Summary

The first stage of the filtering process of an award rule is to state which employees the rule will apply to, and which will be cast out.

Important: Award rules should only be created by your PayGlobal Consultant. Changing award rules incorrectly will have a severe impact on your system.

Example

For example, the award rule 'All employees' means that all employees in an organisation will progress the Stage 2 - Timeband clauses of an award rule.

On the other hand, the award rule 'Annual leave table code is equal to "FULL6%" means that only employees on the 'FULL6%' annual leave table will pass through to the Timeband clauses stage.

Today Operators

When you create a clause for a date field, you can use the following operators that are based on today:

• Is equal to today by
• Is less than or equal today by
• Is greater than or equal today by

For example, if today is 01/08/2011 you can create the following types of employee clauses:

• To select employees whose planned termination date is 31 days from today (01/09/2011):

  "Planned termination date is equal to today by 31".

• To select employees whose planned termination date is on or after 01/09/2011:

  "Planned termination date is greater than or equal today by 31".

• To select employees who were terminated on or before 01/07/2011:

  "Termination date is less than or equal today by -31".

You need to use two clauses to define a range:

• To select employees whose planned termination date is in the range from today to 31 days in the future:

  "Planned termination date is greater than or equal today by 0" and "Planned termination date is less than or equal today by 31"

• To select employees who were terminated in the range from yesterday to 31 days in the past:

  "Termination date is less than or equal today by -1" and "Termination date is greater than or equal today by -31"
