Rules and Conditions

New payroll rules and conditions have been added as a feature of the Rule Builder and Quick Rule Editor.

The following new rules and conditions have been added:

  • Balance Payout Rule, used to pay employees for all, or a portion of their remaining balances.
  • Change Time Code Hour Type Duration Rule, used to cap eligible work details based on a defined threshold.
  • Holiday Reversal Rule, used to enforce the payroll requirement where employees are only eligible for holiday pay if they work their next scheduled shift after the holiday.
  • One Day Rest in Seven Rule, used to ensure than an employee receives a defined amount of consecutive rest in a given time period.
  • Meal Break Rule, used to ensure employees have an adequate number of breaks of sufficient length during their shifts.
  • Split Detail Rule, used to split work details at a defined time, creating two work detail records.
  • Daily Overtime 24 Hour Split Rule, used to calculate daily overtime based on a dynamically determined 24 hour range.
  • Weekly Overtime Split Rule, used to calculate weekly overtime based on a specific cut-off time and day.
  • FLSA Weekly OT Rule, used to conform to the Fair Labor Standards Acts.
  • Minimum Wage Rule, used to ensure that employees are paid the higher of the State or Federal minimum wage.
  • Is Weekend Day Extended Condition determines whether the specified work date is a weekend day (Saturday or Sunday).
  • Is Holiday Extended Condition determines whether the specified work date is a holiday (such as New Years Day, Christmas Day).
  • Is Regularly Scheduled Day Condition Extended determines whether the specified work date is an employee's scheduled day.
  • Is Day Condition Extended determines whether the specified work date is a specified day of the week (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, or Sun).
  • Is Work Summary Property Generic Condition determines whether employees want to convert overtime to COMP Time.
  • Is Termination Date Condition determines whether the day on, before, or after the calculation date is the employee's termination date.

These rules and conditions were part of the Solution Center/WBAIG library. Clients that are using the Solution Center/WBAIG rules and conditions are encouraged to switch to these new core rules. They provide the same functionality as the Solution Center/WBAIG library rules and conditions and are covered under standard support.

Rule Tracer

The Rule Tracer is a diagnostic tool for system administrators applying and configuring payroll rules. The tool examines the effects of the payroll rules on demand and generates a before and after snapshot of relevant data, so that the exact effect of the rules can be traced. Any records that have been modified, deleted, or added are highlighted in the snapshots. The Rule Tracer also displays which rule and which condition set of each rule was executed for any employee, on any day. This enables system administrators to verify that the rules have been configured correctly.

Time Off Request

A new form that allows employees to request multiple types of leave. Administrators can configure, modify, and delete the types of leave that can be requested through the application front-end. Administrators can also control how each type of leave is validated.

This form is intended to replace the old Vacation Request form and most customized forms in use today. Clients should consider switching to this new core form.
