• Key Concepts: 
  Reduced working hours is a feature of SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows employees to work fewer hours than their standard work schedule. This feature allows employers to reduce labor costs while still providing employees with the same level of pay. Employees can also use this feature to take time off for personal reasons or to attend to family matters. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  In order to use the reduced working hours feature, employers must first set up the reduced working hours in the SAP system. This can be done by entering the employee’s reduced working hours in the “Reduced Working Hours” field in the employee’s personnel record. Once this is done, the employee’s pay will be adjusted accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up reduced working hours, it is important to ensure that the employee’s pay is adjusted correctly. This can be done by entering the employee’s reduced working hours in the “Reduced Working Hours” field in the employee’s personnel record and then entering the appropriate pay rate for that period of time.
