Schedule costing examples
These examples demonstrate how differences can occur between the schedule cost displayed and the actual cost. These differences can be caused by the configuration or by changes between the planned schedule and the executed schedule. The examples list the schedule cost that would be displayed in MVS and the actual cost, which can be viewed in the Supervisor Approval Worksheet.
These details are configured for all the examples:
- The employee is scheduled to shifts on Monday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- The employee is paid for the full eight hours of each shift.
- The employee has a base rate of $20 an hour.
- The hourly average rate for the employee's job is $15.
- The employee's calculation group has a Shift Premium Zone rule that pays time and a half (an extra 50%) on Sundays.
Example: Schedule cost estimated by hourly rate
In this example, MVS_PAY_RULE_BASED_SCHED_COST_CALC is set to false. In MVS, costs are calculated based on hourly rates without adjustments from pay rules.
