To add your new overtime rule, click on the green Add Overtime Rule button.
Next you may enter in the Name and the Employment Type for your new overtime rule. In addition, you may want to create your overtime rule based on Positions and or Employment Types.
At a maximum you can create 2 daily rules, 1 weekly rule, 1 biweekly rule, or 1 average weekly hours biweekly rule. It is important to note that you can create as many daily or weekly rules as long as the position and or employment type are unique for any additional rules.
Next, you can select the duration of your overtime rule. For example you may state that If an employee works more than X hours (daily, weekly, biweekly or average weekly hours biweekly) they are paid X times their wage.
It may also be important to establish the Pay Code Eligibility for specific rules that are eligible to earn overtime in addition to the pay code earning. These overtime rules may or may not be eligible to earn overtime in addition to the pay code earning. By checking or unchecking the box, you may indicate which overtime rules should earn overtime in addition to the pay code earning and which rules should not.
