Overtime ranges is a method used to allocate overtime hours to different overtime rates. For example an employee with 15 hours overtime may have the first 10 hours at one rate and the balance at another.
This can work in 2 ways, the first is where overtime is paid after a minimum number of standard hours have been worked, and the other is where overtime is paid at different rates regardless of any minimum hours.
Method 1 - Minimum Hours
In the example below we have assumed that the standard working hours are 176 hours per month. When this number of hours have been worked then the employee is eligible to earn overtime at the rate of 2.0 for the next say 10 hours and then at a rate of 2.5 for hours worked beyond that.
To set up the overtime ranges: Step 1 Setup the Overtime Description and standard hours •Go to the 'Edit', then 'Overtime Ranges' menu options •Press 'Insert' to setup the type of overtime. •Press 'Apply' to save the entries made
Step 2 Once the 'Apply' button has been pressed the 'Insert' button in the lower part of the form becomes active. Use this bottom section to setup the rates that apply to the overtime: •Press 'Insert' •Enter the Upper threshold of the overtime hours worked •Use the radio button to select the rate that applies to the overtime range. •Press 'OK' to save the Overtime Rate • •

We want to be able to show overtime hours coming through using this method
Explain how the 'Day Types' work. - this needs to be tested through
Would you need to setup separate Overtime ranges for Holiday, Off-Day and Shift Day?
Would you be able to tick more than one Day Type when setting an overtime range? Step 3 Now that the overtime ranges have been setup, they now need to be allocated to the employees to which they apply.
This can be done for a group of employees, in bulk, to do this: •Go to the 'Edit', then 'Bulk Employee Master Update' menu options •Select the 'Apply Overtime Range' checkbox, then •Select 'Yes' under the 'Field Value' •Select the employees to which the overtime range applies by pressing the 'Employees' button •Press 'OK' to save the entry •A confirmation message then displays that the entry has been made, •Press 'OK' to confirm, then •Press the 'Close' button to close the screen and move to the next task.
This can be done one employee at a time, to do this: •Go to the 'Edit', then 'Employee Master' menu options •Select the employee to which the overtime range applies •Go to the 'Time Control Settings' tab. •Place a tick in the checkbox 'Apply Overtime Ranges' which can be seen near the bottom of the screen as shown below:

Method 2 - Where there are no Minimum Hours
Under this method no minimum hours are set before overtime is earned.
To set this up: •Go to the 'Setup', 'Defaults' and then the 'Attendance' menu options •Select the 'Custom Options' tab •Place a tick against 'NEC Overtime Splits' •Press 'OK'
Once this is done we then setup the Overtime Ranges under the Edit menu, to do this: Step 1 •Go to the 'Edit', then 'Overtime Ranges' menu options •Press 'Insert' to setup the type of overtime. •Enter the 'Description' of the overtime •Use the Dropdown menu to select the type of 'Rotation' •Use the Dropdown menu to select the type of 'Slot' •Tick the days of the week that this overtime applies to •Press 'Apply' to save the entries made
Step 2 Once the 'Apply' button has been pressed the 'Insert' button in the lower part of the form becomes active. Use this bottom section to setup the rates that apply to the overtime: •Press 'Insert' •Enter the 'Start Time' and the 'End Time' for the overtime •Use the radio button to select the 'Rates' that applies to the overtime range. •Press 'OK' to save the Overtime Rate
