Overtime Rules: Implementation Activity

In the following implementation activity, you will learn how to configure overtime rules.

Story

Suppose that the SweetLife company wants to use the following overtime rules:

  • If an employee works over eight hours (but less than 10 hours) on any day, the overtime pay rate should be calculated based on the OT (Overtime) earning type.
  • If an employee works over 10 hours on any day, the overtime pay rate should be calculated based on the DT (Double Time) earning type.

Acting as a system administrator, you need to configure the needed overtime rules.
