Exception time rules and offset time records

Exception time rules specify which pay codes are considered exception time. An offset time record must be created for each pay code that is considered to be exception time.

Exception time rules are often used for employees with standard time records who also have time records for paid time off such as vacation or sick time. These rules ensure employees are not overpaid.

An exception time rule is defined by an eligibility group. Create eligibility groups that have mutually exclusive conditions so that an employee meets the criteria for only one group. If a rule is defined and an eligibility group has not been entered, the rule applies to all employees who do not meet the criteria of an eligibility group on another exception time rule.

HR Payroll uses these rules to create offset time records for individual employees on a case-by-case basis. These rules are often used for employees with a standard hours schedule who also have time records for paid time off such as vacation or sick time.
