!!!GENERATE TIME AND SCHEDULED SHIFTS

The Generate Time and Scheduled Shifts (UEGTS) program is used to generate time sheets.

This program is used to generate time sheets for all of the different paths outlined in [The Various Paths of Time Management|THE VARIOUS PATHS OF TIME MANAGEMENT]. 

Similar to the functionality of the Generate Pay Transactions ([UPTG]) screen, this function generates scheduled shifts and time sheets or time cards for the employees selected; whereas [UPTG] generates pay transactions for the employees selected.

A time sheet/card contains all of the information pertaining to how many hours an employee has worked in addition to any exceptions that may have occurred. E.g. any vacation, sick, expenses, etc.

[UEGTS] provides for mid-period changes. This is where a new hire or termination that has occurred mid-period or a change to an employee's assignment is applied mid-period E.g. shift change, position change, job change, etc.

The purpose of the [UEGTS] is to generate Time Sheets (WxTTS) with from/to time according to scheduled shifts or Time Cards (WxPTS) with hours.

This function is used in the Time Management Self Service module of [{$applicationname}].

Employees must have a Work Rule with a Work Calendar.

[UEGTS] can be run over and over, in order to pick up any changes; promotions, terminations, hires, schedule changes, etc.

[UPTG] can still be run for Salaried Employees

[UTTP] builds the schedules shifts, and at the same time the time sheet details are created.

[UEGTS] and [UTTP] can be run in either order.

!!Processing Information
Uses a standard people selection criteria as with other updates within [{$applicationname}].

The process can select multiple assignments, however there is a parameter to restrict the selection to 'Prime ONLY'.

Generates time sheets (WxTTS) and time cards (WxPTS) under the payroll associated with the group on the assignment selected.

The employees’ work rule/calendar will drive what gets generated in Station Schedules ([DTSH]) screen.

Will generate scheduled shifts when the Shift field is populated on Work Calendar ([IDWC])

UEGTS uses the [Time Generation Destination|TIME_GENERATION_DESTINATION] field from the employees’ [Work Rule|WORK RULE] to determine whether to generate Time Sheets (From/To time) or Time Cards (Hours).
