Business Example 2 - Award Premium Rule

This example covers the business need where employees are paid premiums whenever they work on a day off. The duration of the premium varies from employee to employee. The premium is 10% of the employee’s regular shift length.

Configuration

Condition: Is Weekend Day Condition

Rule parameters:

Parameter Value
Time Code PRM
Hour Type REG
Generate premium minutes from REGSHIFT selected in the Employee UDF option
UDF/Employee Value Multiplier 0.1

Additional configuration:

On each employee's configuration page (Maintenance > Employees > Employee > Details), the REGSHIFT UDF contains the duration (in minutes) of the employee's regular shift.

Results

In this example result, the employee's regular shift is 5 hours in length (300 minutes in the REGSHIFT UDF). The employee works 6 hours on Monday, one of their days off.

On Monday, the rule's condition evaluates to true and the rule fires. The rule pays the employee a premium. Since the UDF/Employee Value Multiplier parameter's value is 0.1, the rule pays the employee a 30 minute premium (the employee's REGSHIFT value of 300 multiplied by 0.1).

The premium is paid against the employee’s default labor allocations.
