Premiums and Differentials: Shift Premiums

Shift premiums are earnings paid in addition to the regular rate for an employee for working a particular shift—like night-shift premiums, or working-alone premiums.

Night-shift Premium Rule

This guide will cover how to create a Premium Rule for a night-shift premium that will pay 5% of the employee’s regular rate-of-pay.

At the end, the process to attach the Premium Rule to a Shift Code will be discussed.

Premium Rule

Create a Premium Rule for the night-shift premium earnings from Time & Attendance. This Premium Rule will be setup to pay 5% in addition for the eligible earnings.

  1. Create a new Premium Rule for the night-shift premium:

    1. Open Time & Attendance > Installation & Maintenance > Premium Rule.

    2. Press Insert to add a new Premium Rule.

  2. Setup the Details tab of the Premium Rule (see Premium Rules).

  3. Enable the Eligible Earn Codes (see Eligible Earnings).

1Enter the Premium Rule Id and a Description for the Premium Rule.
2Setup the Interval, Threshold, and what days the premium rule will apply.
  • For the example a daily interval is used with a maximum paid time of 8 hours, applicable on any day of the week.

3The Rate Option can be set to None or Percent Of Rate.
  • Using Percent of Rate allows the Earning Code rate to be overridden with the Premium Percent entered below. (This effectively will override the % of Basic value of the Earning Code).

Shift Premium

Premiums can be attached to Shift Codes and will apply automatically when an employee is scheduled a shift using that code.

Premiums that are attached to a shift can optionally be restricted to a period of time in the day. Only premiums attached to shifts can be restricted in this manner.

  1. Open Time & Attendance > Installation & Maintenance > Shifts.

  2. Double-click on a shift and the shift settings will open.
