A Labor Schedule can be defined as a collection of future charging instructions that specify how
a payment should be distributed for a given employee. Charging instructions are for General
Ledger accounts linked to PTAEO combinations in Oracle Grants Management. Schedules are
established for specific time periods and represent the percentage of the pay amount to be
charged to the specified PTAEO(s). Labor Schedules may be established for any period of time
in the future. Once payroll is run for the time period, a labor schedule cannot be changed.
Future charging instructions include a current pay period that has not yet been processed.
Oracle Labor Distribution does not determine whether or not an employee will be paid. The pay
type and frequency of pay is determined in HRMS; hours are posted in OTM as appropriate. The
Labor Distribution schedule is relevant only if there is pay to be distributed.
Copyright © 2001 University of Virginia and Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Oracle Labor Distribution (LD) supports a hierarchical approach to determining the charging
instructions for incoming labor transactions. Transactions from the payroll process are imported
into LD immediately after the payroll is completed. These transactions record the employee,
assignment and earnings element for each amount the employee was paid.
LD begins searching for a labor schedule at the bottom of the hierarchy and moves upward until
finding a labor schedule for either the employee or for the organization.
Global Earnings Element labor schedule is at the lowest level of the schedule hierarchy. This
level is currently NOT being used at the University.
The first level being used at the University is the employee assignment level. When scheduling
labor for an individual employee in LD you will choose among three levels of the hierarchy
within the employee assignment level: the Earnings Element Level, the Element Group Level and
the Assignment Level. If no schedule is defined at one of these levels, LD will move upward to
the next level in the schedule hierarchy.
The Earnings Element Level Labor Schedule allows users to create labor schedules for
individual earnings elements. A labor schedule of this type is used to distribute all earnings
against a particular element for a specified employee assignment. Labor schedules defined
Copyright © 2001 University of Virginia and Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Example: Regular Salary, Regular Wages, Time and a Half Overtime. This means
that LD can distribute an employee's time and a half overtime to a different PTAEO(s)
than the employee's regular salary.
Element Groups are used to group earnings elements. The Element Group Level Labor
Schedule allows users to create one labor schedule that applies to all earnings elements in a
specified element group. The earnings elements within the specified element group are
scheduled and distributed based on the specified PTAEO(s) for an employee/assignment.
For example, an element group has been established to group all earnings elements that
capture overtime. The user could enter a labor schedule to distribute overtime to a different
account than regular salary. Labor schedules defined at the Element Group Level take
precedence over labor schedules defined at the Assignment and Organization Default Labor
Schedule levels.
The Assignment Level Labor Schedule allows users to create one labor schedule that
applies to all earnings elements that may be paid to an employee assignment.
When a labor schedule is entered at the Earnings Element level and/or the Element Group level,
any remaining pay which is not scheduled at the Assignment, Element Group or Earnings
Element level, is charged to the Organization Default Labor Schedule Account.
Example: A labor schedule is entered at the Earnings Element level for time and a
half overtime pay. All other pay, if not scheduled at another level with the schedule
hierarchy, will be charged to the Organization Default Labor Schedule account.
There are three levels included within the organization level: the Organization Level Default
Labor Schedule, the Organization Default Account and the Organization Suspense Account.
The Organization Level Default Labor Schedule allows users to create labor schedule
lines for each organization. Users can create one labor schedule set for that unique
organization that applies to all assignment and the earnings elements associated with
employees belonging to that organization.
Example: A single labor schedule is created for the Budget Office. All employee
assignments with an organization of Budget Office and labor schedule set at the
Organization Level Default Labor Schedule use the labor schedule defined for the
organization of Budget Office. The user does not have to individually create a labor
schedule for each employee assignment that is attached to the Budget Office.
The Organization Level Default Account is currently NOT being used at the University
The Organization Level Suspense Account has been designated to identify a unique
PTAEO for each organization to collect costs from labor distribution if charging instructions
at all lower levels of the schedule hierarchy, including the Organization Level Default Labor
Copyright © 2001 University of Virginia and Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Each organization has designated one project number that is unique for labor suspense
charges only.
For employees without a defined assignment, element group or element type labor schedule, LD
will identify the organization on the employee assignment (the appointment hiring department)
and use the organization default labor schedule recorded for that organization.
Finally, if no schedules are identified at the Organization Level Default Labor Schedule level of
the hierarchy, the amount will be charged against the Organization Suspense Account. LD
insures that all amounts paid to employees are accounted for in the university’s financial records.

Oracle Labor Distribution allows the user to record organization default labor schedules to
facilitate the process of setting up schedules for employee assignments. If an employee
assignment should be distributed to the organization default labor schedule, a labor schedule
does not need to be entered for the employee. LD will automatically select the organization
default labor schedule for the employee assignment organization.
Organization level hierarchy values can be established for each child organization. LD compares
the organization on the employee assignment with the organization level hierarchies defined to
select a value. It works upward, starting with the employee labor schedule, moving to the
organization default labor schedule and ending with the organization suspense account. Once the
process finds a hierarchy level labor schedule, LD will use that labor schedule for any pay
amounts it needs to distribute. Thus, users should carefully evaluate the overall labor charging
instructions for the organization to identify the best hierarchy level to define. You may define
multiple levels of the hierarchy for an employee, but only the first appropriate active level will
be used during a distribution.

For example: A single organization default labor schedule is created for the Budget Office. All
assignments with an organization of Budget Office and without an employee level labor schedule
will use the organization default labor schedule defined for the organization of the Budget
Office. The user does not have to individually create a labor schedule for each employee
assignment that is attached to the Budget Office.

Creating Labor Schedules
A labor schedule specifies how an employee’s pay is to be distributed to PTAEO(s) in Oracle
Grants Management. Each payroll is distributed according to the schedule lines in effect for the
payroll period. An employee can have an unlimited number of schedule lines.
The sum of the percentage for all schedule lines for a given period cannot exceed 100%.
Percentages may be less than 100% for future periods, but must equal 100% for the current
period or the organization suspense account will be charged for the remainder.
If no labor schedule is entered for a period of time, the organization default labor schedule will
be used if defined at the organization; otherwise, the organization suspense account will be used.
This feature allows the user to enter schedule information, as it becomes known, instead of
retaining the information off-line until the current period.

Important Notes
You will never enter a new employee in Oracle LD. You will always [Find] the employee.
When pay is imported into Oracle Labor Distribution the total amount is spread evenly over the
payroll time period. Therefore, for wage employees the pay amount may not necessarily reflect
the total hours worked on specified days but will be evenly distributed throughout the payroll
period in which the employee worked.
If an employee is terminated from UVa, do not end the labor schedule with the last day worked
unless it is the last day of the pay period. Do not end the labor schedule if the employee will
receive leave payouts.
If a grant ends prior to the last day of a pay period, and no other schedule is set up, the remaining
days in the pay period will be charged to the suspense account.
You can delete a labor schedule if no payroll has run on the schedule.
You can change or add an end date to a labor schedule using the last day of the last payroll that
has been processed.
Always be sure that you set up the labor schedule for the correct assignment. Refer to the
Discoverer Employee Assignments Report, or view the assignments in Oracle HRMS.
Labor schedules for Temp employees can be changed in Oracle LD. The initiator should send an
e-mail notification to Temp Services indicating the revised PTAEO combination along with the
effective date(s).

The choices in the "Adjust by" box refer to the type of pay (Regular or Premium) and
expenditure types that were distributed for the dates identified for the adjustment. If only
one expenditure type was distributed, the Assignment level may be used. If only one group
- Regular or Premium pay was distributed, then Element Group may be used. However, if
the employee was paid any combination of expenditure types you must select Element in the
"Adjust by" box. This is the only way the auto pop rules will work.
Line items that are distributed by the same name element and the same expenditure type
may be transferred at the same time. If you select line items that are not from the same
element, you will get an error message.

appropriate PTAEO combination to specify new charging instructions in the following
fields:
− Project
− Task
− Award
− Organization
− Expenditure Type
The Expenditure Type will populate automatically according to Auto Population rules.
However, if the adjustment has a start date prior to Phase II, and an end date after Phase II,
you are expected to manually select the expenditure type.
If you select [Amount], do not enter a plus (+) sign in front of the value.
Once the record is frozen, changes cannot be made. You must freeze the record before
selecting a different PTAEO from the Actual Distributions region or before you submit the
action.
12. Repeat steps 5-10 to for each PTAEO you want to adjust.
13. Continue entering PTAEOs until you have compensated for 100% of each credit PTAEO.
You will get an error message if the distribution amount is not equal to 100%.
If you are adjusting less than 100% of the original distribution line to another PTAEO, you
must re-charge the remaining amount to the existing PTAEO.
