Overtime Settings

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to establish overtime related controls.

The settings you designate in this screen will be evaluated as you process timesheets for hourly and salaried employees.

You should select the appropriate checkbox to enable a feature; otherwise, you should leave the checkbox blank, thus disabling the option.

The auto-adjust functionality plays an integral role in the calculation of labor rates and labor costs.  The auto-adjust feature synchronizes timesheet data with the data in the Employee Salary Information record; therefore, when you execute the Compute Payroll program for salaried employees there will be no pay variance.

If, for example, a salaried employee (who is not eligible for overtime) works 50.00 hours in a week, you may auto-adjust his pay at 100% if the employee is to be paid his standard salary amount based on data in the Employee Salary Information screen (People\Maintain\Employee).  By auto-adjusting the pay at 100%, the employee's effective hourly rate is reduced by dividing 50 hours into the employee's salary amount displayed in the Employee Salary Information screen.

When should I use this screen?

You must initialize this screen before entering timesheets.
