MEAL SCHED - Meal Scheduled #

Time Rule Overview#

This is a time rule helper for the time rule MEAL PENALTY.

Requirements / Features#

  • Time Rule Type Code: MEAL SCHED

Meal Schedule Types:#

  • FROM/ TO are defined
    • When the From and To are defined, this is known as "Meal Schedule Meal Time"
    • This is used when the Meal Penalty time rule does not have the premium or value defined
    • Creates the ability to apply different premiums depending on the premium time
    • The time rule will try to identify the premium to apply based on the premium time
  • VALUE is defined
    • When just the value is defined, this is known as "Meal Schedule Numbers of Meal Awarded or Taken"
    • This is used when Meal Penalty does not have the premium defined or From /To defined
    • Creates the ability to apply different premiums depending on the numbers of meal awarded
    • The time rule will try to match the band with the number of meals awarded or taken
    • If a match is found, it will apply that premium
    • If the number of meals awarded is greater than the band it will start the cycle from the beginning.
    • The band is number of meal awarded or taken
    • When the value has been defined and is greater than 0, it is used to override the minimum meal length (defined in hours). If the employee takes a meal and it is less than this value then it will not be considered as a meal taken and it will not reset the "counter" in Meal Penalty. If an override premium is defined, it looks at the meal length defined in MIN MEAL LENGTH and if it does not find any meal time it will reset the "counter".
  • Premium is defined
    • When just the premium is defined, this is known as "Meal Schedule Manual Meal Premiums"
    • In this situation the Meal Penalty should have premium defined
    • Creates the ability that any manual premium that is added will reset the "counter" in Meal Penalty
    • This is used when From/To and Value have not been defined
Any premium defined in all 3 MEAL SCHEDULE types will reset the "counter".
