Contributing Shifts

Contributing Shifts are used in a Holiday Credit Rule to determine which shifts prior to a holiday will be used to calculate average shifts or average wages. To create a contributing shift:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Application Setup > Pay Policies > Holiday Credit Rule Building Blocks > Contributing Shifts.
  2. Select a contributing shift from the list and click Edit or click New to create a new one.
  3. The Contributing Shifts Rule page is displayed. If creating a new contributing shift, give the rule a meaningful name.
    1. Complete the following fields:
      • Look back — Enter the time during which a shift will be considered a contributing shift.
        • From holiday or time off event — The look back time frame will end on the day before the holiday or time-off event.
        • Use time frame ending — The look back time frame will end on a specified day of the week that precedes the holiday or time-off event.
      • For example, with a Monday holiday and a 2-week look-back period ending on the previous Friday, the look-back time frame will end on the Friday before the holiday, and start on the Saturday 2 weeks before that Friday.
      • You can also specify that the time frame ends on the last day of the pay period preceding the holiday or time-off event.
      • Minimum Shift Length — Enter the minimum length of a shift in order for it to be a contributing shift. The value is in hh:mm format.
      • Contributing Paycodes — Select a previously configured Contributing Paycodes Rule to determine which paycodes will be considered.
      • Days of the week to include — Indicate how the days are considered:
        • All — Includes shifts that occur on all days of the week within the look-back time frame.
        • Day of week event falls on — Includes only shifts that occur on the days within the look-back time frame matching the day of the week of the holiday or time-off event.
        • For example, if you look back 4 weeks from a Monday holiday and use this option, only the shifts occurring on the four preceding Mondays will be considered contributing shifts
        • Specify — Includes only shifts that occur on the specified days of the week within the look-back time frame.
