How Do I Set Up Work Rules for Rostered and Clocked Shifts?

Work Rules are included with the Timeclock Extension add-on. They use the rules you set up to calculate penalty rates, loadings, overtime and allowances for rostered and clocked shifts.

Enable Work Rules

In the online app, open Company >> Company Details and select Enable Work Rules. This adds Work Rules under Company, where you can select Add Rule.

In the desktop app, open Company >> Details, select Enable Work Rules, then open the Work Rules tab under Company.

Create a rule

1. Give the rule a clear name.
2. Choose who it applies to, when it applies and what it pays.
3. Set the relevant rate, loading, overtime or allowance details, then save the rule.

A rule only changes incomplete pays for shifts it covers. Completed pays do not change. Review each rule against the applicable award or agreement: Lightning Payroll applies the rules you configure, while you remain responsible for award compliance.
