Overview

Set up your overtime thresholds so employees are paid extra depending on how many hours they work within a certain time frame. You can adjust the thresholds to calculate weekly, daily, and daily double overtime. For example, if your weekly overtime threshold is set to 40 hours and an employee works 42 hours in one week, they would be paid for two hours of overtime.
