| TimeWorksPlus: otrules (OTThresholdScript Processing Rule) | ||||||
| ||||||
| The reasoning for using "otrules" scripting is to be able to apply different overtime rules for different situations. Some examples are: - Employees that reside in different states that have different overtime laws. - Different overtime rules based on the status of employment (Union, Full-Time, Part-Time, Salaried etc.). - Different overtime rules based on the day of the week. To enable "otrules" type scripting first enable the OTThresholdScript Processing Rule found by going to Accountant Menu > Processing Rules and doing a search for "OTThresholdScript" or click on the "Overtime" radial button and select it from this list. The script consists of the below: otrules ("Two Letter Overtime Rule"); A set of overtime codes can be found here TimeWorks Plus: Overtime Processing Rules. For example if I wanted to use the script for California's overtime rule it would be: otrules ("CA"); From here you can do a few things like apply the rule to different employees. For example, if an employee has "CA" (no quotes) in Home 1 of employee setup it would be: if (employee.home1 = "CA") { otrules ("CA"); } For 40 hours in a week the code is "". For example: if (employee.home1 = "40") { otrules (""); } For no overtime, usually dealing with Salaried employees the below would work if you have "Salary" (no quotes) in Home 2 of Employee Setup: if (employee.home2 = "Salary") { otrules ("NO"); } If you are just looking to change the OT Thresholds for specific employees you can use the following examples as reference: if(employee.home1 = "NoOT"){ ot1daythreshold = 24; ot1threshold = 40; ot2daythreshold = 24; ot2threshold = 200; } Now I set the daily to 40 and weekly to 200 so that the OT Threshold is never hit. So this would be for an employee that never gets OT in a company that has some type of OT setting. | |
