Add Rules to Attendance Rule Policies

To add a rule to an existing ruleset:

  1. Go to Pay Setup > Attendance and click the Attendance Rule Policy tab.
  2. Select an attendance rule policy. A slide-out panel opens.
  3. Click one of the following tabs, depending on the type of rule that you want to configure:
    • Incident Type
    • Violation
    • Grade
    • Decrement
  4. In the left panel, select a ruleset to add the rule to.
  5. Click the add icon () and then click Rule.
  6. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the rule.
  7. Enter the rule’s effective start date and, optionally, its end date.
  8. Ensure that the Active checkbox is selected.
  9. (Optional) In the Notification Message field, enter a customized message that’s sent to employees when their attendance details change based on the rule’s configuration. For example, if you configure a violation attendance rule in the Violation tab, the text that you enter is sent to employees after they commit an attendance violation.
  10. Note: You can click Localize to localize the notification message text. See Localization.
  11. In the Type drop-down list, select the rule that you want to add.
  12. Configure the rule’s settings. The settings are specific to each rule. See Attendance Rules and Qualifiers Library.
