TYPE_SEQUENCE is a 30-character numeric optional field. The sequence field is used by the UTTG process to determine an order of priority for premiums. Users may enter a sequence number to define the order of the premium. This sequence will override the sequential order defined before (pay line over assignment over position over job) and is only applicable to the Time Scheduling module.
This feature works for all premiums of the same type.
Example: Unit - Hourly has two premiums with the Premium Type of TIME; MINREST and TIMEOT
- MINREST pays double-time and TIMEOT pay time-and-a-half.
- MINREST is added to the Time Entries upon Clock OUT for the MIN HRS BTW SHFT Time Rule.
- TIMEOT is added to the Time Entries and Pay Transactions during UTTG for the PREM TIME OF DAY Time Rule.
Previously this meant that the TIMEOT premium would override the MINREST premium as related to order of processing. By making the ‘Sequence’ of the TIMEOT premium ‘1’ and the ‘Sequence’ of the MINREST premium ‘2’, the MINREST premium will be applied instead of the TIMEOT premium if both are encountered by the UTTG process.
