| How do you make Regular not Promote to Overtime? | ||||||
| Answer | ||||||
| There are four ways this can be done: 1. Go to Accountant Menu > Change Pay Period / OT Rules and at the filed marked 'Enter code for overtime rule set:' enter 'NO' (without the quotes). This effectively disables all overtime calculations. 2. Using the 'OT Threshold' (Scripting - Overtime/Doubletime Threshold) script and scripting it to a variable that is impossible for example if the employee works more than 2000 hours in a week promote to overtime. Since 2000 hours in a week is impossible it will never promote. 3. In Employee Setup you can use the 'Additional Options' field and enter nonotweek=2000 and this would be the same idea as what you would do through scripting in example 1. By creating an unreachable variable (2000 hours in a week) it will never promote to overtime. This also makes it flexible as you can have this only apply to certain employee's where as in example 1 unless you added more to the script it would apply to all employee's. NOTE: In TimeWorksPlus you would need to activate the OTThresholdGlue processing rule and enter the code in that field. 4. Another way (but not advisable as it changes where 'Regular' goes as far as a category) would be to have them clock into another pay/job code other than Regular by writing a script that forces Regular hours to that new category like the below example: if (category = "Regular") { category = "Hourly"; } So if the employee clocks in it will automatically divert all Regular hours to Hourly which the system does not know to promote to overtime (unless you chose to do so in the 'OTCategories' section). You may also have to in Pay Code translation translate Hourly so that it exports in the Regular field/pay code of your pay roll software. //HD - corrected spelling error on 6/21/18 | ||||||
