When to use this

Use weekly overtime when overtime depends on total hours across a week or assessment period, not just hours in a single day. For example, an employee may receive ordinary pay up to 38 hours in the week, then overtime after 38 hours.

​
Before You Start

Open or create the Smart Formula from Smart Formulas > Configure. Check the organisation’s Start Day / Period in Smart Formula Settings. If employees use different assessment periods, enable employee-level overrides and set them during assignment.

​
Example Setup: Single Weekly Threshold

​
Example Setup: Tiered Weekly Overtime

Test the Example

Before publishing:

  2. Add enough shifts to pass the weekly threshold.

If the week starts on the wrong day, update Smart Formula Settings or the employee-level override.
