What is duration-based time recording in SAP LOD-SF-EC - Employee Central?

SAP Term: duration-based time recording

• Component: LOD-SF-EC

• Component Name: Employee Central

• Description: A method of time recording based solely on the duration of the work recorded for a specific period, for example, in hours and minutes for a given day of work. Start and end times of the recorded time are not considered. With duration-based time recording, the work schedule does not specify breaks. Breaks cannot be recorded by an employee using this time recording variant because such time types cannot be assigned to the employee’s time profile. Therefore, duration-based recorded times are always considered as net times, that is, excluding breaks.

• Key Concepts: 
  Duration-based time recording is a feature of SAP’s Employee Central module that allows employees to record their working hours in terms of duration rather than start and end times. This feature allows for more accurate tracking of employee hours and can be used to calculate overtime, vacation, and other types of time off. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use duration-based time recording, employees must first enter their start and end times for each day they work. Once this information is entered, the system will automatically calculate the total duration of the employee’s shift. This information can then be used to calculate overtime, vacation, and other types of time off. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using duration-based time recording, it is important to ensure that all start and end times are accurately entered. This will ensure that the system calculates the correct duration for each shift and that any overtime or other types of time off are accurately calculated.
