How to Use Overtime Rules in Remote Payroll

Implementing and Managing Custom Overtime Policies for Effective Payroll Processing


1. Accessing the Feature: 

  • Log in as an HH2 admin. 
  • Navigate to System Settings and locate Payroll Configuration.  
  • Enable the Overtime Rules by checking off "Allow." 
2. Creating a New Overtime Rule: 
  • Go to the Remote Payroll section and select Pay Type Rules
  • Click on Create New Rule
  • Name your rule (e.g., "OT Daily Rule") based on the overtime policy (daily or weekly). 
3. Configuring the Rule: 
  • Specify the pay types for regular and overtime hours. 
  • Set the overtime threshold, such as "8 hours" for daily overtime. 
  • Optionally, set up double time by selecting a double time pay type and defining a threshold. 
4. Applying Rules to Employees: 
  • Choose the employees to whom the rule will apply. You can select all or specific employees. 
  • Note: The system currently supports only one overtime rule per employee. If an employee already has a rule assigned, you will need to confirm if you want to replace it with the new rule. 
5. Saving Your Settings: 
  • Before saving, a confirmation box will appear if there is an existing rule for selected employees. 
  • Confirm your changes to apply the new rule. 
6. Effect of the Rule: 
  • Overtime rules automatically apply based on the setup during payroll processing. 
  • Users (managers or field laborers) will see overtime applied to timesheets, which can be manually adjusted if necessary. 
  • Overtime rules are not retroactive and will only apply to time entered after the rule has been established.
