The Has Schedule Type Qualifier restricts a rule to run for employees that have a specific schedule type. When configured with a rule, the rule runs only for employees whose schedules are created or updated by the selected Scheduled Edits types. For example, you could use the qualifier to apply a daily overtime rule for employees who are scheduled by shift rotation, but not those whose schedules are manually created by managers or administrators. To do this, attach the Has Schedule Type Qualifier to the overtime rule and select Rotation in the Type of Scheduled Edits eligible list and User in the Type of Scheduled Edits ineligible list.
Important: This qualifier analyzes whether a day contains the eligible and ineligible schedule edits that you specified. On days with multiple shifts, the qualifier doesn’t analyze each shift individually when determining whether the qualifying conditions are met. If an employee has two shifts in a day and only one shift meets your Type of Schedule Edits eligible criteria, both shifts are eligible for the associated rule’s premium (provided the second shift doesn’t meet your Type of Schedule Edits ineligible criteria).
Consider the following example where an employee has two shifts on June 15: one generated by a shift rotation and one that was manually created by their manager. The Has Schedule Type Qualifier is configured in the employee’s pay policy to apply a daily overtime rule with the following configuration:
- Type of Schedule Edits eligible: User is selected.
- Type of Schedule Edits ineligible: No selection.
Because one of the employee’s shifts on June 15 was manually created by their manager, the qualifier’s conditions are considered met and the associated pay rule grants premiums for both shifts, even though only one shift was user-generated. If one shift meets the qualifier’s criteria, Dayforce considers the day valid and all shifts are considered for the premium. Even though Rotation isn’t selected in the Type of Schedule Edits eligible list, the shift that was generated by a shift rotation is eligible for a premium because it occurs on the same day as another eligible shift. In this scenario, if the employee should receive a premium generated by the associated pay rule only for the user-generated shift, the qualifier would need to be configured with Rotation selected in the Type of Schedule Edits ineligible list to make the shift rotation-generated shift ineligible.
