Setting Up Rule Sets for Job Step Progression
To ensure proper time and labor tracking, and to ensure that employees are paid at the correct rate for all hours worked, the system processes step progression information using timecard automation rules. Use these rules to create new timecards for employees who have met the requirements of their current job level and will move to new job levels during the processing period. By creating new timecards, you ensure that employees are paid the correct rate for the hours that they work in their current job level and for the hours that they work after moving to their new job level. This table lists the predefined step progression rules and discusses how to use them:
Step Progression Rule |
Usage |
|---|---|
StepProgressionHoursRule |
Use this rule to process employees whose step progression requirements are based on the number of hours worked. The system applies all of the hours that are associated with valid step progression pay types towards the requirements for moving to the next job level. |
StepProgressionDaysRule |
Use this rule to process employees whose step progression requirements are based on the number of calendar days that they have been in their current job level. Each day that an employee is assigned to a specified job level, including weekends and holidays, is counted towards the requirements for moving to the next job level. |
StepProgressionPiecesRule |
Use this rule to process employees whose step progression requirements are based on the number of pieces that the employee completes. |
You can also create custom rules using step progression requirements that are specific to the organization.
