Time Processing Rules

Time & Labor processing rules can be set up within the Bullhorn One platform and are added to Company, Job, and Placement records to interpret Timesheet hours and calculate Payable and Billable Charges appropriately.

See the table below for a list of Time Processing Rules available. 

For information on assigning Time and Labor Rules see Assigning Time & Labor Rules to Records

Time Processing Rule	Category	Description
Worked Holiday Threshold	Holidays	Time processing based on predefined holidays and one or more thresholds.
Day of the Week Premium	Threshold	Time processing based on a certain day or multiple days of the week in order to give a candidate a premium based on days.
Non-scheduled Workday	Threshold	Time processing based on a day of the week in order to allow a certain rate for days a candidate does not normally work.
7th Day Threshold (Nth Day)	Threshold	Time processing based on a number of consecutive workdays.
Daily Threshold	Threshold	Time processing within a single day for one or more thresholds, so time worked beyond each threshold is paid at a premium rate.
Daily Min Wage Basis Threshold	Threshold	Time processing within a single day for one or more wage based thresholds; so if a candidate works over a certain amount of time at a certain regular pay rate, they are eligible for a premium rate beyond the threshold.
Period Threshold	Threshold	Time processing based on a processing period and one or more thresholds.
Orientation	Orientation	Time processing based on a new hire going through orientation.
Worked Holiday	Holidays	Time processing based on predefined holidays.
Period Based Quantity	PeriodBasedRate	Provides a set rate as a dollar type Earn Code for certain periods; for example, if a candidate that normally works a day shift is asked to work a night shift, they can be eligible for a bonus via a Period Based Quantity rule.
Guaranteed Hours	Exempt	Time processing that is not strictly tied to the number of reported hours; so on a week or a day where the candidate works less than a certain amount, they are given the hours they were guaranteed.
Low Census	Threshold	This rule is specifically used by hospitals to call an employee off when there’s not enough demand. Most placements have a special clause that allows the hospital a certain number of call-offs per low census period. A low census call-off results in the employee getting paid but the hospital not getting billed or getting billed at a reduced bill rate.
FLSA Adjustment	FLSA	Provides Overtime calculations for candidates who work jobs with different rates. If there is a difference between the normal Overtime calculation and the FLSA Overtime calculation, then an adjustment is added.
