Each Overtime Rule uses one or more Overtime Conditions to define the hours that must be worked to qualify for overtime pay. Overtime Conditions can be supported by one or more Sub-Conditions, each of which must be TRUE for the parent Condition to be TRUE. Each Overtime Condition has an associated Pay Code, with any Sub-Conditions automatically using the Pay Code assigned to the parent Condition. Overtime Rules are assigned to one or more Timesheet Patterns.
A training module with some short videos on different aspects of timesheets, including overtime rules and conditions, is available in Sage University.
