Business example 7: Shift Premium Zone Rule
This example covers these business needs:
- Employees receive an extra $1 dollar an hour for eligible work between 23:00 and 07:00 (night premium).
- The employer's payroll system does not permit separate records for the premium time. Therefore, instead of creating a premium record for the shift premium, the rate of the eligible work details is updated directly.
