This article explains the various overtime settings available in Protiv, including weekly, daily, and seventh-day overtime, and how to configure them to comply with labor laws. 💼⚖️
Overtime pay is a crucial aspect of labor law, and Protiv makes it easy to ensure your company's practices are compliant. Here's a breakdown of the overtime settings in Protiv:
Weekly Overtime: 🗓️
- Purpose: This setting defines when an employee starts earning overtime pay based on the total number of hours worked in a week.
- Threshold: The number of hours an employee must work in a week before overtime pay kicks in. This is typically 40 hours in the U.S., but it can vary based on your location and industry regulations.
- Multiplier: The overtime pay rate multiplier for hours worked beyond the threshold. The most common multiplier is 1.5 (time and a half), meaning the employee earns 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for overtime hours. However, this can also vary based on local laws.
Daily Overtime: ☀️
- Purpose: Similar to weekly overtime, this setting determines when an employee starts earning overtime based on the number of hours worked in a single day.
- Threshold: The number of hours an employee must work in a day to qualify for overtime pay. This varies depending on local regulations.
- Multiplier: The overtime pay rate multiplier for hours worked beyond the daily threshold.
Seventh Consecutive Day Overtime: 📅📅📅📅📅📅📅
- Purpose: This setting is for companies that offer additional overtime pay when an employee works seven consecutive days in a row.
- Multiplier: The overtime pay rate multiplier for hours worked on the seventh consecutive day. This is often double the regular hourly rate (2.0), but again, it depends on local laws.
