Setting Up Overtime Pay Type Exclusion Lists

Use the overtime pay type exclusion lists to specify a list of pay types that are excluded from the hours reduction process used with overtime accumulator rules when you generate new overtime timecards.

You can set up pay type exclusion lists at three levels:

1. System exclusion list

2. Rule set exclusion list

3. Rule exclusion list

In the accumulator rule processing, the system uses a hierarchical search to determine if a pay type is included in one of the three exclusion lists. The system first searches the rule exclusion list for the current timecard's pay type. If the pay type is not found, then the system searches the rule set exclusion list, and then the system exclusion list as needed. If the pay type is found in any of these lists, then the overtime accumulator rule will not modify any timecard assigned to this pay type. Otherwise, the accumulator rule will modify these timecards as necessary when generating new overtime timecards.

The accumulator rule calculates overtime hours based on all timecards processed by the rule, including timecards assigned to a pay type listed in any of the exclusion lists. The exclusion lists determine which original timecards should have their hours reduced so the overtime hours can be allocated to new overtime timecards.
