Lead Hand Rule

Class Name

com.workbrain.app.ta.quicrules.LeadHandRule

Overview

Often, groups of employees who work together designate one of the employees as a lead hand or the "captain" of the team. The lead hand is responsible for ensuring that the team completes all tasks on time, puts away all tools, and so on. For their extra work, lead hands are often given a premium.

Parameters

Parameter Description
Eligible Time Codes Tells the application what time codes are eligible for consideration towards lead hand premium (only records with these time codes count towards the premium).
Lead Hand Field Tells the application to invoke the lead hand functionality and to examine this field to determine eligibility. Valid values for this field are null, wrkd_flag1..5, and wrks_flag1..10 (wrkd_flag1, wrkd_flag2, etc.).
Lead Hand Rate/Rate Type Tells the application how the rate should be paid. There are 3 rate types you can use:
  • Pure Rate ($): A Lead Hand Rate of 10 would mean 10 cents/hour.
  • Percentage of Base Rate: A Lead Hand Rate of 10 would mean 10 percent of the employee's base rate.
  • Percentage of Daily Rate: A Lead Hand Rate of 10 would mean 10 percent of the employee's daily rate as determined by summing all hours and dollars for Work_Detail records, where the time code is in the list of time codes in the Eligible Time Codes parameter, and dividing the dollars by the hours to determine an effective hourly rate.
Lead Hand Premium Code Tells the application what time code to use for the premium record that is inserted for the lead hand premium.
Note: When using a WRKS_FLAG for the Lead Hand Field parameter, the application can be configured so that a flag on the WORK_SUMMARY record in the timesheet signals the application that all time on that day should be considered for a lead hand premium. When using the WRKD_FLAG, the application grants a user more control when they want lead hand premiums to accrue.
