Configuring the Day Light Saving rule

The rule must be reconfigured for employees in locations that do not use daylight saving time.

  1. In the Quick Rule Editor, specify a calculation group and click Go.
  2. Add the Day Light Saving rule if it has not already been added.
    See Assigning rules to calculation groups.
  3. In the rule list in the left panel, click Day Light Saving.
  4. Specify these parameters:
    Employee Timezone
    Specify the timezone that the rule applies to.
    Premium Time Code
    Specify the time zone to use for premiums.
    Pay Representation
    Select Rates or Hour Types.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Under Condition Sets, click Edit.
  7. Specify a description in the Description field.
  8. In the Condition lookup, select Is Employee Property Generic Condition and click Apply.
  9. In the Expression String field, specify the timezone ID.
    This value should match the TZ_ID value from the TIMEZONE table. For example, for the America/Phoenix timezone you would specify tzId=6.
  10. Click Apply.
  11. Click New Condition Set and configure a separate condition set for each timezone that does not observe DST, such as one for Arizona and one for Hawaii.
