Apply Pay Rules

The application of Pay Rules involves the processing of ATTENDANCE data to compute Regular, Overtime, and Double Time hours. The Pay Rules are retrieved from the employee's home Pay Rule as defined in EMPLOYEE_FACILITY.PayRule.

Daily Calculations

The daily calculations involve the items described below.

Work Shift and Work Period Rules

The daily Work Shift and Work Period rules are retrieved from the ATTENDANCE record from one of the sources below, in the following order:

1. EMPLOYEE_WORK_SCHEDULE (a temporary schedule record)
2. EMPLOYEE_FACILITY.RotatingWorkSchedule
3. EMPLOYEE_FACILITY.WorkShift and WorkPeriod

Attendance Variances

The attendance record is adjusted for start (early, late) and stop (early, late) variances. If the Pay Rule’s Use Shift Windows attribute is true (1), the variances are read from the Work Shift. If the Use Shift Window attribute is false (0), the variances are read from the Work Period.

Attendance Break Variances

The attendance break record is adjusted for start (early, late), and stop (early, late) variances. If the Pay Rule’s Use Shift Windows attribute is true (1), the variances are read from Work Shift Break. If the Use Shift Windows attribute is false (0), the variances are read from the Work Period Break.

Clock Tick Attendance

The attendance record is adjusted for the Clock Tick setting. Time stamps (start, stop) are adjusted backward based on the Clock Tick setting. A Clock Tick is the number of minutes that must pass before the clock advances. If the Clock Tick is set to 6 minutes, all times will fall on 6 minute increments (e.g., 07:00, 07:06, 07:12, 07:18, etc.).

Clock Tick Attendance Break

The attendance break record is adjusted for the Clock Tick. Time stamps (start, stop) are adjusted backwards based on the Clock Tick setting. A Clock Tick is the number of minutes that must pass before the clock advances. If the Clock Tick is set to 6 minutes, all times will fall on 6 minute increments (e.g., 07:00, 07:06, 07:12, 07:18, etc.).

Calculate Attendance

The total hours for each attendance is calculated here.

Total Hours = (adjusted stop time – adjusted start time) – total break hours:

• Adjusted stop time – ATTENDANCE.AdjustedStopTime
• Adjusted start time – ATTENDANCE.AdjustedStartTime
• Total Break Hours – the sum of all the attendance break Regular hours
• The break records should belong to the attendance, and WORK_SHIFT_BREAK.PayForBreak should be false (0)
• If WORK_SHIFT_BREAK.PayForBreak is true (1), Total Break Hours = 0

Daily Attendance Overtime

Daily Overtime rules are applied to the attendance records for the Payday. If an attendance record has Calculation Overridden set to true, the record’s hours will not be recomputed. However, if the Pay Rule’s Include Override in Calculations attribute is true (1), the attendance record’s hours will be used for computing other attendance records for the day.

Pay Period Calculations

The Pay Period calculations involve the following items:

• The Pay Period Work Shift and Work Period rules are retrieved from the EMPLOYEE table
• Adjusted stop time – ATTENDANCE.AdjustedStopTime
• EMPLOYEE_FACILITY.WorkShift and WorkPeriod
• Weekend Overtime rules
• Weekend Overtime rules are applied only to Saturday and Sunday attendance records
• Pay Period Overtime attendance
• Pay Period Overtime rules are applied to attendance records for the Pay Period: if an attendance record has Calculation Overridden set to true, the record’s hours will not be recomputed, but if the Pay Rule’s Include Override In Calculation attribute is true (1), the attendance record’s hours will be used for computing other attendance records for the Pay Period
• Daily Holiday Multiplier attendance
• The pay as Regular, Overtime, or Double Time setting that is applied to the holiday attendance records
