    - Adjustment Rules
      Adjustment Rules can be used to adjust wages or pay bonuses based on time entered in the timecard.
    - Percent Allocation Rules
      Percent Allocation rules allocate employee time across multiple labor categories, based on a selection criterion (labor category, cost center, or pay code). The rules are based on a pre-defined percentage distribution.
    - Cascading Profiles
      Cascading profiles contain cascading policies, which define the paycodes used to trigger cascading accrual takings.

    - Holiday Profiles
      Holiday Profiles allow you to assign holidays, holiday credit rules, and zone rules to employees outside of pay rules and work rules.
    - Pay Rules
      Pay rules control how time and attendance information is processed for each employee.
    - Holiday Credit Rules
      Holiday credit rules specify the requirements for holiday credits and how holiday credits are calculated.
    - Holidays
      The Holidays page enables you to create a list of all the holidays used within your organization without regard to location, employees, and so forth.
    - Work Rules
      Work rules are combinations of work rule building blocks that apply specific pay rules to shifts. These rules determine how employee hours accrue. For details about the work rule building blocks, see Configure Work Rule building blocks.
    - Pay Rule Building Blocks
      Pay rule building blocks are constant within payroll policies; they are not shift-dependent. Pay rule building blocks include:
    - Holiday Credit Rules Building Blocks
      The Holiday Credit Rules Building Blocks are used for defining and configuring holidays.
    - Work Rule Building Blocks
      Work rule building blocks are sets of parameters that control time and attendance functions. A building block can be used in multiple work rules. For example, if different groups of employees share the same Punch Round rule, use the round rule in the work rule assigned to each group.

About paycodes

Paycodes enable you to organize time or money that employees earn, and identify spans of time for payroll purposes.

Time paycodes accrue hours and can be for worked (productive) time, or for unworked (non-productive) time. Regular and Overtime are examples of paycodes for worked or productive time. Vacation and Sick time are examples of paycodes used for unworked or non-productive time. A multiplier can be defined for time paycodes. For example, an overtime paycode could have a multiplier of 1.50 for time and a half.
Money paycodes accrue monetary amounts. Bonus is an example of a paycode that holds a monetary amount. A special type of money paycodes called wage paycodes can be used for historical corrections.

In addition to these standard types of paycodes, the system uses several additional types of paycodes:

Duration paycodes — Paycodes that are used in the paycode distribution assigned to a work rule that is used for a duration of time that employees are paid as worked even though the employee might have taken off-time. Also see, Duration paycode configuration options.
Note: A duration paycode cannot be used to "take" or deduct time from an accrual balance. Additionally, duration paycodes do not appear as an option when requesting time-off. A duration paycode represents a span of time, and to allocate this time, the system first determines how it will distribute the hours across specific taking paycodes. These taking paycodes are associated with various accrual policies (accrual buckets). When the span of time is processed, hours are allocated across the appropriate taking paycodes to determine how much time is deducted from each accrual bucket.
Cascading paycodes — A cascading paycode is a paycode type that is set up to charge time across multiple accrual codes. A cascading paycode can be set up to charge time in a hierarchical flow through multiple accrual codes or it can be used to charge multiple accrual codes concurrently.
