• Experience building and modifying time and attendance policies, calculations, profiles, pay codes, banks, notifications, or related configuration components.
• Experience with configuration migration, unit testing, defect correction, deployment, and post-production support.

Mandatory training and product credentials

• Successful completion or valid certification in Time Advanced Configuration (TIME301), with evidence provided before profile submission. TIME301 focuses on translating requirements into configuration changes using the Policy Editor and applying practices that protect existing configuration and system performance.
• Time Complex Configuration (TIME401) is strongly preferred for candidates expected to build new or complex functionality.

Key responsibilities

• Solution design review
• Review approved business requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and the Solution Design Document.
• Determine the most appropriate configuration approach using ADP WorkForce Suite standards and reusable design principles.
• Identify missing design details, configuration dependencies, performance considerations, and regression risks before starting the build.
• Collaborate with the Functional Consultant to resolve ambiguity and confirm expected system behavior.
• Application configuration
• Configure new functionality and modify existing configuration in the ADP WorkForce Suite environment.
• Build or amend policies, profiles, pay codes, banks, calculations, notifications, employee groups, and related components appropriate to the approved design.
• Where qualified, support complex calculations, labor distribution, policy profiles, and WorkForce Software Formula Language constructs.
• Avoid unnecessary customization and duplication by using standard or reusable configuration patterns wherever practical.
• Maintain configuration documentation and traceability between the requirement, design, build object, and test evidence.
• Unit and functional testing support
• Perform unit testing against approved requirements, acceptance criteria, and solution designs.
• Test positive, negative, boundary, exception, and regression scenarios.
• Document results and hand over a validated build to functional and quality-assurance teams.
• Investigate defects found during functional testing, system integration testing, quality assurance, user acceptance testing, or payroll validation.
• Implement approved corrections and provide evidence for retesting.
• Change implementation
• Assess the configuration impact of approved changes.
• Provide technical-functional input into effort estimates and implementation plans.
• Update the affected configuration and associated documentation.
• Ensure that changes do not unintentionally alter existing policies, employee populations, calculations, or interfaces.
• Configuration migration and deployment
• Migrate approved configuration and policy components across environments.
• Conduct differential checks to confirm configuration consistency.
• Support configuration audits, deployment readiness reviews, production migration, and smoke testing.
• Support rollback planning and deployment validation in accordance with the agreed release process.
