• Key Concepts: 
  Time credit is a feature of SAP's Time Management component that allows employees to accumulate time credits for overtime worked. Employees can then use these credits to take time off from work, such as vacation days or sick days. The time credits are tracked in the system and can be used to calculate the employee's total hours worked and overtime pay. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  Time credits are managed in the Time Management component of SAP. To set up time credits, an administrator must first create a time credit type in the system. This type will define how many hours of overtime must be worked in order to earn a credit, as well as how many credits can be accumulated and used. Once the type is created, employees can begin to accumulate time credits for overtime worked. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up time credit types, it is important to consider the needs of the organization and its employees. For example, if employees are expected to work long hours, it may be beneficial to set up a type that allows them to accumulate more credits for overtime worked. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the types are set up correctly so that employees can easily track their time credits and use them when needed.
