Modifying Overtime Rates Follow

There are three categories of overtime in SpringAhead:

• Default Overtime Rate
• Default Doubletime
• Custom Overtime for Custom Time Types

The Default Overtime rate is 150% of the base rate and can be changed. The Default Doubletime Rate is 200% of the base rate and cannot be changed. 

Changing the Default Overtime Rate

The Default Overtime rate is 150% of the base rate. This rate can be changed on a project-by-project basis but cannot be changed globally. To change the rate:

• Log in as an administrator.
• Click Settings.
• Click Projects and click on the project you wish to make changes to.
• Click on the Time Settings tab.
• If Overtime is not already active, click Add Standard Time Type to add the Overtime time type.
• In its details, you may add a Bill Multiplier or Pay Multiplier. 

• Click Add Standard Time Type, then click Save and Exit.

Changing the Overtime Rate for a Custom Time Type 

The overtime multiples for Custom Time Types are set directly in the Time Type window.

• Click Settings.
• Click Time Types.
• Enter the Multiplier(s). The default multiplier is 1 if the field is left blank.
• Click Save.

The Time Type Multiplier can be overridden at the Project level. To do this:

• Click Settings.
• Click Projects.
• Within the project, click on the Time Settings tab.
• Add a new custom time type or click on one the enabled time types to modify the Multiplier(s) as necessary for the time type. 

• Click Add Time Type or Update, then click Save and Exit.

Please Note: All overtime rates are set as a multiple of the user's bill and/or pay rate. For example, the base overtime multiple is 1.5 (equates to 150% of the user's bill and/or pay rate). Only multipliers are accepted; dollar-based overtime rates are not accepted anywhere in the system. Custom time types or tasks may be set up to address overtime rates that are not based on a multiple of a base rate.
