Where do I define the overtime test hours?
The Overtime Test Hours sets the number of hours in an employee's standard work week. When the number of hours worked is more than the employee's overtime test hours, Timekeeping flags the extra hours as overtime hours.
Example
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).
