       Write the regular hours the company allows to work, regular hours are calculated by the position rate where the employee is working (Regular hours * position rate) example (40 * 11.50 = 460.00), If the employee works more than the hours specified here all will be count as overtime.

    3. Calculate Per

       Select Period if the company pays in a week, 15 days, 6 monts or salary, Note that if the company pays weekly, salary or more than one day you need to specify the period in days example 7 days, if the company pays daily select Day.

       If you selected in the previous step Period you can specify here in how many days the employee pays, if you selected Day this field cannot be edited because Day is for daily calculation.

    5. Overtime rate per hours

       Speficy the rate you pay as overtime if the employee works more than regular hours you allow to work in your company , example 1.5 that is Hour and half, this calculation is as (Overtime hours * Position rate * 1.5) Example (2 * 11.50 * 1.5 = 34.5)

    
    

    Example
    You pay 40 hours as regular rate (position rate) and the rest as ovetime weekly and you have an employee who worked 45 hours last week, the position where the employee is woking is paid at $11.50 per hour. the employee has worked 40 regular hours and 5 overtime hours. Calculation is as follow.
    
    Regular
    40 (regular hours) * $11.50 (Position rate) = $460.00
    
    Overtime
    5 (overtime hours) * 11.50 (Position rate) * 1.50 = $86.25
    
    Total
    40 (regular) + 5 (overtime) = 45 hours
    $460.00 (regular) + $86.25 (overtime) = $546.25
