How do I set up an overtime override pay code for an employee?

Add an overtime override pay code to an employee to use a different overtime calculation to calculate overtime for the employee. 

For example, Casey works in the police department as an administrative assistant. The department uses an overtime override pay code to calculate overtime for the police officers who work a shift. Because Casey works a standard 40 hour work week, the payroll clerk assigns an overtime override pay code to Casey so Casey's payroll check will not use the overtime override pay code that is assigned to the rest of the department. 

If there's an overtime pay code at the department level, the employee's overtime override pay code will override the overtime pay code that's assigned to the department.
