Creating a "Comp" Overtime Policy

The next step in setting up comp time is to create an overtime policy which uses the comp-specific overtime level.

  1. Click on the main Admin navigation tab, and then on the Overtime link located under the Policies section of the screen. The “Overtime Policies” screen opens.

  2. Click on the [ADD OVERTIME POLICY] icon located at the bottom of the screen. The “Add Overtime Policy” screen opens.

  3. Select the overtime type from the drop-down menu (as in “Daily,” “Weekly,” “Daily Average,” etc.).

  4. Enter a name for this overtime policy.

  5. Select the overtime level that has been set up to use comp time from the drop-down menu.

  6. Enter the rate at which overtime hours will be awarded (as in 1.5 for “time-and-a-half,” or 2 for “double-time”).

  7. Enter the rate at which comp time hours will be awarded (as in 1.5 for "time-and-a-half," or 2 for "double-time").

  8. Enter the number of hours that employees must work before they begin receiving comp time (as in “40” for 40 hours a week, or “8” for 8 hours a day).

  9. Click on the [FINISH/SAVE] icon to add the overtime policy.

Note: This option works in conjunction with the "comp time cap" setting in the Accruals section of the program.  When an employee exceeds the maximum number of allowed comp time hours specified by the comp time cap, any additional hours are paid out as overtime.  These overtime hours are awarded based on the "Overtime Rate" specified in step #6.

See Enabling the Comp Time Setting for further instructions on setting up and using comp time caps.
