Default work rules are predefined settings that automatically populate employee timesheets for each pay cycle. These rules ensure consistency and efficiency in time tracking. By assigning default work rules to employee profiles, you establish standard guidelines for managing work hours unless overridden for specific pay periods.
Modes: There are two primary modes for assigning default work rules:
-
Fixed Mode: In Fixed mode, the same work rule is applied to every day within the pay run, ensuring uniformity across the pay period. This mode is ideal for scenarios where work rules remain consistent throughout the pay cycle.
-
Scheduled Mode: Scheduled mode allows for different work rules to be set for each day within the pay run. It offers flexibility to accommodate varying schedules or requirements, making it suitable for situations where work rules may vary from day to day.
Managing Work Rules in the Timesheets Screen: While default work rules are automatically generated, you can manage them directly within the timesheets screen during timesheet processing. Here's how:
-
Modification: Users can modify or override default work rules as needed for individual pay cycles. This allows for adjustments to be made based on specific circumstances or requirements.
-
Scope: Any changes made to default work rules on the timesheets screen only apply to the current pay cycle. This ensures flexibility without permanently altering the default settings in the employee profile.
