Record overtime or split a day across several jobs

Enter regular and overtime separately using the actual rates that apply. The program does not decide payroll overtime rules.

Steps

  1. Create one time entry for each job and work date. Put only that job’s portion of the day on each entry.
  2. Enter regular hours and regular rate, then overtime hours and overtime rate. Do not include the overtime hours again in regular hours.
  3. If an employee worked shop or admin hours, assign that portion to Company / shop overhead.
  4. Review all entries for the same employee/date. Combined regular and overtime hours, including Draft entries, cannot exceed 24.

Check that it worked

The day’s combined hours match the employee’s actual work; approved costs go to the correct jobs or overhead.
