Custom Calculations (Calculation Rule)
This feature gives you the ability to create additional hours, dollars, bonuses for selected employees who meet certain criteria. One example of a Custom Calculation is to pay a Nurse a full week (40 hours) for working at least 24 hours over a weekend. This can be accomplished by:
- Home Filter- Select Department then Nursing
- Hour Filters- Select Day Restrictions then highlight Saturday and Sunday
- Time Frame- Weekly
- Hours/Dollars- Hours
- Maximum Hours- Enter the maximum hours the employee can receive. This will be worked hours and bonus hours combined
- Hours- Enter 16
- Must Work Minimum Number of Hours must be checked
- Apply Filters to Minimum Hours must be checked so only Saturday and Sundays hours will apply
- Period- Enter 24 hours
Now an employee in Nursing department who works a total of 24 hours over a weekend will receive a an additional 16 hours for a full weeks pay.
Another scenario is to pay a dollar amount. The example below will show the setup to pay $7.50 a day Meal Money for any employee who works at least 10 hours in that day. On the General screen of the Custom Calculation enter a user defined code and description for the Custom Calculation. Click save and you will go to the Criteria screen.
On the Criteria screen the setup is:
- Condition- Enter a Condition number. Multiple conditions can be applied to the Calculation
- Description- Enter a description of the Calculation
- Earning Code- Select the Earning Code to be paid for this calculation. In this scenario it will be MM-Meal Money
- Cost Center/Department/Job Classification/Task- These will default to None. If the Calculation is to apply to a different Labor Distribution center than the employee's Home assignments then select it for these and any other Labor Distribution categories here with the drop-down box
- Shift- This will default to Shift 1. If the Calculation is to apply to a different Shift than the employee's assigned shift then select it here with the drop-down box
- Time Frame- Select the time frames this will apply. The choices are Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Period (Pay Period). Meal money will be paid on any day exceeding 10 hours so Daily is selected
- Hours/Dollars- Since this Custom Calculation will pay a dollar amount, Dollars is selected

- Dollars- Enter the amount to be paid. If Hours were selected in previous field then this field would be labeled Hours
- Must Work All Scheduled Days- If an employee must work all scheduled days then check here. In this scenario it is not required
- Must Work All Scheduled Hours- If this is checked then an employee who is scheduled to work 8 hours from 9:00 to 5:00 not only has to work 8 hours to qualify but must also work the entire time frame (9:00 to 5:00) that they were scheduled to work. In this scenario it is not required. If the employee needs to work beyond the scheduled hours then enter the amount of additional hours on the next line.
- Must Work Scheduled Amount of Hours- If this is checked then an employee who is scheduled to work 8 hours from 9:00 to 5:00 only has to work 8 hours to qualify and doesn't have to work the entire time frame (9:00 to 5:00) that they were scheduled to work. The 8 hours can be at any time, inside or outside of schedule or split. In this scenario it is not required. If the employee needs to work beyond the scheduled hours then enter the amount of additional hours on the next line
- Must Work Minimum Hours- This is selected if a minimum number of hours must be worked to qualify for the Custom Calculation. This does not take into consideration scheduled days or hours. This can be set for as few or many hours as necessary. In this scenario Minimum Hours are being used so it is checked
- Apply Filters to Minimum Hours- When this is checked what are considered to be minimum hours will be determined by filter selections
- Daily/Weekly/Period- In the appropriate field enter the minimum number of hours needed to qualify for the Custom Calculation. In this case an employees will receive Meal Money on any day they work at least 10 hours so 10.00 is entered into Daily.
- Source of Minimum Hours- The default is All Hours Count. From the drop-down menu you can also select Early In Hours Only, Late Out Hours Only, or In Schedule Hours
In this scenario, the Meal Money is available to all employees on any day so no filters are needed. Below are typical filter setup screens for Home Filters and Hour Filters which may be used for other Custom Calculations
