• Key Concepts: 
  Core time is a feature of SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows an organization to define a set of core working hours for its employees. Core time is used to define the standard working hours for an employee, and any hours worked outside of these core hours are considered overtime. Core time can also be used to define the maximum number of hours an employee can work in a given period. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Core time is set up in the SAP system by defining the core working hours for each employee. This can be done by setting up a core time profile, which defines the start and end times for each day of the week. Once this is done, the system will automatically calculate any overtime worked by an employee based on their core time profile. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up core time profiles, it is important to ensure that they are accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that employees are not overworked or underpaid for their overtime hours. It is also important to ensure that any changes to core time profiles are communicated to employees in a timely manner.
