  The SAP error message HRPAYAT_3347010, which states "Weekly working time must be reduced by at least 25%," typically occurs in the context of payroll processing or employee time management within the SAP HR module. This error is often related to the configuration of working time models or the specific settings for an employee's working hours.
  Cause:
  
  
  Working Time Configuration: The employee's working time is set in such a way that it does not comply with the required reduction in hours. For example, if an employee is supposed to reduce their working hours due to a specific reason (like parental leave, part-time work, etc.), the system checks if the reduction meets the minimum requirement of 25%.
  
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be incorrect or incomplete data entered in the employee's master data regarding their working hours or time management settings.
  
  
  Legal or Organizational Policies: The error may arise from compliance with specific legal or organizational policies that mandate a minimum reduction in working hours under certain circumstances.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Employee's Working Time: Check the employee's working time settings in the SAP system. Ensure that the weekly working hours are set correctly and that any required reductions are applied.
  
  
  Adjust Working Hours: If the employee's working hours need to be reduced, adjust them to ensure that the reduction is at least 25% of their standard working hours. For example, if the standard working time is 40 hours per week, the new working time should be at most 30 hours per week.
  
  
  Check Time Management Settings: Verify the time management settings for the employee. Ensure that any relevant infotypes (like IT0007 - Planned Working Time) are correctly filled out.
  
  
  Consult with HR or Payroll: If you are unsure about the correct working time settings or the reason for the reduction, consult with your HR or payroll department for guidance.
  
  
  System Configuration: If the issue persists, it may be necessary to check the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that they align with organizational policies and legal requirements.
