Hitch#

Time Rule Overview#

This is a helper time rule that determines the start of the week, and the hitch start date for the OT Hitch Week and the OT Consc No Sch. Organizations could use OT Workweek and WK Start Off Day time rules instead of Hitch and OT Hitch Week time rules, as they behave in similar manners.

Requirements / Features#

This rule should not be used alone. Apply Time Code Sets are required and should include any time codes that can be applied during the hitch, except those that are used for non-scheduled days worked. Examples of time codes that should be included:

• Regular
• OT
• Leave
• Leave OT
• Holiday work
• OT consecutive days
• OT weekly
• OT hitch week
• Others to be determined

Time Rule Type Code: HITCH

Additional Info #

Frequency Predefined as Never Apply Time Code Sets required

• When the Time Code set is defined in the Apply Time Code Sets field, please keep in mind that the time rule may look back for days from the previous pay where all the time rules were already applied.

How it works: #

• This time rule looks back the number of days that have passed by calling either the OT Hitch Week or OT Consc No Sch time rules. It tries to find the minimum number of days before Hitch passed the same time rule.
• If during its search, the time rule finds "defined" work days (time codes in the Apply Time Code Set), then the counting of days before the hitch is reset to 0.
• If it could not find at least a minimum number of days before Hitch (passed by calling Time Rule) it will not be able to find the start of the week

Implementation#

The time rule should be set up in IDWR as shown below.
