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.

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 Wiki.

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.

If performance is an issue with UEGTS, the function may be configured to use multiple processing threads to speed up performance. For more information on this please see the page titled Multiple Processing Threads.

Processing Information#

Uses a standard people selection criteria as with other updates within Wiki.

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

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

'Override Calendar' on IEAS will be looked at first
If there is no Override Calendar the 'Work Calendar' on IDWR is used

Regular Time Code#

The Work Calendar Time Code is used, if it is not indicated then
The Work Rule Shift tab Time Code is used, if it is not indicated then
The Employment Status Time Code is used, if it is not indicated then
The Time Rules tab the time code defined in the time rule 'DFLT TIME CODE'is used

UEGTS TM - Time Management

ii)TM - Hours Calendar

Work Calendar

Lunch/Break Time Code#

Applies only to TM - Shift Calendar.
A pay component needs to be associated to the time-code only if the lunch is paid for.
In ITSS, create shifts as needed. It is important that the period designated as 'Lunch' have a Time Slot Type' of 'Lunch'.
Add the 'MEAL' time rule in the IDWR on the Time Rule tab and indicate the Time Code to be used.
When UEGTS is run, the work entry for 'lunch' will now have the time code Time Code Type 'LUNCH-OR-BREAK'.

General#

The timesheet is generated with a status of 'Active'.
Time Sheet Source will be generated as Scheduled Time ('05') and/or Generated Time ('01') Time Generated (UEGTS)
Auto balancing logic will update 'Generated Time' record for each day based on 'Scheduled Time' and 'Manual Entered' time only if on the Time Code the field Adjust Scheduled Time is not null.
