Select an overtime calculation option for this Employee:

• N-None – No overtime is calculated, employee is exempt.

• D-Daily – Always calculate overtime for this employee on a daily basis using the OT Schedule specified. Overtime also calculated if 40 hours per week is exceeded.

• W-Weekly – Calculate overtime on a weekly basis only (more than 40 hours per week).

  Note: Weekly OT is applied after all of the daily OT calculations are complete.

• C-Craft – Overtime is based on the craft and craft template that this employee works under. If the craft or craft template has been assigned an OT Schedule, then the daily “rules” at either of those levels is used. All of an employee’s time posted to the craft for the day is accumulated to see if overtime should be calculated. If different OT rules apply to the various templates that this employee has worked under, the order of timecard entry determines which jobs and how much OT is calculated. Weekly OT is applied after all of the daily OT calculations are complete.

• J-Job – Overtime is calculated based on the OT Schedule assigned to the job in the JC Jobs. If two jobs are assigned the same overtime schedule, the jobs will be combined when calculating overtime. If you want to process overtime independently for each job, you will need to assign different overtime schedules to each job.

• P-Posting Seq - This method provides another option for calculating daily overtime and applies to organizations who must adhere to both craft overtime rules and job overtime rules.

  Overtime is calculated only after considering all posting sequences (timecard lines) in each day and applying overtime schedule rules on a line-by-line basis, from top to bottom. The system considers overtime schedules from the job/project, the job's craft template, and the craft master.

  If on a single line, the system encounters more than one overtime schedule that could apply to that line, it applies the schedule that is more generous.

  Important: The order that you enter timecard lines in the PR Timecard Entry form matters.

  Because the system applies overtime schedule rules starting with the top timecard line and working toward to bottom line, a continuous, daily overtime calculation such as this that crosses jobs, crafts, and craft templates means the order that you enter timecard lines can affect how the system calculates wages and attributes those costs to jobs. You may encounter scenarios where if the timecard line entries are reversed, the wages are different.
