Double overtime pay

What's double overtime?

Double overtime is two times an employee's highest, hourly pay rate. Employees must be paid double overtime for:

• Any hour worked beyond a 12-hour workday
• All of the hours worked that are more than 8 hours on the seventh consecutive day of work in a work week

To add a double overtime (2x hourly rate) pay type for an employee:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click the employee's name, and then click Edit employee.
3. Under How much do you pay this employee? click Add additional pay types if you haven't selected any other pay types, or click the pencil icon if you have.
4. Select the Double Overtime Pay checkbox.
5. Click Done.

The next time you create a paycheck for this employee, Double OT Hrs appears in the payroll header.
