Time Guardian Series – Advanced Overtime Module 11-5
Execution of Priority
The list is calculated in order as they occur provided that the word “Continue” is in the Action
field of each overtime type. When the Action field is set to “Stop”, any overtime types that
are listed in the table where this occurs will not be executed, if employee qualifies for that
overtime. To proceed, you must change the Action field from Continue to Stop in the
selected overtime type. To do so, click on the Action field for the desired overtime type and
select the Action from the dropdown list. See the previous illustration for an example.
7. Click on the Overtime Authorization tab.
If your company’s policy requires overtime authorization, check any one of the (3) possible
scenarios where employees may work overtime. The scenarios are:
Hours worked before an assigned schedule start.
Hours worked after an assigned schedule.
Hours worked on an unassigned schedule.
When checked, the employee will only be awarded overtime for each of the above if a check
is placed in the corresponding column of the Timecard grid.
Shifts
All setup rules will fall into (3) categories: shift rules, daily rules, or multiple day rules. Shift rules
apply to a given shift or schedule. A Shift is the set of rules for a given shift or schedule. A Shift
consists of the following elements:
• Rounding Template: Determines how an employee’s punches will be rounded.
• Exceptions: Codes used to track employee’s time deviations from assigned schedules.
(Note: Meal Penalty has been added to provide feature to penalize a company when an
employee does not take lunch break or takes the lunch break late. In this instance penalty
hours are generated in the Pay Code plus the MPNT exception code will be generated).
• Meal Templates: Defines employee breaks and meal breaks.
• Shift Overtime: Defines the overtime rules for the schedule.
• Outside Shift Overtime: Defines a finite set of overtime rules for employees that work before
or after their scheduled Shift or Schedule.
