How to set up overtime to calculate on hours worked over 8 in 1 day instead of hours over 40 in a week

I can help you set up overtime for your employees, Lindac.

 

It's important to note that only account admins can perform this process. Additionally, only working hours count towards overtime. Once set up, this will be displayed on the QuickBooks Time (QBT) payroll report and various other report options.

 

Here's how to set up overtime tracking:

 

  1. In QBT, go to Company Settings.
  2. Select Payroll & Overtime, then click Overtime.
  3. Make your selections.
  4. For more advanced overtime options, you can click Use Pay Rate Engine at the bottom of that window to install the Pay Rate Engine.

 

For more detailed information, you can visit this article: Set up overtime tracking.

 

After that, you can personalize your overtime calculations using the Pay Rate Engine. You can refer to this article for the steps: Customize overtime calculations in QuickBooks Time.

 

In case you want to manage time off accruals, you can check out this article for more guidance: Set up and configure time off accruals in QuickBooks Time.

 

Please let us know if you have follow-up concerns regarding setting up overtime for your employees. Just leave a reply below. We'd be more than glad to help. Stay safe!
