There are two ways to set up overtime rates:
Assign overtime rates to a particular employee
If you have multiple employees to assign overtime rates for, you can use the Bulk Import function.
Assigning overtime rates to a particular employee
Go to My Employees > select the employee profile > Employment > scroll to the Payroll section > click on the Edit button.
Select the option for either Daily Overtime or Weekly Overtime accordingly. Key in the rates of the Overtime Pay as either a Multiplier of Basic Hourly Rate or an Actual Rate.
You can also set the overtime rates for the different types of days:
Assigning overtime rates to multiple employees
Go to My Employees > Add User dropdown > Bulk Import.
If you already have existing data in the system, you should click on "Template with existing employees data" to download and see all the current information and make the necessary changes.
If not, you can download a blank template and fill in the necessary details.
In the template, these are the fields to edit:
"Has overtime" - set it to "TRUE"
"Normal overtime rate of pay" - change it if necessary
"Off overtime rate of pay" - change it if necessary
"Rest overtime rate of pay" - change it if necessary
"Holiday overtime rate of pay" - change it if necessary
"Basic hourly rate of pay fixed amount" - add the fixed amount if you wish to use a fixed amount
Once you have edited the template, drag and drop the file into the dotted area, or click on the area to upload it.
If there are errors, there will be an error message with hints on which fields are causing the error.
If there are no errors, double check that the information you're changing is correct, and then click on the Save & Complete button.
