Time Wage Type Selection

Use

In time wage type selection, you use employees’ time data to determine the hourly wage and bonuses for overtime, work on a public holiday, and night work.

Example Example

End of the example.

  • You want different time wage types to be selected for work on a public holiday than for work on a workday.

  • For up to two hours of overtime you want time wage type Mxxx to be selected in addition to the basic hourly wage. This wage type is valuated with a 25% bonus in comparison with the basic hourly wage.

The monetary valuation of the time wage types determined is performed further on in the payroll process.

Integration

Time wage type selection is a processing step in day processing of time data in Payroll or Time Evaluation. It is called by function GWT ( Generate Wage Types ) in the schema (TC00 Wage Type Generation International or TC04 Wage Type Generation International for Time Evaluation Without Clock Times for Payroll, or in the standard time evaluation schemas.

Function GWT processes the entries of table T510S ( Time Wage Type Selection) , which contains the wage types that can be selected and the conditions that must be met for the selection of a wage type.

Prerequisites

You have set up table T510S ( Time Wage Type Selection) to suit your requirements. This is done in Customizing for Time Evaluation or Payroll.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide for Time Evaluation or Payroll .

Features

There are many different regulations governing the selection of time wage types. They are formed when several individual rules in T510S are grouped into a rule group. In this way, you can group together all corporate regulations for your employee groupings.

Each individual rule contains the time wage type to be selected. In time wage type selection, all individual rules in a rule group are run. If even one of the conditions specified in an individual rule is not fulfilled, the time wage type is not selected.

Groupings for time wage type selection

The rule groups for the selection of time wage types are determined according to the time wage type selection rule group and the day grouping for time wage type selection, which are the key to reading table T510S.

  • Whether an employee is an hourly wage earner or a salaried employee, for example, plays an important role in time wage type selection. You can therefore use the time wage type selection rule group to group your employees, and set regulations according to the groupings. The time wage type selection rule group is independent of the other organizational groupings in the Human Resources system. It is only used for time wage type selection.

  • You can define various rule groups depending on particular factors relating to the day being evaluated (workdays, normal working days, Sundays, public holidays, and so on). You can use the day grouping for time wage type selection to distinguish between the rule groups.

Note Note

The conditions on the day being evaluated can also be contained in an individual rule.

For a better system performance, however, it is advisable to create rule groups for the selection of time wage types for certain days. In this case, you specify day-related conditions using the day grouping for time wage type selection.

End of the note.

  • In day processing, the times are classified according to the information from the work schedule and the recorded time data. The times are assigned an indicator, the processing type. Its main use is to differentiate planned working time and overtime. You can also use it for additional criteria.

Different time wage types can be selected for a rule group dependent on the processing type.

Conditions on the time or duration of work performed or on the day being evaluated

For each time wage type/individual rule, you determine conditions on the day being evaluated for the time or duration of work performed. A time wage type is only selected if all the specified criteria are met.

  • Conditions on the day

The time wage type is only selected if the conditions specified for the day being evaluated are met. In this way you can, for example, determine bonuses automatically for work on weekends, on a public holiday, or the day before or after a public holiday.

Information from the employee’s planned working time can also be a condition on the selection of a time wage type. This can depend on whether the day is a workday for the employee, for example, or on the information stored in the daily or period work schedule.

Example Example

You want employees who work a rotating shift pattern (early, late, and night shift) to be paid higher bonuses than employees who work a normal shift, provided the circumstances are the same ( Valuation class of the period work schedule) .

End of the example.

  • Conditions on the time

You can define conditions on the time or duration of work performed to enable bonuses such as overtime, Sunday, or night bonuses to be selected. You can specify that the time wage type is only to be selected within a particular time interval or that it is not selected until a certain number of hours has been worked. You can also specify that a time wage type be chosen only if the employee has already worked a certain number of planned working hours or overtime hours on that day.

Additional options in Customizing

  • You can set a time wage type to a fixed value, regardless of the hours worked in one day. This enables you to set up a guaranteed hours regulation, for example.

  • You can use the exit regulations in time wage type selection to stipulate that no more time wage types be selected after a certain one has been selected.
