Configuring the Daylight Savings Rule
The rule must be reconfigured for employees in locations that do not use DST.
To configure the Daylight Saving Rule:
- Go to the Quick Rule Editor.
- Select the calculation group.
- In the left-side panel, click Daylight Saving Rule.
-
Specify these parameters:
- Employee Timezone: GMT-07:00N
- Premium Time Code: BONUS
- Pay Representation: Hour Types
These parameters can vary depending on the time zone and the premium time code.
- Click Apply.
- In the Condition Sets area, click Edit.
- In the Description field, describe the time zone (for example, AZ for Arizona).
- In the Condition lookup, select Is Employee Property Generic Condition, and click Apply.
-
In the
Expression String field,
specify
tzId=6.
This value should match the TZ_ID value from the TIMEZONE table. In this case, 6 is the America/Phoenix time zone.
- Click Apply.
-
Configure a separate condition set for each distinct time zone
that does not observe DST (for example, one for Arizona and one for Hawaii).
To add a new condition set:
- Click New Condition Set at the bottom right.
- Enter the description of the time zone (for example, NV for Nevada).
- Click Add Condition.
- Repeat steps 8-10, this time specifying the TZ_ID for the next time zone that you want to configure.
-
Configure the rule (for example, Hawaii):
- Employee Timezone: GMT-10:00N
- Premium Time Code: BONUS
- Pay Representation: Hour Types
- Click Apply.
- Save the calculation group.
- Repeat the previous steps for each affected calculation group.
