accumulator Threshold Rules
    • Time Accumulations for Workers
    • View Time Accumulator Threshold Rule History for Workers
