Overview: The first day of the workweek and the overtime type assigned to an employee's profile determine how overtime is calculated on their time card. New employees will be created with the account's default overtime type, unless a different one is selected at the time of creation. Administrators are able to control the overtime type for existing employees both in bulk and individually.

Q: I updated the overtime type, but the time card hours aren't changing.

A: When changes are made to an employee's overtime type, their overtime for the current pay period is automatically recalculated according to the new type that's selected for their profile. If you believe that the overtime hours for the current pay period aren't being calculated correctly according to the new rule for their profile, or if you're needing overtime for a previous pay period to be recalculated, please reach out to our Support team for further assistance.

Q: Do I have to update each employee's overtime type one at a time?

A: No, you can update multiple employees at once with the steps here, or all employees at once with the steps here.
