Setting up the "Daily Rate Limits by Time" section of a daily rule

Daily Rules can be used by Exo Time and Attendance for dealing with the wage rate that is to be paid at a specific time.

"Daily Rate Limits by Time" can be used in the Daily Rule to specify a wage rate to be paid at a specific time during the period. This setup is useful for any shifts that cross over midnight into a day that should have a specific rate paid after a set time.

Understanding the options for daily rate limits by time

  • Today - The day the time is clocked is the day in which the time will appear
  • Yesterday - The time will appear in the day after it was clocked, e.g. 10pm Tuesday till 6am Wednesday will show as Wednesday
  • Next Day - The time will appear in the day before it was clocked.
