How to Set Employee Hourly Rates for Overtime

Overview
By default, overtime uses each employee’s base hourly rate. You can override that rate per person.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Go to Payroll → Overtime Settings → Employee Hourly Rate.

2. (Optional) Filter by Department to narrow the list.

3. Check the box next to one or more employees.

4. Enter the desired Hourly Rate (in d).

5. Click Save to apply the custom rate.

Tips

• Only set custom rates for exceptions (consultants, contractors); leave most at default.

• Combine multi‑select with filtering to bulk‑assign the same rate to a team.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

• Entered rate not saved

  • Ensure you clicked Save after editing the field.

• Overtime pay still uses default

  • Confirm the employee is selected in this tab and that a custom rate is present.
