Enter overtime and double-time hours during payroll check entry

Accounting CS doesn't require that a separate pay item be set up for overtime hours and double-time hours. You can use your regular pay items to record and calculate overtime and double-time pay. The following procedure shows how to enter in overtime or double-time hours worked during payroll check entry in
Enter Transactions
or
Enter Batch Payroll Checks
.

Enter Transactions

  • When entering a payroll check, in the Pay section you'll see columns labeled
    OT Hours
    and
    DT Hours
    . You may need to use the horizontal scroll bar to move to the right.
  • Input the number of overtime and/or double-time hours worked in the proper column.
  • If the employee worked in more than 1 location, use the ellipsis next to the description of the pay item to open the
    Payroll Item Distributions
    window and enter the number of hours worked in each location.

Enter Batch Payroll Checks

  • On the
    Rapid
    tab, you'll see columns labeled
    OT Hours
    and
    DT Hours
    .
  • Enter the number of overtime and double-time hours worked in each location (if multiple) for the employee.
  • On the
    Detail
    tab, the input is identical to Enter Transactions, described earlier.

Additional information

When setting up a pay item in
Payroll Items
, the Overtime multiplier defaults to 1.5 times the hourly rate. The Double time multiple defaults to 2.0 times the hourly rate. You can change these defaults at any time on
Setup
, then
Payroll Items
.
