Time Management

By /

In Oracle Cloud Fusion applications, time management is primarily handled through the Time and Labor module. It allows employees and managers to manage time entries, schedules, and attendance while integrating seamlessly with payroll, project costing, and absence management systems. Here’s how time management typically works in Oracle Cloud Fusion:

Key Features of Time Management in Oracle Cloud Fusion:

  1. Time Entry:

    • Employees can log their working hours either manually or through predefined templates.
    • Supports different types of time entries, such as regular work hours, overtime, and project-based time.
    • Time can be entered on a daily or weekly basis, depending on organizational policy.
    • Responsive UI: The system provides a user-friendly interface that is accessible on mobile devices, making it easier for employees to log time on the go.

  2. Time Card Approvals:

    • After time entry, employees submit their time cards for manager approval.
    • The approval process can be automated with predefined workflows.
    • Notifications and reminders can be set up to ensure that time cards are submitted and approved on time.

  3. Time Calculations:

    • The system allows for automatic calculations of overtime, shift differentials, and other pay rules.
    • Time management integrates with Oracle Payroll to ensure accurate payment based on time worked.
    • It supports complex time calculation rules based on various parameters such as employee type, work schedule, and location.

  4. Schedules and Shifts:

    • Managers can create, modify, and assign work schedules and shifts to employees.
    • The system allows setting up shift patterns (e.g., rotating shifts) and ensures compliance with labor laws and organizational policies.
    • Employees can view their schedules and request changes if needed.

  5. Integration with Absence Management:

    • Time management integrates with the Absence Management module so that any recorded absences (such as vacation, sick leave) are factored into time calculations automatically.
    • Employees can request absences directly from their time entry screens, ensuring seamless updates.

  6. Project Time Tracking:

    • Employees working on specific projects can log time directly against those projects.
    • Integration with Oracle Project Financials ensures that time entered for project-based work is accurately reflected in project costing and billing.

  7. Compliance and Reporting:

    • Oracle Time and Labor allows organizations to configure time tracking to comply with labor laws and regulatory requirements.
    • Built-in reporting tools offer insights into employee time patterns, overtime usage, and overall productivity, helping managers make informed decisions.

  8. Manager Self-Service:

    • Managers can view the time records of their team, approve or reject time cards, manage schedules, and view attendance data.
    • Dashboards and alerts provide insights into time and attendance, helping managers to track trends like absenteeism and overtime.

Steps to Manage Time in Oracle Cloud Fusion:

  1. Access Time and Labor Module:

    • Log in to Oracle Fusion.
    • Navigate to the Time and Labor section from the main dashboard under the Me or My Team tabs (depending on your role).

  2. Enter Time:

    • Go to Time Cards.
    • Select the relevant period (e.g., daily or weekly).
    • Enter work hours and other relevant details such as project codes or time types (overtime, regular, etc.).
    • Save the time entry.

  3. Submit Time Card:

    • After completing the time card, click Submit for approval.
    • The time card will be sent to the manager or relevant approver according to the workflow settings.

  4. Approval Process:

    • Managers can approve or reject time cards from the My Team section.
    • Notifications will be sent to both employee and manager regarding the approval status.

  5. Check Time Card Status:

    • Employees can check the status of their time cards to see if they are pending approval, approved, or rejected.

By managing time effectively in Oracle Cloud Fusion, both employees and organizations can ensure accurate and efficient time tracking, reduce payroll errors, and comply with labor laws and policies.
