There may be a time when a Placement Specific Pay Rule will be beneficial to use over creating a brand new Pay Plan. Placement Specific rules are set up on individual placements and can save you time when needing to add a one-off rule so that you don't need to create a brand new Pay Plan for a single placement.
Let's cover a good use case and example. Let's say you have a default Overtime Pay Plan that you use for all placements and that Pay Plan calculates overtime of anything over 40 hours a week at 1.5x the Pay Rate.
But, let's say one specific placement receives 2x the Pay Rate on weekends as well.
Instead of creating a brand new Pay Plan for this one placement, you can add a Placement Specific Rule to add the x2 Pay Rate for weekends that will calculate with the default Overtime Pay Plan that you have in place.
When navigating to the placement via the Placements Grid, you can add the Placement Specific Rule by selecting the green + option in the Placement Specific Rules area. Looking back at our example, the placement and rule would look like the below.
With this weekend rule being added, both the Overtime Plan (with the rule of over 40 hours worked weekly at 1.5x the Pay Rate) and the Weekend Pay Rule we just added will calculate for this placement.
These Pay Rules will be configured per Time Entry, meaning that both Billable Items and Payable Items will be created for each Time Entry for each day instead of based on the weekly amount.
Let's take a look at one more example of how this would calculate based on the timecard below:
Mon. | Tues. | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | Sat. | Sun. | Total |
10 hours | 8 hours | 8 hours | 8 hours | 8 hours | 8 hours | 0 hours | 50 hours |
7 billable items will be created in this example:
The 8 hours on Saturday would calculate at 2x the pay rate based on the Placement Specific Rule for weekends.
2 hours of overtime would calculate based on the Overtime Pay Plan Rule at 1.5x the pay rate (this is calculated using the total hours over 40, which is 10, minus the hours applied in the weekend pay rule (8), to equal 2).
40 hours of Standard Time would calculate last at 1x the pay rate (the remaining hours that do not fall under either of the 2 pay rules). In which case, these 40 hours will create new Billable and Payable Items for all 5 days of Standard Time.
**Please Note: Placement Specific Rules are prioritized over Pay Plans. For example, if the assigned Pay Plan had a weekly rule of any hours worked over 40 would be 1.5x the Pay Rate, and if there was also a Placement Specific Weekly Rule set where any hours worked over 40 would be 2x the Pay Rate, all hours worked over 40 weekly would calculate based on the Placement Specific Rule at 2x the Pay Rate**
