Assigning rules to calculation groups
Rules are the building blocks that form your organization’s payroll and business policies. They determine when employees earn overtime and premiums, how many hours of work employees are guaranteed, and a variety of other policies.
See Rules and conditions.
Each rule within the application has a set of parameters that determine the rule’s behavior.
With different parameters and condition sets, you can reuse a single rule across various calculation groups by modifying the parameters that are required for each group. For example, if the Part time Union A group of employees earn overtime after working eight hours a day and the Full time No Union group of employees earn overtime after working ten hours a day, they are both assigned the Daily Overtime Rule, but with different condition sets.
You assign as many rules to calculation groups as you require to reflect the applicable business rules and pay logic. After assigning a rule, you must define the condition sets and parameters that describe when and how to apply the rule. You can also assign multiple instances of the same rule within a calculation group should your business needs dictate.
The rule is assigned to the calculation group. Each new rule requires parameters to determine how the rule is applied to the employee under different circumstances. The rule’s condition sets determine the different circumstances.
