Generate Time and Scheduled Shifts #

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

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 Personality.

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.
