Building rules
Before you begin to build pay rules, you must answer these questions:
- Which groups of employees have the same set of business rules applied to them? For example, employees might be grouped by state or by union group.
- What rules are applied to describe employee pay policies?
- What are the sets of conditions that determine when specific rule parameters are used? For example, what are specific situations in which an employee qualifies for any variety of overtime?
- What values of the rule parameters are used to determine the specific behavior of a rule? For example, which time designations count toward overtime and which do not?
The process of building pay rules is accomplished in these steps:
- Create calculation groups
- Assign employees to calculation groups
- Assign rules to calculation groups
- Define condition sets and parameters for each rule
- Test the rule through the Daily or Weekly Timesheet
