Hours charged are defined by your business rules. When this field is used Hours is typically set to blank to deposit actual hours into the bucket.
Offer Count:	This is a static offer count charged for this penalty. This applies to organizations using offer counts as a fairness criterion. For example, if the person is offered an opportunity regardless of whether that offer is rejected, skipped, or expired this offer count charge is applied to the bucket.

Time(s):	A multiplier used with the work code selected in the previous setting. If the charge applies, then the total charge is this number multiplied by the amount of hours or counts. For example, if 2 is entered here and the offer rejected is for 24 hours of overtime, the charge is 48 (2 x 24). The candidate then sorts accordingly when business rules are applied.
