How to: Configure conditions: Within rostered hours

In this article in The Rules Series, we show how to configure the rules engine to use the Within rostered hours condition.

How the Within rostered hours condition works

Overview

The Within rostered hours condition matches the portion of timesheets that are within the rostered hours in the associated shift.

For example, when the Within rostered hours condition is configured, the condition matches time on the timesheet within the hours of the shift, allowing us to use the inverse to find timesheet hours that are outside of the employee’s rostered shift. This might be useful for determining when an employee was asked to work later than usual, but the (additional) hours worked fall short of a consecutive hours or time of day threshold for attracting penalties.

Each timesheet is evaluated individually.

An example

In this example, each an employee is rostered for their normal shift, and records time on their timesheet outside of the rostered hours. The employee is paid overtime for the portion worked outside the rostered hours.
