Combining of Time-Management Tasks in Time Evaluation 

The analysis of time-management tasks provides a completely new view of time evaluation. In Time Evaluation for Concurrent Employment, you define which processing steps have to be processed for which personnel assignments to achieve a particular result.

You have the time-management task of ensuring that employees do not exceed the maximum daily working time. To do so, you have to collect the time that an employee spent working on one or more personnel assignments on one day into a time type and compare the value with the TGMAX constant.  If the employee exceeds the working time, you want a message to be issued.

In the time evaluation schema it is mostly the case that a time-management task is not a single processing step or time evaluation function, but all the time evaluation functions together that provide a particular result. This is best illustrated by way of an example of how a typical time-management task is processed in the schema. The Check maximum daily working time task is executed in the following processing steps in Time Evaluation:

·        Read the employee’s time data using the time evaluation functions P2000 or P2011 and the time evaluation functions P2001, P2002, and A2003

·        Run error checks

·        Assign processing type and time type

·        Determine planned working time pairs

·        Form day balances

·        Determine productive hours

·        Check limits for time balances

·        Export results

You can use these processes to determine a large number of time balances and messages. To check the maximum daily working time, you do not, however, have to determine all day balances and messages, instead a special day balance and possibly a special message.

Likewise, some of the processing steps listed do not relate specifically to one particular time-management task. Importing data, determining planned working times, or exporting data are more technical time evaluation functions, which you can use to group the relevant data and control time evaluation. Time evaluation has to process these steps regardless of the special time-management task that has to be processed.

Time Evaluation for Concurrent Employment provides you with a framework that enables you to combine flexibly the processing steps required to fulfill one requirement of an employer, union, or law.  You do not have to call the technical functions.

To determine the maximum daily working time, you therefore have to group the functions for forming day balances, determining the productive hours, and checking the limits into a time-management task.
