Personnel Subarea Groupings

Use

Scheduling working times for each area of your enterprise is a time-intensive process. You can reduce time and cost expenditure when scheduling working times by grouping together organizational units that require the same work schedules.

You set up your desired work schedules in the Customizing steps in the Work Schedules section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Time Management. To create work schedules, set up the following groupings:

Organizational units where employees have the same working times. Here you create personnel groups and personnel subgroups. This enables you to group together divisions or plans that work according to the same regional or local working time provisions. Any type of legal change, such as a new working time provision stipulating that only 4 hours may be worked on Sundays, can be carried out in one step at one time for all elements of this group.

Employee subgroups — members of group work according to the same working times. Here you create employee subgroup groupings such as hourly wage earners, salaried employees, trainees, and so on. This enables you to group together employees who work according to the same work schedule rules, such as flextime, 3-shift operations, and so on. Even working time provisions in collective agreements, such as employees having a shift off after a night shift, can be carried out at one time for all elements of this group.

Example

Your enterprise consists of several organizational units, which are located in different cities. The personnel area Pharmacy is divided into the following personnel subareas:

City A (0001)

City B (0002)

City C (0003)

The personnel subareas A and C have the same work schedule; personnel subarea B has its own work schedule. In addition, the personnel subareas A and C work 40 hours per week; personnel subarea B works only 35 hours per week. Create the following groupings:

Personnel Subarea Groupings (PSG) for Work Schedules (WS)

0001 City A à Grpg PSG for DWS 02
0002 City B à Grpg PSG for DWS 01
0003 City C à Grpg PSG for DWS 02

You define two work schedules as flextime models, one for 40 hours per week, the other for 35 hours per week. Assign flextime with 40 hours per week to the personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedule 02 (Grpg PSG for DWS) and the flextime with 35 hours a weeks to the personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedule 01 (Gprg PSG for DWS).
