Create Schedule Deviation Calculations

Create Schedule Deviation Calculations

Create schedule deviation calculations to tag time blocks a worker enters outside their schedule. You can use schedule deviation calculations to pay workers a premium for hours worked outside their scheduled shifts.
  1. Access the
    Create Time Calculation
     task.
  2. For
    Calculation Type
    , select
    Schedule Deviation Calculation
    .
  3. (Optional) Select
    Use Workday Scheduling Data
     to enable Workday to pull a worker's scheduled hours from Workday Scheduling rather than work schedule calendars from Time Tracking. You must have Workday Scheduling enabled for this to take effect.
  4. Select 1 or more calculation tags that identify the time blocks that are subject to this calculation. Example: If you include the Regular calculation tag, the calculation will tag Regular time worked outside the worker's schedule.
    • If you select more than 1 tag in a row, the time blocks must have the all tags in that row.
    • If you select tags in separate rows, the time blocks must have all the specified tags in at least 1 of the rows.
  5. In the
    Results
     section, add the time calculation tags to add or remove from time blocks that are outside of the worker's schedule.
    You can tag hours differently based on when the time was worked outside of the schedule. Add time calculation tags to at least 1 of these sections:
    • Before First Scheduled In
    • Between Scheduled Shifts
    • After Last Scheduled Out
    • Unscheduled Days
    If you want to treat all time worked outside of the work schedule in the same way, select the same tags to add and remove in each section. By default, all calculation tags from the existing time blocks copy to calculated time blocks generated by this calculation unless you remove them.
  6. From the
    Time Day Based On
     prompt, select:
    • Calculated Date
       to tag calculated time blocks according to the day breaker option.
    • Shift Date
       to tag calculated time blocks with the shift date according to the
      Group Time Blocks for Shift Based on
       option on the time entry template.
  7. In the
    Groups
     tab, add time calculation group snapshots with the appropriate effective dates to specify which workers are eligible for the calculation.
Assign time calculation priorities.
