Zone Differential (Premium Rules) Module Introduction
The activation of the Zone Differential Module provides a way to increase an employee's pay for
working during certain times of the day. Premiums are broken into three sections of zone
window, qualifications, and awards. The Premiums module falls under the daily rules section of
the tree view. Premiums will be assigned to a daily rule. Then the daily rule can be applied to
either an employee or Pay Class. Below is a sample of the new daily rule module.

Using the Zone Differential (Premium Rules) Module
Note: The Zone Differentials Module with
Zone Award
node will not be visible in the tree view (located under Daily Rules) until the
optional Zone Differentials Module is activated.
Zone Differentials are a way to increase an employee's pay for working during certain times or
"Zones" of the day. Zone Differentials consist of Zone Codes, Qualification Rules, and Zone
Awards. The Zone Differential module is located within the Daily Rules module in the Tree View.
Zone Differentials are assigned to a Daily Rule.
Zone Differentials can be initially filtered in ascending order by using a field with a dropdown list
located on the top of the zone differential window (see the following figure). The choices in this
list are; Name or Description.
