Pay and payroll
Set up overtime rules
Daily and weekly limits, and rates for overtime, Sundays and public holidays.
Steps
- Open Settings, then Overtime rules.
- Set the daily limit, the weekly limit, or both. Hours above a limit count as overtime.
- Set the multipliers for overtime, Sunday and public holiday hours, for example 1.5.
- Choose who the rule applies to: the company default, a location, or individual people.
Hours over the daily limit are counted once, so they do not also push the weekly total into overtime a second time.
Good to know. Overtime figures are estimates from the rules you set. They are not legal or payroll advice: check the rules that apply to you.
