Time Formula and Rule Types

You configure time validations, processing, and compliance using these types of formula, rule templates, rules, and rule sets.

Formula and Template Type	Description	Example Rule Usages
Advanced time category	Defines advanced conditions that you then associate with a time category.	Create rules to find time events or time entries that don't match published schedule times.
Time calculation	Creates or updates time card entries and uses the data to create calculated results based on formula logic.	Handle overtime or premium pay by updating reported time or creating more calculated time.
Time device	Evaluates time events imported from time collection devices and creates time entry exceptions.	Create exceptions for time entries with start time, or stop time, or both outside the specified grace periods.
Time entry	Validates time card entries and generates a message with a defined severity.	When reported time exceeds a specified weekly maximum, display the specified message.
Time submission	Identifies when to automatically save and submit time card entries created with time events imported from time collection devices.	Automatically save a time card after each Out event. Automatically submit a time card after receiving the Out event for the last scheduled shift of the week.
Workforce compliance	Identifies upcoming compliance exceptions by reviewing time card data and unprocessed time events to help you prevent or quickly fix any exceptions.	Notify managers when young people are approaching mandated worked time limits.
