SPECIAL CONDITIONS#
Overview#
Special conditions are used to identify all of the reasons why an employee would possibly need to enter additional time, these include, attending meetings, in early, out late, etc. From the employee's perspective, all they would need to do is select the appropriate dialog, complete the necessary fields and ensure to select an option from the lexicon 'X_TM_SPEC_COND' which is attached to the field 'Reason For Time' or ‘Reason for Change’.This is associated to a time code that is then processed into Payroll.
Special Conditions are utilized in the Time Sheets (WxTTS) and Time Cards (WxPTS) in the “I want to...” dialogs as follows:
Time Sheets
- ADD MORE TIME OR AN EXTRA SHIFT
- CHANGE NORMAL TIME OR SCHEDULE
- CHANGE WHAT WAS WORKED ON
Time Cards
- ADD MORE TIME
- CHANGE WHAT WAS WORKED ON
Set Up#
Lexicons - IMLN#
The lexicons are supplied but the values within the lexicons are User Defined.Display Value is what the Employee will see
Saved Value is the exact name of the Time Rule that you will create.
Example set-up for Lexicon:X_TM_SPEC_COND
- Display Value:Meeting
- Saved Value:MEETING
Time Rule Types - ITRT#
Each “user defined” Time Rules lexicon Saved Value must be created as a Time Rule Type in ITRT with a sequence of 90000 and above; this will make it 'user-defined' and allows clients to update and delete the Time Rule Types. Failure to do this will mean the new user-defined time rule will be marked as 'NO LONGER IN USE' during the next software upgrade.'Reason for Time' created in the X_TM_SPEC_COND lexicon are always for Time Codes
Example user-defined Special Condition Time Rule set-up
- Seq:900070
- Time Rule Type:MEETING
- Description:Mandatory Company Meeting
- Time Code toggle:On
Work Rule - IDWR#
Each new Time Rule Type needs to be added to the Work Rules. This allows the appropriate Time Codes and Premiums to be attached to different Work Rules.'Reason for Time' created in the X_TM_SPEC_COND lexicon for the Time Rule Type of MEETING.
Example set-up
- Time Rule Type:MEETING
- Band:0
- Time Code:ADD TIME
