The system can also store records for people who are not employees of the corporation. For example, the system can be used to track education classes taken by the public or to grant security access to the facility for volunteer workers or agency staff. These non-employees need to be set up a little differently, so that they do not count toward licensing and are not included in the system processing.
An inherited role is an authorization role that is indirectly assigned to an employee. This role is set up on any level of the Organization Unit screen>Roles section, and is automatically assigned to all employees whose Home labor distribution matches any of the levels of the organization unit. For example, if an employee belongs to a home labor distribution of Corporation A/Facility 1/Department 304/ Unit 1, he or she will "inherit" all the roles set up in the Organization Unit screen for Corporation A and for Facility 1 and for Department 304 and for Unit 1. An inherited role can be overridden at the employee level by assigning the employee the same role but with a different level of access (grant, deny or pass through).
Note: Inherited roles are not listed in the Roles screen in the employee record. They can be viewed in the employee record on the TCS screen>Employee Authorization Information card.
To add a non-employee record, complete the following steps:
An Organization Unit structure can be set up specifically for non-employees. These organization units should be set up at the Trunk level and at the Branch level, since these are the levels that are required on the employees' Home Labor Distribution screen. Non-employee organization units can be set up above these levels as well, if desired.
The branch structure level is the third of the four major organization structure levels used for payroll processing and scheduling. There can be up to nine structure levels within an organization, but the four key structure levels are called root, trunk, branch, and leaf. Many of the payroll and scheduling reports are totaled by these levels.
During initial system set up, these levels are identified and linked in the system. Authorized users can view the structure levels assigned to each of these levels on the Configuration section>Organization Unit card>Organization Link Level screen.
The trunk structure level is the second of the four major organization structure levels used for payroll processing and scheduling. There can be up to nine structure levels within an organization, but the four key structure levels are called root, trunk, branch, and leaf. Many of the payroll and scheduling reports are totaled by these levels.

There can be more than one organization unit to monitor non-employees. For example, there can be an organization unit specifically set up for tracking Education Classes, one for tracking Volunteer workers, one for tracking outside agency employees who need security access, etc.
This screen is found in the Configuration section>Organization Unit card>Organization Unit. When creating an organization unit specifically for non-employees, not all the section screens need to be set up.
Set up the following Organization Unit screens:
Set up this screen in the same manner as an employee organization unit. Make the Description label intuitive, so that it is obvious this is a non-employee organization unit. |

Be sure to NOT assign any roles that are included in processing or licensing. More About System Licensing of Employees. The system calculates the number of active employees for each application to determine if this number is covered by contract licensing. The number of active employees for each application can be viewed on the License Compliance Report. This report is generated from the Reports section>System card. When employees terminate or becomes inactive, they no longer count towards licensing. Their employee records should not be deleted, but should remain in the system so that the historical integrity of the system is maintained. For example, to show that a certain employee worked on a particular day in a previous year, the employee record must remain in the system, even though he/she may have since terminated his/her employment. The number of years an employee record should remain in the system depends on the policies of the corporation. For more information on the criteria for determining the licensed number of employees, see the following links. Note: Prior to Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling version 09.00.00, Staffing and Scheduling (SS) was called ActiveStaffer (AS), and Time and Attendance (TA) was called Payrollmation (PM). An employee record in the Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling system counts toward the SS Employee License count when all of the following are true:
An employee record in the Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling system counts toward the Education Tracking ED Employee License count when all of the following are true:
An employee record in the Time and Attendance and Staffing and Scheduling system counts toward the TA Employee License when all of the following are true:
Note: If the system stores non-employee records for education tracking purposes or for security access, they do not need to count toward licensing. To prevent these non-employees from being counted, they should NOT be assigned to an Authorization Role that counts toward licensing. This can be accomplished by either Denying the role in the non-employee record, or by assigning them to an organization unit that does NOT have an inherited role that counts towards licensing. For more information, see Adding a Non-Employee Record. Note: If authorization roles are assigned at a higher organization unit level, they will need to be Denied for this organization unit. For more information, see Steps for Denying an Inherited Organization Unit Role. |

The Indicator tab opens a screen where processing settings are established. These settings can be changed by authorized users to customize the functionality of the system. Indicator options are stored on category cards to make them easier to locate. Click the card arrow to open the card and view the indicator options contained on that card. Indicator naming convention is as follows: Screen name + "Indicator" + Category name + Classification + Number Determines the type of system classification (e.g. Standard, Customer, User-Defined, or Replicated). For example, the Standard indicator on the Pay Group screen on the System category card that is listed First, is named Pay Group Indicator System Standard 1.
On the indicator screen, there are predefined options that the user can select from the right pane. There is a Default setting, which is the setting automatically assigned when a new record is created. The Default setting can be changed for the system in the Configuration section>System card>Indicator screen. From that point forward, all new records will get the default setting. Note: An updated default setting is not applied to any existing records. |

An inherited role is an authorization role that is indirectly assigned to an employee. This role is set up on any level of the Organization Unit screen>Roles section, and is automatically assigned to all employees whose Home labor distribution matches any of the levels of the organization unit. For example, if an employee belongs to a home labor distribution of Corporation A/Facility 1/Department 304/ Unit 1, he or she will "inherit" all the roles set up in the Organization Unit screen for Corporation A and for Facility 1 and for Department 304 and for Unit 1. An inherited role can be overridden at the employee level by assigning the employee the same role but with a different level of access (grant, deny or pass through).
