Reference: Time Tracking Calculations Capability

You can view a high-level feature description for the capability in this product area.

Supports the creation of calculations for overtime, premiums, and other pay policies to execute when workers enter time. Workday generates calculated time blocks from time blocks that workers report. Workday Payroll and third-party applications can import calculated time blocks for payment of workers. Calculated time can also be exported for use in Workday Scheduling or other external systems. The functionality provides the ability to:

Add time to a worker's absence accrual for time in lieu.
Apply effective dating to time calculations and time calculation groups.
Configure a dynamic date range when time calculations are run.
Configure daily evaluation of worker eligibility for time calculations to support midweek changes in worker eligibility.
Configure multiple effective-dated snapshots to time calculation groups and most time calculations.
Configure pay penalties to workers based on missed meals or breaks, or schedule changes without notice.
Control when a worker's work day and work week begins.
Create configurable time calculation criteria using time calculation fields.
Generate additional hours for overtime, holiday pay, shift differential, and guaranteed hours, as well as generating specific override rates for time entries.
Generate temporary results to use in other time calculations.
Include time offs in time calculations to evaluate shift differentials and other compensations.
Review time-tracking configurations in a tenant, verify tenant configuration against Workday recommendations, and troubleshoot performance issues.
Support priority order for time calculation processing.
Tag time as overtime when workers exceed threshold rules or record time outside of their schedules.
Track working hours or overtime against a threshold over a defined reference period.
View time-tracking setup data and time calculations for which a particular worker is eligible to help troubleshoot calculation issues.

The functionality supports time entry validations that:

Alert reviewers to conditions that need review.
Warn workers when entering invalid time entries, or prevent workers from submitting them.

The functionality includes troubleshooting tools to analyze time calculation results and related configurations.
