GPMX_OVR_DAILY |
Enter daily or weekly overtime for an employee. |
Some companies prefer to record overtime on a daily basis and other companies prefer to record it on a weekly basis. Depending on what your business process is, you can record overtime for your employees either daily or weekly. Each employee's overtime record is keyed by pay group, year, week, calendar ID, and the employee's ID and record number.
The formula for calculating overtime is the number of overtime hours worked times the hourly rate times 2 or 3 depending on the overtime parameters you've defined on the Overtime Parameters page.
The system automatically updates positive input records for the employee to synchronize with daily and weekly overtime entries. Also, when you make changes to previously entered overtime and save, the system updates the positive input accordingly.
Note: For each overtime record that you create for an employee, you must select whether to create daily or weekly overtime entries. If you save overtime details and later change between daily and weekly overtime for the employee's specific overtime record, the system deletes the previously saved data.
Use the Enter Overtime MEX page (GPMX_OVR_DAILY) to enter daily or weekly overtime for an employee.
