Premium Types

The following Premium types are available in the TimeForce II system.

Premium Type Description Example
Window This type of  Premium is setup so that the Premium only applies during a particular time frame on a day, range of days, or during specific times. This type of Premium is usually used for evening or graveyard shifts or for a Premium that only occurs on a Saturday or Sunday.
Threshold This type of Premium is setup so that the employee must have a certain number of hours under a Base Pay Code before the Premium activates. An example of this would be used to give the employee a pay differential for any hours over 35 in the work week. This type of policy works very similar to an Overtime Policy.
Policy This Premium type is setup so that the Premium is activated every time the employee has worked hours. This type of policy can apply to a department, job, or task for example.
Call Back This application type allows you to specify a number of hours between shifts worked, and gives employees a Premium for being called back into work before the specified number of hours has passed. This includes time spanned across midnight, but does not include punches for lunches, breaks, etc. The number of Off Shift Hours specifies how long after a shift ends before the Call Back policy will go into effect. Employees will not receive Overtime and Call Back pay at the same time. If the employee works on a Holiday and gets called back in, Call Back pay will take precedence.
Employee This application type is for use with paid Absence or Holiday hours.

The specified Premium is automatically applied to the selected "non-worked" hours. This type cannot be applied to "Worked" hours, and Supervisors have the ability to override the Premium from the Time Card.
