How do I set up an overtime override pay code for a department?
Use an overtime override pay code to use a different overtime calculation to calculate overtime for employees in a department. Under certain conditions, a department may need to use a formula to calculate overtime.
For example, the police department and fire department hire employees who work a shift instead of a normal 40 hour work week. The state uses a different formula to calculate overtime for a shift employee, so your organization can add an overtime override pay code to the department to use the overtime calculation for a shift employee instead of using the overtime calculation for a regular employee.
If there's an overtime override pay code at the organization level, the department overtime override pay code will override the overtime pay code that's assigned to the organization.
