Enter, or click to select, the two-digit overtime state code to which this record applies. Each timesheet header has the working state code recorded for each employee.

From the drop-down list, select a system code that defines the time period basis for calculating overtime. Valid options are:

• Daily: If you select this option, the overtime calculation computes the number of hours worked in a day and compares that to the exempt hours for this record to determine the overtime hours. For example, 10 hours worked in a day with the exempt hours set to eight hours yields a result of two overtime hours.
• Weekly: If you select this option, the overtime calculation compares the number of hours worked in a week to the number of exempt hours for this record. For example, 44 hours worked in a week (for the same state) with the exempt hours set to 40 yields a result of four overtime hours.

The overtime calculation program takes into consideration timesheets that contain different states with conflicting overtime basis rules. It calculates the overtime for each state separately. States with a daily basis are done first. The weekly OT basis calculation then subtracts out all previous daily OT hours from the weekly calculated overtime hours. You must enter daily timesheets to have this calculation performed accurately. The starting date of the workweek is defined on the Manage Timesheet Periods screen.

This field displays the number of hours that are exempt from classification as overtime hours within the time period defined by the Overtime Basis code for this record. It is used in conjunction with the Overtime Basis code to calculate the number of overtime hours. For example, eight is appropriate for a daily Overtime Basis and 40 is appropriate for a weekly Overtime Basis.
