Time Evaluation Business Subjects 

Definition

A time evaluation business subject (business subject for short) describes a time-management regulation or a self-contained time-management task. Business subjects can be assigned wage types, time balances, attendance and absence quotas, and message types that you want to result from the time-management regulation.

Use

You use business subjects to define time-management tasks in Customizing for Time Evaluation and Day Processing of Time Data in Payroll and to process them in Time Evaluation and Payroll.

Structure

Grouping reasons

You use the editor for personnel assignments to assign the defined grouping reasons for personnel assignment groupings to business subjects. This structure enables you to access any grouping reasons you already created for other tasks (such as calculating the gross amount in Payroll).

One grouping reason will generally suffice for the purposes of time evaluation. The standard system provides the grouping reason TITR, which references the TIRUG feature to group personnel assignments.

Result of the time-management tasks

Each business subject is defined from the result of a time-management task. Time Management has the following results:

·        Wage types for remunerating work

·        Time balances for managing time accounts

·        Attendance and absence quotas for attendance approvals, accrual of time-off entitlements, leave, and other approved absences.

·        Message types for monitoring labor protection regulations, checking adherence to working times, and notes informing of particular situations.

You assign at least one wage type, time type, attendance/absence quota, or a message type to each business subject. It is this assignment that enables the system to assign results to multiple personnel assignments of one employee.

Assigning the relevant processing steps

Each business subject has the concrete processing steps assigned to it that are required by the system to execute a time-management task. The system processes these time evaluation business rules (business rules for short) according to the personnel assignment grouping value determined via the personnel assignment grouping. The grouping value defines the business rule that applies to the relevant personnel assignment or employee.
