Time codes

Time codes classify the time an employee is scheduled to work. Each period of an employee's work time is represented by a time code. These time codes could have pay-related implications should the business requirements mandate so. The time codes are usually determined as part of the initial requirements gathering or discovery sessions that are conducted before the application is installed.

All shifts in MVS carry an activity that represents that type of work or activity that occurs during the shift. Each activity is associated to a single time code, but multiple activities could also be associated to the same time code. It is crucial that sufficient number of distinct time codes is established such that all scheduled activities could incur the correct payments according to business requirements.

An additional attribute called FTE Qualify can be configured as a Boolean field type (for example, CheckboxUI) for time codes that account for employees' total working hours in the Advanced Schedule View. Typically, time codes such as WRK has the FTE Qualify field selected to indicate productive time. Leave time codes usually are not indicated as FTE Qualify to signify non- productive time.
