Rules and Guidelines

  • The Time Monitor Rules are designed to provide a capability to track the hours an employee works in defined time codes and across a user defined number of Pay Periods.
  • This supports supervisors in making decisions on which employees to assign additional hours, or reduce schedule hours, to ensure a minimum deviation between their target and actual hours worked.
  • When using the Time Monitor Rules there is a business requirement to accumulate and calculate hours worked over multiple Pay Periods. Without this need Time Monitor Rules and associated processes are not required.
  • The Time Monitor and Time Monitor Report identifies where to access the accumulated hours to date over the Periods in Cycle in both a window and report information respectively.
