Pay rule calculation type - Outside scheduled hours

Before - looks at time before the scheduled start of the shift.
After - looks at time after the scheduled end of the shift.
Unspecified - will not trigger payment.

Sets a grace period before/after the scheduled shift for which this rule will not trigger.

Can be configured as a multiple of the employee’s base rate or as a flat rate:

• When configured as a multiplier, this pay rate will pay in hours at the employee’s base rate multiplied by the input value.

• When configured as a flat rate, the user can choose if they would like Hourly or Unit Values:

  • An Hourly value will pay each calculated hour at the set value

  • A unit value will pay each unit at the set value (not available for base pay rules)

Defines which days of the week this rule applies to.

For example, if Saturday and Sunday are selected, only parts of the timesheet overlapping Saturday and Sunday are calculated with this rule.

Defines which part of the day this rule is applicable to.

By default this is all day. However, it can be used to define a portion of a day (eg. a defined night shift, such as 6pm-6am). If this is done, only those parts of the timesheet overlapping this are calculated.

Select whether this pay rule applies:

• Always applies (ie. applies whether the day is marked as a public holiday or not)
• Applies only on days marked as public holiday
• Does not apply on public holidays (ie. only applies on days not marked as public holidays)

Will only apply this rule to areas selected in the drop down.

By default, all areas are selected.

If set as Yes, the pay rule will only apply on the defined date, assuming the date falls on the previously defined allowable day and time above.

Defines how the pay rule interacts with scheduled and unscheduled shifts:

• If set to unscheduled, this rule will only trigger for unscheduled shifts.
• If set to scheduled, this rule will only trigger on scheduled shifts.
• If set to both, it will trigger on all shifts provided other conditions are met.

Generally, an hourly rate will be assigned according to the exact hours that are matched, however, it is possible to enforce an hourly rate for a full shift even if it only matches a minor or major portion of that shift.

Deputy recommends using the Exact Hours option in most cases.

Categorises the pay rule as Overtime, Ordinary, Penalty or Non-Payable time.

These are used to define time worked for other calculation types (for example, Periodic Overtime counts Ordinary and some penalty hours towards it).

A custom value that can be applied to the timesheets.

Deputy recommends only using this if advised by your implementation consultant.

If set as Yes, this pay rule may only apply once per day. If No, it may apply to multiple timesheets on a given day.

For this rule to apply, the team member must clock in and clock out within the defined periods.

By default this is midnight to midnight (ie. any time is allowed.)

With this, the rule will only apply if particular values are selected in the custom timesheet field questions.

Note that only List and Boolean questions are available.
