Configuring a Week-Based Rule
In this example a week-based overtime rule is created. The rule requires that placements have specific rates, one for standard hours and one for overtime hours. These rates must have the same name for all placements to which the rule should apply. In this example,

Questions
Can RSM InTime handle different shift patterns?
Yes, our placement rotations function was purposely built for clients who have all kinds of shift patterns for rig workers etc. It enables you tick which days are normal working days over a period – either manually or by entering a start date and number of units on/off.
It’s only used to determine predicted pay/charge/margin by setting the expected working hours. Has no impact on timesheet completion or rates.
