Post-Calculation

Post-Calculation work rules are miscellaneous rules that are run after hours and rate calculations are completed.

The Post-Calculation work rule type includes the following work rules:

Approve By Schedule

Description

Automatically approve the shift if it matches the schedule.

Parameters Parameter Description

Approve OT

Allows the automated approval of a shift even if it includes overtime.

Grace Post Schedule End

Number of minutes, after a shift ends, that an employee can punch out and still have the shift match the schedule.

Example: If the grace period is 60 minutes and an employee punches out 65 minutes after their shift ends, the shift will not be matched. If they punch out 55 minutes after their shift ends, points would be assessed if the punches fall outside the other parameters.

Grace Post Schedule Start

Number of minutes after a shift starts, that an employee can punch in and still have the shift match the schedule.

Example: If the grace period is 60 minutes and an employee punches in 65 minutes after their shift starts, the shift will not be matched. If they punch in 55 minutes after their shift starts, points would be assessed if the punches fall outside the other parameters.

Grace Pre Schedule End

Number of minutes before a shift ends, that an employee can punch out and still have the shift match the schedule.

Example: If the grace period is 30 minutes and an employee punches out 35 minutes before their shift ends, the shift will not be matched. If they punch out 25 minutes before their shift ends, the shift would be matched, and points would be assessed if the punches fall outside the other parameters.

Grace Pre Schedule Start

Number of minutes before a shift starts, that an employee can punch in and still have the shift match the schedule.

Example: If the grace period is 60 minutes and an employee punches in 65 minutes before their shift starts, the shift will not be matched. If they punch in 55 minutes before their shift starts, the shift would be matched, and points would be assessed if the punches fall outside the other parameters.

Max Shift Length Over

Maximum length of time an employee can work after their shift ends, and still have the shift match the schedule.

Example: If the Maximum Shift Length Over is 60 minutes and an employee works a total of 9.5 hours (or 90 minutes over their scheduled shift), the shift will not be matched.

Min Shift Length Under

Minimum length of time an employee can work and still have a shift match the schedule.

Example: If the Maximum Shift Length Under is 60 minutes the scheduled shift length was 8 hours, and an employee works a total of 6.5 hours (90 minutes less than their scheduled shift), the shift will not be matched.

If the check box is selected, the system will use the employee's actual punch time, rather than rounding.
