The ability to calculate overtime for fortnightly-paid employees was added.  

A new feature, Shift Payment Rule Week Start Date, was added to Feature Management.  The feature allows for the:

1. Activation/deactivation of its use (check/uncheck the feature)
2. Start Date of the week to be defined i.e. 1 = Sunday; 2 = Monday.
3. Calculation of overtime from the Start Date of the week as defined (Sunday or Monday), regardless of the pay cycle start date.
4. Calculation of overtime for both weekly and fortnightly-paid employees.
5. Automatic generation of the appropriate cycle changes for straight time and overtime when the timesheets are posted.

Example:

• Employee A worked 36 hours between Monday and Thursday.  
• Employee A worked 8 hours each on Saturday and Sunday.

Employee A works no other hours in the cycle and overtime is paid in excess of 40 hours.

Calculating Overtime:

The system will determine the:

1. week start date as defined in Feature Management.
2. number of hours already worked for that week outside of the current cycle being posted (this value is taken from the timesheet history table (already paid timesheets) which were approved, not absent and part of the same payment rule).
3. maximum hours to be paid at each rate bracket and reduce this value by the number of hours worked within the week prior to the cycle start.
