Job Billing - Billing Overtime Rules

Sample of the Billing Time Overtime Rules screen

Pgm: JBOVTMRU –Billing Time Overtime Rules; standard Treeview path: Job Billing > Setup > Local Tables > Billing Overtime Rules

Overtime rules are used to define how overtime is applied to the billing rate of Payroll timesheets. These rules only apply to the billing amount. Cost and charge out rules are defined in the Payroll module. For details on the setup and process of Job Billing overtime rules, please see Job Billing - Overtime Rules Processing.

This screen allows for the declaration of overtime rules for all jobs or for specific jobs as required.

Overtime Parameters

Overtime rules are entered by company and job. Each job may have a unique billing overtime rule. If your company has a generic rule which applied to most jobs enter an "*" in the Job field. This rule will then apply to all jobs where specific rules have not been declared.

Over Time Rules

Over time rules can be set up by either daily or weekly but not both. When setting rules, declare the number of hours against the hour code entered before overtime kicks in. If working on a daily basis unique levels for weekday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays may be declared. Weekly can only be specified for the complete week regardless of the types of days.

When entering weekly rules, there is a checkbox on the Rules tab of the Payroll Company Control screen that indicates if weekends and holidays are to be included.

Example 1:

The rules are daily as OT = 8 and DOT = 12.

If the timesheets entered are as follows:

Emp1 Job1 Phase1 Cat1 DAY 1 6 Hours NWHR

Emp1 Job2 Phase2 Cat2 DAY 1 6 Hours NWHR

The system will allocate the billing amount as follows:

Emp1 Job1 Phase1 Cat1 DAY 1 4 Hours NWHR 2 OVHR

Emp1 Job2 Phase2 Cat2 DAY 1 4 Hours NWHR 2 OVHR

Example 2:

The rules are weekly as OT = 40 and DOT = 50.

If the timesheets entered are as follows:

Emp1 Job1 Phase1 Cat1 WEEK 1 26 Hours NWHR

Emp1 Job2 Phase2 Cat2 WEEK 1 26 Hours NWHR

The system will allocate the billing amount as follows:

Emp1 Job1 Phase1 Cat1 WEEK 1 20 Hours NWHR 5 OVHR 1 DTHR

Emp1 Job2 Phase2 Cat2 WEEK 1 20 Hours NWHR 5 OVHR 1 DTHR
