Retrieval sequences

Retrieval sequences identify the business structure type for shift assignment, tip compliance rate, and meal budget allowance.

You can define two search orders, or sequences, for shift assignment and tip compliance rates. This allows for flexibility within the same site or location. For example, if a tip compliance rate is not found from the first search retrieval sequence, then the system looks in the second search order retrieval sequence. The retrieval sequence for tip compliance rates is used so that the appropriate rate is applied to the job (and shift, if specified) an employee worked.

Note: If you specify shift (using either Shift Punch In, Shift Punch Out, or Shift Actually Worked) as part of the search sequence for tip compliance rate, then you also need to specify the shift assignment sequence and have shift time settings configured. See Shift Time Settings.

For the meal budget retrieval sequence, the type selected for each sequence appears for selection when configuring the meal budget.

Configure retrieval sequence settings

  1. Within the Gaming application, go to Administration > Retrieval Sequences.
  2. Select a Location, and click Edit .
  3. On the Shift Assignment tab, select the business structure type for the retrieval sequence.
  4. On the Tip Compliance Rate tab, select the business structure type for the retrieval sequence. If different shifts have different rates, then you can select one of the following shift options as part of the sequence:
    • Shift Actually Worked— Uses the rates for the shifts that were worked. If the employee works seven hours, three hours for Shift 1 and four hours for Shift 2, then the rate for the hours associated with each shift is used.
    • Shift Punch In— Uses the shift rate associated with the punch in time.
    • Shift Punch Out— Uses the shift rate associated with the punch out time.

      If none of the shift options are selected in the retrieval sequence search order, then the rate is calculated on the basis of the search order sequence.

    Also set the Default Pay Code. The Default Pay Code is used when tip compliance is applied, unless a paycode is specified in the tip compliance rate table.

  5. On the Meal Budget tab, select the business structure type for retrieval sequence. For meal budgets that are configured to deduct an amount if the employee goes over their budget, select if the amount is recorded as Positive or Negative in the payroll system.
  6. Click Save.
