Pay Policies
Pay policies are sets of rules that govern how employee hours are interpreted, including rounding of punches, overtime accrual, and holiday credit earnings, as well as the processing of time and attendance information through components like pay codes and work rules.
Work Rule Building Blocks
Work rule building blocks are sets of parameters that control time and attendance functions. A building block can be used in multiple work rules. For example, if different groups of employees share the same Punch Round rule, use the round rule in the work rule assigned to each group.
Auto-resolved exceptions
When an employee has missing time, which is scheduled time that was not worked, you can configure Auto-resolved exception rules to resolve the missing time.

    - Adjustment Rules
      Adjustment Rules can be used to adjust wages or pay bonuses based on time entered in the timecard.
    - Percent Allocation Rules
      Percent Allocation rules allocate employee time across multiple labor categories, based on a selection criterion (labor category, cost center, or pay code). The rules are based on a pre-defined percentage distribution.
    - Cascading Profiles
      Cascading profiles contain cascading policies, which define the paycodes used to trigger cascading accrual takings.

    - Holiday Profiles
      Holiday Profiles allow you to assign holidays, holiday credit rules, and zone rules to employees outside of pay rules and work rules.
    - Pay Rules
      Pay rules control how time and attendance information is processed for each employee.
    - Holiday Credit Rules
      Holiday credit rules specify the requirements for holiday credits and how holiday credits are calculated.
    - Holidays
      The Holidays page enables you to create a list of all the holidays used within your organization without regard to location, employees, and so forth.
    - Work Rules
      Work rules are combinations of work rule building blocks that apply specific pay rules to shifts. These rules determine how employee hours accrue. For details about the work rule building blocks, see Configure Work Rule building blocks.
    - Pay Rule Building Blocks
      Pay rule building blocks are constant within payroll policies; they are not shift-dependent. Pay rule building blocks include:
    - Holiday Credit Rules Building Blocks
      The Holiday Credit Rules Building Blocks are used for defining and configuring holidays.
    - Work Rule Building Blocks
      Work rule building blocks are sets of parameters that control time and attendance functions. A building block can be used in multiple work rules. For example, if different groups of employees share the same Punch Round rule, use the round rule in the work rule assigned to each group.
      - Paycode Distributions
        Paycode distribution rules specify how employees are paid for time other than their regular time, based on combination rules.
      - Combination Rules
        Combination rules tell the system how to pay employees when conditions, such as overtime, overlap. Combinations can include overtimes, zones, schedule deviations, and Rest Between Shift (RBS) rules.
      - Majorities
        Majority rules apply a single hour type to shifts when employees qualify for more than one zone. The zone hour type with the most hours is applied to the entire shift. You can include the regular zone type in the majority calculations.
      - Zones
        Zones define special intervals of time as hour types, such as Evening and Weekend, when employees can earn shift differentials.
      - Overtimes
      - Rest Between Shifts
        Use Rest Between Shifts rules to specify premium pay for time worked during an expected rest period.
      - Schedule Deviations
        Schedule deviations are special differentials that employees earn when they work before or after their scheduled times, or for shifts that are unscheduled. Define a rule for each situation to specify a different paycode in which to pay each hour type.
      - Call-ins
        Call-In rules specify how employees are compensated when they are on call, called back to work, or both. When configuring call-ins, the following distinction is important:
      - Bonus and Deductions
        Bonuses and deductions are amounts that are automatically added to or deducted from timecards.
      - Auto-resolved exceptions
        When an employee has missing time, which is scheduled time that was not worked, you can configure Auto-resolved exception rules to resolve the missing time.
      - Breaks
        Break rules are used when employees punch for any type of break or meal. They specify when a punch qualifies as a break and how the punch rounds.
      - Core Hours
        Core Hour rules define time ranges that employees are expected to work.
      - Exceptions
        Exceptions are flags in timecards, reports, and Dataviews that identify when shifts deviate from normal work patterns. Use exceptions to identify employees who arrive early or late, forget to punch out, and so on.
      - Shift Guarantees
        Shift guarantees are amounts of time that employees earn even if they work less time.
      - Punch Round Rules
        Rounding is a way to simplify payroll accounting and reporting, and to enforce shift start and end times. Punch rounds divide hours into equal segments of an hour.
      - Interval Round Rules
        An Interval Round rule applies a round and a grace to the entire amount of time.
    - Paycodes
      Paycodes organize time or money that employees earn, and identify spans of time for payroll purposes.

Auto-resolved exceptions

When an employee has missing time, which is scheduled time that was not worked, you can configure Auto-resolved exception rules to resolve the missing time.

Missing time includes late-in, early-out, long break, core hours violations, and unexcused absences. For example, if an employee is scheduled to work 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the scheduled time is 8:00 hours. Any deviation is considered missing time.

If an employee’s work rule contains an Auto-Resolved Exception rule, the system automatically resolves missing time. Missing time exceptions are indicated in the timecard and then employees, managers, or both must review (or justify) each instance of missing time.

Note:

Missing time is automatically considered unjustified.
In the timecard, employees can select a duration paycode to justify the missing time.
If the duration paycode selected by the employee requires approval, the missing time remains unjustified until the manager approves the request for justification.
Employees can charge the missing time against accrued benefit time.
The missing time might or might not be paid.
