Define Wage Types to be used for Overtime

If you are using the standard Wage Types Datatech provides, they will already be linked in the Program Setup.

If you set up or imported your own codes form another software, you may need to edit the Wage Types the software will use when it creates overtime entries. To review and edit the wage types that will be used for overtime, go to Tools > Program Setup > Payroll tab > Minimum Wage/Overtime tab.

Straight Hourly Overtime

The first option is straight hourly overtime and double-time. For this, the software will use the Overtime and Double-time codes entered in the Default Wage Types section (unless you have defined codes in the Overtime Rules > Wages Types tab). This is shown in the following image:

Overtime Premium

The second option is Overtime Premium for when there is more than one pay rate for the work week. The standard wage codes for this section are OP (Overtime Premium) and DP (Double-time Premium).

If you are not using the basic wage types Datatech set up, you will need to assign a wage code used for Overtime Premium. Go to Payroll > Setup > Wage Types.

Both the Overtime and Double-time Premium should be set to

Base Pay Type: Piecework

Overtime Factor: 1.00
