Run the Rule Analysis Report

About the Rule Analysis Report

• The Rule Analysis report provides details about how the system interprets pay rules, work rules, and other factors in its calculations. The Rule Analysis report is typically used to explain why an employee is paid a certain way or to determine if there is a configuration problem. It divides the reported time into spans.
• Spans contain information about distinct periods of time in which system calculations were made. The system creates these spans when processing the various rules and data. Spans are not visible on the timecard.

Run the Rule Analysis Report

1. Open a timecard and select a timeframe.
2. From the toolbar, select Rule Analysis.
3. The Rule Analysis report opens in a slider.

Days in the Report

The top of the Rule Analysis report enumerates each day as part of the total days in the selected timeframe. For example, if the timecard includes data for Monday through Friday, the top of the panel displays 1 of 5 for Monday, 2 of 5 for Tuesday, and so on. Select the left and right arrows at the top of the panel to move from one day to another.

Summary Block

At the top of each day is a summary that includes:

• Reason: For example, paycode edit or regular shift
• Time: Timeframe for the day such as 7:00AM to 4:00PM
• Hours: Total hours for the day, such as 7:30
• Cost – Wages from the day
• Also noted is the status such as, in progress, projected, or from the schedule

Spans

Spans contain information about the periods of time in which system calculations were made. The system creates these spans when processing the various rules and data. Spans are not visible in the timecard. The report identifies any time span that involves a change in pay, work rule, paycode, pay rule, and so on.

For example, an employee may have only an In-punch and an Out-punch on a given day, but the system could identify multiple time spans such as breaks, transfers, or overtime, based on processing the employee’s pay rule.
