Individual pay rules

Timesheet has specific types

Optionally apply rates based on whether the timesheet is a scheduled shift, unscheduled shift, or leave.

Above X hours consecutively

Apply a different rate after X consecutive hours (the value for X is set as part of the rule). E.g. pay an overtime rate if the shift is more than 8 hours. 

 

On specific days

Apply a specific rate on a specific day (or group of days). E.g. apply weekend rates if the day on the timesheet is a Saturday or a Sunday.

 

Timesheet matches an above rule

This is used to test whether any of the previous rules have been matched and to apply rules accordingly. A typical implementation would be to test if no specific rules have matched already, then apply ordinary hours/base rate. The order of this rule in relation to other rules is important as it checks the rules above it. The example below can be interpreted as "if it's not on a Sunday or not on a Public Holiday then apply normal hours".

 

Under contracted hours

Specify a payment based on whether the employee is under contracted hours or over contracted hours. Contracted hours need to be set on employee's standard hours or the company default standard hours.

 

Exceeding X hours in a period

Allows the user to set a limit on the number of hours worked in a particular period. E.g. if someone works more than 40 hours in a week the remaining hours can be paid at a higher rate.

 

Top up timesheets X hours

Some awards have a minimum shift length for a timesheet, so for example this rule will ensure that all timesheet instances are paid for at least two hours even if the actual timesheet is less than that.

 

Insufficient hours between prior timesheet

Some awards require a minimum number of hours between worked shifts, or a penalty rate is applied. Here for example we can set a rule like, "if the break between the end of one timesheet and the start of the next is less than 12 hours then apply double-time for the second shift".

Employee has pay tag

Matches if employee has one or more of the specified pay tags.

Has leave type

Matches if timesheet leave type matches specified leave type in the pay rule.

 

On a public holiday

The rule is triggered if the timesheet falls on a public holiday (you can apply public holiday rates.)

 

Between certain times

Typically used for setting after hours rates. E.g. between 10pm and midnight or between midnight and 6am apply the night rate.

Within employee standard hours 

Matches when a shift or timesheet hours are within the employee's standard hours.

 

Timesheet has locations 

Matches when a shift or timesheet's location is one of the specified in the pay rule.

 

Has specific work types:

Apply different payment types based on the work type (e.g. a specific rate for public-holiday-not-worked).

Within rostered hours:

Matches with employee's worked hours that are within their associated shift's hours.

Minimum length

Tops up employee's timesheet up to the specific length for the matching pay rules with pay items

 

Multiple conditions

Each rule block can allow multiple conditions for example 1.) if you want to apply a different rate after X consecutive hours, pay an overtime rate if the shift is more than 8 hours OR 2.) if someone works more than 40 hours in a week OR 3.) more than 160 hours in a month the remaining hours can be paid at overtime rate. In the example below the operator used is ANY.

 

Metric

For the metric you can choose if you want to pay or count by hour, timesheet, or match.
