Results
These examples assume that a schedule is posted on January 1 for January 16-22 and that the employee's base rate is $20 per hour.
4a: Time change of 30 minutes
In this example, an employee is scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:00 to 18:00. The user changes the employee's schedule on January 10 for a non-exempt reason. The employee is now scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:30 to 18:30.
Since the time change is more than the grace period of 10 minutes, a premium is inserted for 60 minutes at $20.00.
The employee has these work details on January 16 after the rule is applied:
| Start Time | End Time | Hours | Rate | Time Code | Hour Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:30 | 18:30 | 8:00 | 20.00 | WRK | REG |
| 1:00 | 20.00 | FAIR | REG |
4b: Additional shift
In this example, an employee is not scheduled to work on January 16. The user changes the employee's schedule on January 10 for a non-exempt reason. The employee is now scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:00 to 16:00.
Since an additional shift was added, the increase full rate multiplier (1) is applied. In this case, a premium is inserted for 60 minutes at $20.00.
The employee has these work details on January 16 after the rule is applied:
| Start Time | End Time | Hours | Rate | Time Code | Hour Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:00 | 16:00 | 6:00 | 20.00 | WRK | REG |
| 1:00 | 20.00 | FAIR | REG |
4c: Shift cancelled within 7 days of the start of the shift
In this example, an employee is scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:00 to 16:00. The user cancels the employee's entire shift on January 10 for a non-exempt reason.
Since the employee's entire shift (6 hours) was cancelled within 7 days but more than 24 hours of the start of the shift, the first instance of the rule applies. In this case, a premium is inserted for 60 minutes at $20.00.
The employee has this work detail on January 16 after the rule is applied:
| Start Time | End Time | Hours | Rate | Time Code | Hour Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00 | 20.00 | FAIR | REG |
4d: Shift decreased within 24 hours of the start of the shift
In this example, an employee is scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:00 to 18:00. The user changes the employee's schedule on January 15 at 10:01 for a non-exempt reason. The employee is now scheduled to work on January 16 from 11:00 to 16:00.
Since the employee's shift was decreased by 3 hours within 24 hours of the start of the shift, the second instance of the rule applies. In this case, a premium is inserted for 180 minutes at $20.00.
