Initial setup

As a system administrator, you must perform some setup tasks before employees can use the Weekly Timesheet. Employees require a schedule of start and end times and a planned work assigned, called a default labor allocation.

Employee schedules are automatically created from their shift pattern, an ordered list of shifts that employees are scheduled to work. Shift patterns include all the shifts and days off that consist of a complete, repeating cycle.

Default labor allocations specify what tasks employees work on, and for how long, during the week. The amount of time employees work against specific metrics such as jobs, projects, and departments is tracked.

You must perform these tasks before employees can use the Weekly Timesheet:

1. Create schedules.

   See "Creating employee schedules" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

2. Assign schedules to employees.

   See "Assigning schedules" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

3. Set default labor allocations for employees.

   See "Creating employee labor allocation overrides" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.
