5a: 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 within the grace period of 30 minutes, this employee is not owed predictability pay.
5b: Increase of 45 minutes
In this example, an employee is scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:00 to 16:00. The user changes the employee's schedule on January 15 for a non-exempt reason. The employee is now scheduled to work on January 16 from 10:00 to 16:45.
Since the increase is more than the grace period of 30 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:00 | 16:45 | 6:45 | 20.00 | WRK | REG |
| 1:00 | 20.00 | FAIR | REG |

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 18 from 10:00 to 15:00.
