Instructions:
Create Overtime Rule
1. To create a custom overtime rule, start by going to Settings --> Overtime:
2. Once on the Overtime Settings page, click the +Add a New Custom Overtime Rule button:
3. You can set up a weekly and daily overtime threshold. If an employee should not earn overtime or double time on a specific day, either leave that day unchecked or the values empty:
Tip: If you want all of the hours worked on a specific day to count as Overtime, put a 0 in the OT column for that day. If you want all of the hours worked on a specific day to count as Double Time, put a 0 in both the OT and DBT columns for that day.
4. Assign it to the appropriate employees and Save once done.
