• Overtime pay rules overview Report an error

  “Overtime and pay rules let you pay employees correctly for extra hours and special situations, automatically. You can set up overtime multipliers, additional rates, flat amounts such as bonuses and reimbursements, and break compliance penalties. Each rule applies on the timesheet and flows into your payroll export, so you do not calculate anything by hand.”

• Overtime vs pay rules Report an error

  “Overtime increases pay for hours beyond a standard limit. For example, an employee who works more than 8 hours in a day. Pay rules add extra pay for specific hours or situations. For example, working on Christmas, a night shift, or earning a bonus, tip, or reimbursement.”

• Policy default auto assign Report an error

  “Choose whether this is a default policy. A default policy is assigned automatically to every new employee who joins the company app.”

• Rule types Report an error

  “Regular: Sets the base wage. You can create several regular rules for different employee groups. Overtime: Multiplies the base wage by a multiplier you set (for example 1.5x or 2x), for hours worked beyond a limit such as 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week. Special Rate: A standalone rate for matching hours. The hours are deducted from Regular and paid by the Special Rate factor only, so they are never paid as both Regular and a premium. They appear in their own column. Additional rate: Adds either a fixed amount per hour worked, or a percentage multiplier on top of regular or overtime wages. Flat pay: Adds a fixed dollar amount for a day worked, for bonuses, tips, commissions, or reimbursements. See “How to create a flat pay rule”. Premium: Adds extra pay for break violations or when the spread of hours exceeds the set limit”

• Payroll code field Report an error

  “Enter a rule name, and add a Code if your payroll provider needs one, for example WKND.”

• Partial multiplier holiday pay Report an error

  “To separate holiday pay from overtime, you can set the multiplier to a partial value. For example, if employees are paid 1.5x for holiday hours, set the multiplier to 0.5. Connecteam calculates the additional pay separately and adds it to the regular hourly rate, which appears in its own column on the timesheet.”

• Multiple daily overtime rules Report an error

  “You can create more than one daily overtime rule. For example, you can pay 1.5x after 8 hours and 2x after 10 hours on the same day.”

• Advanced rule scoping Report an error

  “There you can exclude overtime from other conditions, and limit a rule to specific jobs, clients, or projects by turning on Limit condition to specific job items only and selecting the relevant items.”

• Time off overtime eligibility Report an error

  “Time off hours only help reach the threshold. They never receive an overtime premium. Only worked hours beyond the threshold are paid as overtime.”

• Weighted overtime Report an error

  “A weighted overtime rate averages the different rates an employee earns during a pay period, based on the hours worked at each rate, and uses that average as the base for their overtime pay.”

• Weighted overtime prerequisite Report an error

  “Make sure the Pay Rates feature is enabled for your account.”

• Flat pay use Report an error

  “A flat pay rule adds a fixed dollar amount to an employee’s pay for a day worked. Use it for bonuses, tips, commissions, reimbursements, or allowances that are not tied to hours.”

• Break premium Report an error

  “A breaks premium rule automatically pays a penalty when an employee’s mandatory break is missed, taken late, or cut short. This is common where break penalties are legally required, such as California.”

• Spread of hours penalty Report an error

  “A spread of hours penalty pays employees an extra amount when the time between the start and end of their workday exceeds a set number of hours, even if part of that span was unpaid. This is common in jurisdictions such as New York.”

• Break premium dismiss reapply Report an error

  “When you review a timesheet before approving payroll, you can remove a premium that was applied to a specific break violation, or restore one you removed earlier.”

• Overtime conditions Report an error

  “Condition When it applies Daily When an employee works more than a set number of hours in a day. For example, 1.5x after 8 hours, Monday to Friday. Weekly When an employee works more than a set number of hours in a week. For example, an extra amount per hour after 40 hours. Pay period When an employee works a set number of hours in a payroll period, for example 60 hours per pay period. Partial day When an employee works specific hours, for example Monday to Friday between 21:00 and 01:00. Consecutive days When an employee works more than a set number of days in a row, for example after the 5th consecutive day. Holiday On specific dates set in advance, for example 2x on December 31. You can repeat it every year.”

• Employee timesheet visibility Report an error

  “Overtime appears under the OT column, and any flat pay or premium added to your day appears as its own line.”

• Payroll export rows format Report an error

  “When you export payroll totals, you can show pay rules as rows instead of columns. Each pay rule, including flat pay and premiums, appears in its own row to match your payroll provider’s structure. The original column-based export is still available under the Columns format option.”

• Premiums in payroll integrations Report an error

  “Premium amounts are included in the export, in supported payroll integrations, and in estimated pay.”

• Rule effective date replaces Report an error

  “Choose the effective date. This replaces existing pay rules effective on that date.”
