Field

Description

1

Break Waiver

When checked, this is used as part of break penalty rules.

2

Exclude Overtime

When checked, this will ensure that the employee does not receive any overtime pay on their timecard for any hours worked beyond the timeframe set for the OT Rule Group(s). If not set, this will default OT to over 40 hours in a week. This helps to not skew labor calculations for scheduling and forecasting, and works in conjunction with Overtime Rule Groups.

3

Exclude Labor Hours

When checked, this will exclude labor hours on the employee's timecard. This helps to not skew labor calculations for scheduling and forecasting, and works in conjunction with Overtime Rule Groups.

When this checkbox is checked, the hours associated with the employee will be omitted from the actual labor hours in reporting. This means, their labor hours will be discounted from reports that include actual labor hours.

4

Exclude Labor $

When checked, the employee's labor $ will not impact the total labor $ for their corresponding location(s). This helps to not skew labor calculations for scheduling and forecasting, and works in conjunction with Overtime Rule Groups.

When this checkbox is checked, the labor dollars associated with the employee will be omitted from the actual labor dollars in all reports that include this value.
