When to use this

Use this option when a short-gap rate should only apply if the previous shift included overtime. This is the UpSheets editor setup for the legacy GAPOT behaviour. The rule applies only when both conditions are true:
  • The current shift starts before the required gap has passed.
  • The previous shift included overtime earnings.

Before You Start

Open or create the Smart Formula from Smart Formulas > Configure. The formula must also include overtime rules so UpSheets can tell whether the previous shift included overtime.

Example Setup

You can also define a standard minimum shift gap rule without the overtime checkbox. When both exist, UpSheets will use the overtime-specific gap rule when the previous shift included overtime and otherwise fall back to the standard gap rule.

Worked Example

Test the Example

Before publishing:
  1. Open Smart Formulas > Simulate.
  2. Add a previous shift that creates overtime and a following shift with a short gap.
  3. Add another short-gap pair where the previous shift does not create overtime.
  4. Click Run Simulation.
  5. Confirm the overtime-specific gap rate only appears after a previous overtime shift.
