Hours Distribution Work Rules manage work rules manage how worked hours are "distributed" within the statutory or contractual limits, based on local laws or employee contracts. They are the rules that govern how Overtimehow Overtime, Double Time and Bankable , and Bankable Contract HoursHours (not used in the United States of America) are classified and configured.   Due to the fact that there are Because many locations that have multiple overtime rules that can be combined, UniFocus has developed our our Hours Distribution rules  rules to be flexible and assigned through Employee Sets to through Employee Sets to allow for multiple scenario's (IE Federal/State/Local/Union laws). You can configure and apply Over Time and Double Time multiple apply Overtime and Double Time multiple ways. However, it is imperative that you give the proper consideration to how these are applied as to avoid double dipping when an employee is part of two separate and distinct Employee distinct Employee Sets.  There There are two general classifications for the rules.   Please note that these two classifications can't be used in conjunction with one another:

...

Time and Attendance has four (4) ways of distributing regular and overtime hours. All distributions can include other hours-based earnings within the configuration if you need to include PTO's or other non-worked hours in your overtime calculations. 

Note that all all Hours Distribution rules  rules can be included in calculating overtime via the Earning Type Pay Mappings option.

Criteria

Daily/Weekly Overtime and Double Time

Time and Attendance has a series of rules with common ways of handling Daily/Weekly hours. The differences are all in how consecutive days worked affect Weekly OT, what positions are worked, are there any minimum hours off requirements (?), when Double Time is to be paid and what the 24 hour period is.

Regular Hours Only. Denotes that no overtime is given unless Earning Type Pay Mappings is configured to include regular hours in the OT calculations.

Rolling X Weeks OT. Awards overtime for any hours that exceed the rolling configurable limit (configured as a weekly number – 1, 2, 3...etc.) of weeks.  Time and Attendance will always be looking at the current week (either for Time and Attendance or Labor Management) plus the previous 'X' weeks to determine of OT has been exceeded.  There is no "Double-Dipping" on hours.  This means that the week that Over Time occurs will take priority over subsequent weeks. The example below is how Over Time would be calculated based upon a setting of 3 rolling weeks. Please note the totals at the bottom of 238 Regular and 7 Over Time hours over a six week period. Even though week five looks like there should be overtime, there is not due to all overtime (four hours) for the first three-weeks being out in week three, therefore the 3 hours that make up the Weeks 3 to 5 hours above 120, has been paid during week three.

Note: Paying OT is determined by the OT Rate work rule, which is used to to set the premium.


Tips

The number of hours in a workweek is usually defined by national or state government. Before configuring the Weekly OT rule, make sure you know the official number of hours as mandated by your country or state. For example, in the state of Texas (in the United States), a workweek is defined as 40 hours.

Example(s)If the Weekly OT limit is set to 40 hours, employees who work more than 40 hours in the workweek receive overtime.
ParametersParameterDescription

Weekly OT - Secondary Jobs

Description

Indicates that employees receive overtime for all hours worked over a configurable weekly limit. Priority for overtime will be for the secondary jobs worked. If employees have OT, this rule searches for the first secondary job that was worked during the workweek and associates the OT hours with that day and job.

Tips

Use this work rule when OT policy is to charge the secondary department for OT before charging the home department.

Example(s)

If you configure this work rule for an employee who works three jobs, the first job worked, if it is not the employee's home job, receives OT first, then the second job worked, and finally the home job.

Weekly Banked Hours. An overtime rule that specifies how hours are banked. Banked hours are used when an Employee is hired to work a specific guaranteed weekly or monthly contract. In lieu of overtime, the hours are "banked" with the expectation that any hours worked over the contracted hours will be reimbursed to the employee, while any hours not worked by the employee will be made up at some time during their contracted employment. Many companies establish an expiration policy for banked hours. This policy establishes the length of time for which hours can be banked and used. If banked hours are not used before the expiration date, the employee must be paid according to the overtime rules your company has established.

Examples of the requirement to use up banked time within 3 months of the end of the pay period are as follows:

Monthly and Other Types of Overtime

Time and Attendance has a series of rules that take into account overtime that is calculated for lengths of time that are greater than 7 days, such as overtime that will be calculated on a set period of rolling weeks or over a month/financial period.

Prototype - Per Month Banked Hours. An overtime rule that specifies how hours are banked. Overtime hours are accumulated and subsequently used for time off with regular pay, instead of receiving overtime pay. This work rule assumes that the number of hours contracted each month varies, therefore requires each month to have a separate configuration for contacted hours. In general, once a specific amount of hours has been worked (contract hours) every hour of overtime worked adds one hour in the bank.

  • January-December Contract Hours. Denotes the number of guaranteed monthly hours, after which hours can be banked.
  • Balance Earning. Denotes the Earning to which the balanced banked hours should be assigned.
  • Balance Factor. Denotes the factor that is applied against the balanced banked hours rate.

Prototype - Per Month OT Hours. An overtime rule that specifies how hours in excess of the contract monthly hours, are paid.

  • January-December Contract Hours. Denotes the number of guaranteed monthly hours, after which hours can be banked.
  • Earning Type Pay Mappings. Specifies any additional hours-based earnings (Sick, Holiday, Vacation, ...etc.) that are to be included in the total hours calculations.
  • Earning Types. Denotes which Earning Types are used in  calculating overtime.
  • Home Department Only. Denotes that only hours worked in the employee's Home department, are applied toward the contract.

Holiday DT. Allows you to make a pay rate adjustment to the Holiday Pay Rate if employee is in overtime. For example, if a paid Holiday occurs in a period where the employee is already in overtime, the employee was being paid for double-time and a half. In the UK, Holidays are paid at the double-time rate, so the adjustment is made to conform to this rule.

  • Earning Type Pay Mappings. Specifies any additional hours-based earnings (Sick, Holiday, Vacation, ...etc.) that are to be included in the total hours calculations.
  • Holiday Types. Allows you to determine which Holiday Types are paid at the double-time rate.

Twenty Four Hour OT. Denotes how overtime is paid for all hours worked over the 24 hour limit and over the weekly limit in the workweek.

  • Earning Type Pay Mappings. Allows you to map the earning types used in the calculations.
  • Twenty Four Hour OT Limit. Allows you to denote the number of hours that must be worked in a 24-hour period, before overtime goes into effect.
  • Weekly OT Limit. Allows you to denote the number of hours that must be worked before weekly overtime goes into effect.

Minimum Hours for Full Time OT. Allows you to pay double-time, if time worked is under a weekly threshold. Otherwise, the employee is paid at the standard Daily, Weekly, Consecutive Day OT rates. If employee more than eight hours in any work day, or more than 40 hours in any work week, the employee receives overtime for all hours worked over eight hours/40 hours. Eight hours of labor constitutes a day's work. Employment beyond eight hours in any work day or more than six consecutive days is permissible provided the employee is compensated for the overtime at not less than:

  1. Overtime for all hours worked in excess of eight hours in any work day and for all the hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of work if worked over the par-time eligibility limit
  2. Double time for all hours worked in a work week up to the maximum DT paid, and overtime for all hours worked on the seventh consecutive day of work, if worked at or below the part-time eligibility limit.

Overtime takes precedence over double time.

  • Consecutive Days in Work Week. Allows you to determine whether only days in the work week count toward consecutive days (if selected) or whether days from the prior pay period can count toward consecutive days (if not selected).
  • Consecutive Days Limit. Allows you to denote the number of consecutive days after which overtime starts.
  • Daily OT Limit. Allows you to denote the number of hours after which daily overtime starts.
  • Earning Type Pay Mappings. Allows you to map the Earning Types to be used in calculations.
  • Enable Consecutive Day OT. Allows you to enable consecutive day overtime.
  • Max DT Paid. Denotes the maximum amount of double time hours for which an employee can be paid.
  • Max. Consecutive Days Paid. Denotes the maximum number of consecutive days that can be paid, after which the consecutive days counter resets.
