Custodial, Housekeeping and Grounds are using Planned Payroll for Labor Reporting.
FAQs:
Are the trades using Labor Reporting? Yes.
Are the trades using Planned Payroll? No. Technicians will add time to work orders, benefit time, and premium pay on their iPads. The Shop Supervisors will use labor reporting to approve and adjust time in their shop as needed.
All supervisors can see all the employees in their group, i.e., all custodial supervisors can see all custodians.
When is the best time daily to work on the review and approval? It's best to work on the prior day since you need to ensure that everyone worked the planned schedule and didn't leave early.
Do I have to have a planned payroll defined for each staff member? No. If someone works in different locations every day, it may be easier to just enter their work in Labor Reporting. If you find yourself deleting labor rows a lot, you may want to consider asking Facilities Payroll to remove them from the planned payroll work order(s).
Do I have to review one person at a time, or can I review everyone at once? This is up to you, although you may find it easier to review one person at a time.
Which pay codes need a work order associated? Regular, Overtime, Double Time, and Worked Holiday
What if I'm off, can someone else approve my staff's payroll? Yes. You need to contact Facilities IT in order to have your backup assigned to your shop.
Can I change an employee's payroll after Facilities Payroll has approved? No. You'll need to contact Facilities Payroll to adjust.
Can I see a prior week's payroll if changes have been made? Yes. Use the available queries to ensure you've approved all current and retro pay.
Can I see what Facilities Payroll has not processed yet? Yes. Use the query 7. Payroll Unapproved Fiscal Year up to current Pay Week
Does Facilities Payroll still need to enter time into PeopleSoft Time & Labor? Yes. Facilities Payroll will use Maximo to validate the time clock punches for the employees as well as enter any benefit and/or premium pay.
Does Maximo "know" how many benefit hours an employee has remaining? No. You must refer to the Friday report to determine if an employee has available benefit time. Facilities Payroll will send the transaction back to you if PeopleSoft Time & Labor indicates there an employee is out of a particular benefit type.
What if I don't want to see the records I already approved, is there a filter to remove these? Yes. In the SA column set the filter to 0 (zero). 1=approved, 0=unapproved.
Do I still have to review the time clock to ensure staff are not reporting in late? Supervisors should still be using the Time Clock (Time Clock PLUS) to validate time worked

Planned Payroll Setup
Employee Work Week
- This is setup by Facilities Payroll when the staff person is hired.
- Any changes must be communicated to Facilities payroll as soon as the schedule change is known by the supervisor.
- Each employee labor record will contain their schedule (same as in PeopleSoft Time & Labor) and days of the week they are scheduled.
Standing Work Orders, a.k.a. PP Work Orders (PP=Planned Payroll)
- There is a PP work order for each building for Custodial and Housekeeping.
- There is a PP work order for each grounds activity for Grounds.
Example of a planned payroll custodial work order for Schine Student Center:
- Facilities Payroll will assign staff to the building for the hours they typically work in that location during a single day.
The combination of the employee scheduled days of the weeks and planned payroll work orders will generate a labor record for the staff member.
Supervisor Review and Approval of Labor
- Supervisors should review their staff's payroll hours on a daily basis.
- Supervisors must compare the hours from the Time Clock to the hours in Maximo.
- Any adjustments to the planned hours must be changed in the Labor Reporting app.
- Any Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) pay, benefit time, refused overtime, or absent time must be added in the Labor Reporting app.
- The supervisor will need to approve any time entered before Facilities Payroll can process
