Processing Overtime: Custom Day / Holiday Rules (Legacy Timesheet)

The overtime processing option accurately records the overtime worked, ensuring it is quantified and recorded correctly, as well as adheres to compliance with industrial boards for fair employee compensation and company protection. When configuring the system, administrators define how the overtime hours worked are configured. The overtime hours worked are defined as the hours that exceed the default hours already assigned per week for work. After the Enable Overtime Policy check box is selected (Setup > Timesheet > Timesheet Templates > Timesheet Template Edit > Options tab), the overtime policy can be defined.

Note:

  • Custom overtime rules work in conjunction with the Daily, Weekly and Bi-Weekly rules. If an Overtime rule is set only for the Custom tab, then the system will not apply the rule to the time entries.
  • At least one Overtime rule must be set for the Daily, Weekly or Bi-Weekly tab for the custom rule to be applied.
  • The precedence for processing the overtime rule (highest to lowest) is Consecutive Rule>Holiday Rule>Custom Daily Rule>Daily Rule>Weekly Rule>Bi-weekly Rule.
  • If multiple overtime rules are set for the Custom tab, then the precedence for processing overtime is Custom>Holiday>Monday>Tuesday>... <Sunday>.
