Header Indicator Description
Rule Classification Choice list with the values applicable to time calculation rules
Rule Execution Type

Specify whether rules must create additional hours or update existing hours. This indicator displays only for time calculation rule templates when the associated formula includes this indicator.

Examples:

  • Create: Rule processing creates total calculated time of 12 hours, which is 2 hours more than the reported time. This keeps the 10 hours of Regular time at the regular hourly rate. It also creates 2 hours of Premium time at .5 times the regular hourly rate.

    Calculation example: (10 hours * 10 USD) + (2 hours * 5 USD) = 110 USD

  • Update: Rule processing creates total calculated time of 10 hours, which matches the reported time. Processing adjusts the pay rate for 2 of the 10 reported hours. It does this with 8 hours of Regular time at the regular hourly rate, and 2 hours of Overtime at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate

    Calculation example: (8 hours * 10 USD) + (2 hours * 15 USD) = 110 USD
