Configuring PR Overtime Schedule

PR Overtime Schedule maintains daily overtime rules used by employee, craft, or job. Daily thresholds are 0-24 hours (example: 8 means OT after an 8-hour day; 0 means all hours are OT). Use multiple levels for premiums (example: OT after 8 hours, double time after 10.5).

There is no separate weekly-threshold field. Weekly behavior comes from day-of-week settings on the schedule. Shift-specific schedules can override standard rules.

Before you start

• OT (and double-time) earnings codes exist in PR Earnings Codes.
• PR Company Parameters Overtime Earnings Code is set (feeds Level 1 default).
• Decide whether schedules will be assigned on Job Master, Employee Master, Craft Master, and/or Craft Template.

Steps

1. Open PR Overtime Schedule.
2. Enter Schedule ID (0-255) and Description (up to 30 characters).
3. For each level you need:
   • Set the hour limit (0-24). Level 1 is required.
   • Set OT Code to an earnings code from PR Earnings Codes. Level 1 initially defaults from PR Company Parameters Overtime Earnings Code.
4. Configure day-of-week rows so weekly patterns emerge from daily rules (example five-day 10-hour schedule: 40 regular + 10 OT across the week via daily thresholds, not a separate weekly field).
5. Create shift-specific schedules when shifts need different rules.
6. Assign the schedule on Job Master, Employee Master, Craft Master, or Craft Template as used by your OT option hierarchy.

Notes

• Craft OT schedule and employee OT options must agree with how timecards are entered.
• Client labor-policy compliance is outside Vista; validate thresholds with payroll/legal before go-live.
