Overtime, Double, and other Calculated Pay Rates
The EBMS software allows the user to set pay rates based on a formula rather than a fixed pay rate. The most common pay rate that is based on a formula is the overtime rate. Overtime pay is normally calculated by adding 50% to the average pay rate.
The example below is from the worker record Pay tab. From the Pay Rates table, highlight a Pay Type row (in this case, Overtime) and click Properties to view the rate formula.
The formula Add 50% makes overtime worth 1.5 times the average rate (commonly referred to as time and a half). Click New Rate to create a new pay type with a customized rate formula for the worker.
Review the Pay Types section for instructions on how to create a Pay Type such as Overtime if it does not already exist.
Calculated Pay Rates can be created from a few different places in EBMS:
- Labor > Labor Options > Pay Types tab: This location lists all the Pay Types in the EBMS system. Click New to create a new pay type or highlight a description line in the table and click Properties to view or edit an existing type. The pay types listed in this this location can be pulled into worker records or defaults throughout EBMS.
- Labor > Labor Options > Worker Categories tab > Edit Defaults: With a category folder highlighted, click Edit Defaults. Go to the Pay Rates table and click New Rate to create a new Pay Type. Use this option with caution, because any defaults will affect every record within the category folder.
- Worker record > Pay tab > Pay Rates table > New Rate: The New Rate button on the Pay tab of the worker record will create a new pay rate for the selected worker.
Open an employee record and click on the Pay tab as shown above. Select a formula-based Pay Type and click on the Properties button to review the Rate Formula.
Formula rates are calculated from the average standard pay rate rather than calculating from the base rate. Note that the overtime rate (or other formula rate) may not equal the rate shown on the Pay tab if the average rate of the standard pay varies from the employee's hourly rate. The average standard pay may vary if the user adjusts individual pay rates within the timecard or if the pay varies based on prevailing wages, etc. Review the Calculating Overtime section for more details.
