Overtime Options

Daily Hours

For example, if Daily Hour Limit = 8 and the employee works 9 hours, 1 hour of overtime is due. If Daily Hour Limit = 8 and the Double Hour Limit = 12 and the employee works 14 hours, 4 hours of Daily Overtime and 2 hours of Double Time is due.

Note: If both Daily and Weekly Hour Limit are set, daily overtime hours are not included when calculating weekly hour total.  For example, if Monday = 9 hours, Tuesday through Friday = 8 hours, and Sat = 4 hours, then the weekly overtime is paid on 4 hours.
