The Time Card module has two functions: 1) to enter the employee coming in at the start and end of the shift, and 2) to track time spent by each employee on each Work Order (Job), by date and time. This information will forward to the Time and Attendance module.
The Time & Attendance module captures information from the Time Card module regarding the worker logging in for the shift and/or logging into a job (Work Order). The user or his/her supervisor may also add additional information into Time Log Management, regarding time off for vacation, jury duty, etc. Several printed reports are available. The information regarding time spent on each job (Work Order) forwards to the Job Costing Module.
If you want to keep track of times worked against a Work order you need to use the Time Card and log in/out of a work order. This will allow you to track hours spent on a specific Work order/job. At the same time the Time & Attendance module will allow a user to be logged in to a different department/workcenter.
If you are looking to use the Time & Attendance module to provide the hours for your payroll system we are going to suggest that regardless of the Work orders the user might be logged into, you will still have to have a record created for the hours worked by that employee for that day per Department and/or Workcenter, by having the employee log into the Time card at the beginning of the shift and logging out at the end of the shift, then run the "Employee Time Card Summary" report. This should give you the information for your payroll.
You cannot use a combination of WO log ins and Time Card log ins.
This explains how the system is calculating the RT and OT. In Time & Attendance Types setup, user can select the RT and OT calculation method for "Time Card" by shift or by total hours worked.
Please note: it's ONLY for "Time Card", that means, for other types like Job, Holiday..... the RT and OT is still calculated by shift. No matter if the user logged in the system (for Time Card) has reached the hours set up in system setup or not, if the logged in/out time for JOB is outside of the shift time that user was assigned. It's calculated as over time.
The time calculated in "Time Card" is more like the tool that user should use to see how much time the user worked during selected time period. But the time worked in "Job" should only be used for the supervisor to see how the time spent on each job, but not for payroll purpose.
A checkbox "Allow to enter hours directly in Time Log Management" is in Time & Attendance Types setup, if it's checked, the user will be able to enter hours directly in Time used field for that type in the Time Log Management. Once user adds a new record for a time log type which is allowed to enter hours directly, the time in and time out fields will be blank out and disabled, and user can enter how many hours for that record directly. Otherwise, the system works the same way as before (the user has to enter time in/out).
The system only allows user to enter "RT" no "OT" can be entered. Therefore, user can not check type "W" or "T" to enter hours directly. The system will have to calculate the total log in time and determine what's the RT and OT for type "W" and "T".
The time in and out will be also blank if the type is "H" -- holiday, and the system will use shift to calculate the RT, no OT will be calculated.
