Has Insufficient Rest Condition
com.workbrain.app.ta.conditions.HasInsufficientRestCondition
The Has Insufficient Rest Condition checks whether an employee lacks sufficient rest between their last work segment on the previous work summary day and their first work segment on the current work summary day being calculated.
For example, the collective bargaining agreement for a union states that an employee is due a premium of $25 when they are called back into work less than 8 hours after they have concluded their previous shift. Under this agreement, an employee who works from 15:00 to 23:00 on Friday and comes back into work at 6:00 on Saturday morning should receive the premium. An employee who comes back into work at 7:00 on Saturday should not receive the premium.
Parameters In
| Name | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rest Minutes | String (numeric) | The number of minutes to compare against the end of the employee's last work segment on the previous calculation date and the start of their work segment on the calculation date. | 480 |
| Yesterday Must Worked Minutes | Integer | Optional value that indicates the minimum number of minutes the
employee must have recorded on the previous calculation date for the condition to
return a true result. If defined, and the employee has not worked enough minutes
yesterday, the condition will return false regardless of how much rest the employee
has had. This includes time recorded against all work details as specified in the Time Codes and Hour Types parameters. |

| Min Consecutive Worked Minutes | Integer | Optional. Used in conjunction with the Yesterday Must Worked
Minutes parameter to indicate the minimum number of consecutive minutes the employee
must have recorded on the previous calculation date for the condition to return a
true result. Note: Only the consecutive minutes of the last eligible work detail on
the previous calculation date are considered.

| Hour Types | DBLookup | List of hour types that mark work details as eligible for consideration (if the Hour Types Inclusive? parameter is selected) or ineligible (if the Hour Types Inclusive? parameter is not selected). If this parameter is left blank, all hour types are eligible. | REG,OT1 |

Example: Check for minimum work minutes
In this example, an employee that has less than 8 hours of rest between shifts on consecutive days does not meet the company's defined rest period. To qualify for the minimum rest period, the employee must have worked at least 240 minutes (4 hours) on the previous day. Only the WRK time code is eligible for consideration.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Rest Minutes | 480 |
| Yesterday Must Worked Minutes | 240 |
| Min Consecutive Worked Minutes | 1 |
| Time Codes | WRK |
| Time Codes Inclusive? | Selected |
| Hour Types | REG,OT1 |
| Hour Types Inclusive? | Selected |
For example, an employee has these worked records (prior to any rules applied):
| Work Date | Start Time | End Time | Time Code | Hour Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 8, 2018 | 19:00 | 23:00 | WRK | REG |
| February 9, 2018 | 6:00 | 12:00 | WRK | REG |
On February 8, the employee worked a half shift. Because the employee worked the minimum number of work time (240 minutes), they qualify for the minimum rest period.
As the employee received only 7 hours of rest between the end of the last segment of time on February 8 and the start of the first segment on February 9, the condition returns true.
Example: Check for minimum and consecutive work minutes
In this example, an employee that has less than 8 hours of rest between shifts on consecutive days does not meet the company's defined rest period. To qualify for the minimum rest period, the employee must have worked at least 480 minutes (8 hours) on the previous day and worked at least 300 consecutive minutes (5 hours). Only the WRK time code is eligible for consideration.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Rest Minutes | 480 |
| Yesterday Must Worked Minutes | 480 |
| Min Consecutive Worked Minutes | 300 |
| Time Codes | WRK |
| Time Codes Inclusive? | Selected |
| Hour Types | REG,OT1 |
| Hour Types Inclusive? | Selected |
For example, an employee has these worked records (prior to any rules applied):
| Work Date | Start Time | End Time | Time Code | Hour Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 8, 2018 | 11:00 | 15:00 | WRK | REG |
| 15:00 | 19:00 | GAP | UNPAID | |
| 19:00 | 23:00 | WRK | REG | |
| February 9, 2018 | 6:00 | 12:00 | WRK | REG |
On February 8, the employee worked two separate 4-hour work segments as part of a split shift. Although the employee worked the minimum number of work time (480 minutes) on February 8, they did not work the defined minimum consecutive time (300 minutes). Therefore, the employee does not qualify for the minimum rest period and is considered to have automatically achieved sufficient rest.
As the employee does not qualify for the minimum rest period, the condition returns false.
Example: Check for multiple qualifying time codes
In this example, an employee that has less than 8 hours of rest between shifts on consecutive days does not meet the company's defined rest period. To qualify for the minimum rest period, the employee must have worked at least 480 minutes (8 hours) on the previous day. Only the WRK and TRN time codes are eligible for consideration.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Rest Minutes | 480 |
| Yesterday Must Worked Minutes | 480 |
| Min Consecutive Worked Minutes | 1 |
| Time Codes | WRK,TRN |
| Time Codes Inclusive? | Selected |
| Hour Types | REG,OT1 |
| Hour Types Inclusive? | Selected |
For example, an employee has these worked records (prior to any rules applied):
| Work Date | Start Time | End Time | Time Code | Hour Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 8, 2018 | 15:00 | 19:00 | TRN | REG |
| 19:00 | 23:00 | WRK | REG | |
| February 9, 2018 | 6:00 | 12:00 | WRK | REG |
On February 8, the employee took training for half a day, and then worked as usual for the rest of their shift. Because the time charged against all qualifying time codes meets the defined minimum time worked (480 minutes), the employee qualifies for the minimum rest period.
As the employee received only 7 hours of rest between shifts on consecutive days, the condition returns true.
