When an employee is assigned to a position, use these instructions to set the overtime test method. Overtime occurs when an employee works additional hours in excess of the 40 hour workweek. Connect uses the Overtime Test Method to define the workweek for calculating overtime pay.
For example, City XYZ uses a standard workweek to calculate overtime for office employees. Jane sets the value in the Overtime Test Hours to 40 hours per week. When employee 5 submits 45 hours for the pay period, the system uses this equation...
Overtime Hours = Hours Worked - Hours Worked for Overtime Test
For employee 5, the formula calculates 5 hours of overtime (45 - 40 = 5).
