The HR component allows you to check an employee’s working times using certain conditions that must be defined first. Once the conditions have been fulfilled, the system can generate the required wage types and include them in the payroll run.
If an employee’s working hours are recorded manually on a time sheet and you want to maintain this data as wage types in the Employee Remuneration Information infotype (2010), the person responsible must be familiar with all the relevant details.
For example, the person must be familiar with the following details:
- When does planned working time end, that is, when does overtime start for the employee?
- Which bonus is used to remunerate overtime?
- Does the employee’s work schedule include weekend work, or is work at weekends the exception (do the bonuses vary)?
- Is there a public holiday on the workday itself, the day before, or the day after?
Time Wage Type Selection and Overtime Compensation
Time wage type selection occurs in subschema TC00. The DAYPR function calls the subschema TC00 from schema XT00.
The main task of TC00 is wage type selection. You can use the Time Wage Type Selection Rule view (V_T510S) and the GWT function to determine the time wage types for planned work and overtime. This determination of time wage types runs simultaneously with the day processing in the program RPTIME00 (Time Evaluation).
The option of administering time balances and changing quotas (compensation of overtime wage types) is a special feature of time evaluation. The POVT function in schema TC00 creates only the time wage types. Time balances cannot be created and quotas cannot be updated.
In schema TC00, all times within the planned working time period are defined as planned work. All times outside of this period are defined as overtime for days that have had no time evaluation run for them and which are to be included in payroll.
Time Pairs
The system displays an employee’s working times in the form of time pairs (start or end times).
In the example shown, the employee worked from 8:00 to 19:00. Therefore, the following time pairs will be displayed in the system:
- The time pair 08:00 to 17:00 is derived from the employee’s work schedule. The pair represents the employee’s planned working time. This time pair has processing type S (planned work).
- The time pair 05:00 to 19:00 represents the time span the employee works outside the planned working time. This time pair has processing type M (overtime).
The Overtime infotype (2005) also records the actual times for processing type M for the employees who do not use time recording.
Time pairs are stored in the internal table TIP.
