Time and Labor Reports in HRS
Overview
This document provides an overview of Time and Labor reports available within HRS.Process Considerations:
- For managers, some reports can be accessed from the Time and Absence MSS Dashboard, for more information on accessing the dashboard, see KB Managing the Time and Absence MSS Dashboard in HRS
- Time and Labor reports are executed using an online interface page called a run control. For more information on using Run Controls please refer to Setting Up Run Control IDs in HRS .
Always consider the volume of data being requested when setting up run controls and include additional selection criteria when possible in order to keep the amount of data being processed to a manageable level. Large volume requests can impact the systems ability to process other jobs that may be running simultaneously.

Payable Status Report
Navigation: Time and Labor > Reports > Payable Status Report
Audience: Payroll Coordinators, Supervisor, UWSS Service Operations
Frequency: This report will be run each pay processing week (especially Tue/Wed of the processing week)
Description: This report lists all Payable Time for a range of dates to provide the manager with a picture of processed and unprocessed time.
Procedure: To run the Payable Status report perform the following:
- Specify a description for the run control.
- Specify a date range by entering the From and To Date. This will restrict the report to include information between and including these dates.
- Select the payable statuses you want to review. Below is a short description of each payable time status. This list is in order of most to least used.
NA – Needs Approval. Set by Time and Labor. This status means payable time requires approval from a payroll coordinator or manager before it can be processed by Payroll.
AP – Approved. Set by Time and Labor. This status means payable time has been approved and is now ready to be processed by Payroll.
CL – Closed. Can be set by Time and Labor, Payroll or Labor Distribution (Financials). This indicates that all processing for the payable time has been completed and the time entry is closed.
TP – Taken by Payroll. Set by Payroll. This indicates that the payable time has been accepted by payroll and is being processed.
RP – Rejected by Payroll. Set by Payroll. This indicates that errors have been found and payable time has been rejected.
PB - Pushed Back. Set by Time and Labor. The payable time is not approved. The employee's original reported time is incorrect and needs to be updated on the employee's timesheet.
DN - Denied. Set by Time and Labor. The payable time is not approved. Currently, we do not recommend setting payable time to "Deny" status. If this status was used and the employee is owed payment, a ticket needs to be opened with UWSS Service Operations Time and Labor Team.
ES – Estimated. Set by Time and Labor. ES means ready for payroll. Estimated is the initial status for payable time. The status may change as the payable time is further processed by payroll and financials.
OE – Online Estimated: Do not use. This is the estimated payable time created by launching the online rules processing from the Timesheet page. We are not utilizing online rules in Time and Labor.
SP – Sent to Payroll. Set by Payroll. This indicates that the payable time has been sent to payroll for processing. At this point payroll can decide to take the payable time and process it or reject it if any errors are found.
PD – Distributed. Set by Labor Distribution (Financials) and indicates that actual costs have been applied to payable time.
DL – Diluted. Set by Labor Distribution (Financials). This status indicates that actual costs have been evenly distributed across payable time entries.
NP – No Pay. Set by Project Costing (Financials) only. Indicates that the payable time is not going to Payroll and is closed.
RV – Check Reversed. Set by Payroll. Is used to indicate that a payable time entry was included in a paycheck reversal.
IG – Ignore. Do not use. This is for systems using Global Payroll Only. We are using North American Payroll.

Navigation: Time and Labor > Reports > Time Clock & Web Entry Report
Audience: Payroll Coordinators, Supervisors
Frequency: Ad-Hoc during the payroll processing period.
Description: In Peoplesoft there are three modes of time entry: Timesheet, Time Clock and Web Clock.
The Time Clock and Web Clock applications are restricted meaning that once time entries are submitted they cannot be changed. On the other hand the Timesheet application is not restricted. Entries made on the time sheet can be updated and/or deleted. The problem with this setup is that employees with multiple jobs could have both restricted (Time Clock and Web Clock) and unrestricted (Timesheet) access; making it possible for them to update time generated through the restricted mode of entry on the timesheet. This report lists time entries that have been created or changed by employees. This report helps payroll coordinators/supervisors to monitor manipulation of time entries.
Procedure: To run this report, perform the following.
- Enter a date range for the report by entering the FROM date and TO date fields. This will restrict the report to include information between and including these dates.
- Enter the dept-id and group-id. These are optional fields but they can help in narrowing the report results. Click the search icon next to each field for a list of valid values.
- The employee class can be used to return information for a specific class of employees. To include all classes click the 'All Values' check-box. If you want to specify certain classes click the 'SELECT VALUES' button. The next screen displays a list of employee classes. Select the ones you wish to include in the report then click then OK button at the bottom of the screen.
- To run the Time Clock & Web Entry Report click the RUN button at the top of the screen.

- The Punch Type shows which punch was changed "In" or "Out".
- The Date and Time Created Column is when the employee originally first clocked in using the webclock or timeclock.
- The Punch Date & Time shows what the time was changed to using the timesheet.
- The Last Update Date/Time shows when the actual change was made by the employee.
