To achieve a weekly overtime calculation on a bi-weekly time card, the system configuration must distinguish between the time entry period and the time calculation period. The time entry layout should be configured with a bi-weekly repeating period, as this aligns with the user-facing bi-weekly time card. The time calculation rules, which process the entered time, must be associated with a weekly repeating period. This ensures that overtime thresholds are evaluated and their accumulators are reset on a seven-day cycle, correctly calculating overtime for each distinct week within the larger bi-weekly pay period. Customizing the WFMTHRESHOLDTIMECALCULATIONRULEAP formula is the appropriate method for implementing specific or complex logic within a threshold rule.

A. This is incorrect because it specifies a weekly repeating period for the time entry layout, which contradicts the requirement for a bi-weekly time card.

B. Using a bi-weekly repeating period for the time calculation rules is incorrect. It would cause the overtime accumulator to run for the full 14 days without resetting after the first week.

C. This is incorrect as this is a standard payroll requirement that is fully configurable within Oracle Time and Labor by using different repeating periods for layouts and rules.

Implementing Time and Labor (Release 23D)

Chapter: Time Rule Components

Section: Overview of Time Card and Time Calculation Rule Periods.

This document states

"You can define different repeating periods for the time card and time calculation rules. For example

you can have a biweekly time card period and a weekly rule set period to calculate weekly overtime." This directly supports the core logic of using a bi-weekly layout period and a weekly calculation period as described in the correct answer.

Implementing Time and Labor (Release 23D)

Chapter: Time Calculation Rules

Section: Time Calculation Rule Templates.

In the description of the "Threshold" rule template

the documentation explains that these rules "Compare a time event or the sum of hours for a period against a specified number of hours." It further clarifies that the period is determined by the repeating period associated with the rule set

validating the need for a weekly repeating period for the calculation rules.

Using Fast Formula (Release 23D)

Chapter: Time and Labor Formulas

Section: Formula Types.

This chapter details the various formula types. The "Time Calculation Rule" formula type

which includes the WFMTHRESHOLDTIMECALCULATIONRULEAP template

is specified for use with time calculation rules to "add complex logic to a rule." This confirms that customizing this formula is the correct approach for adding specific reset logic if required.
