When an employee works overtime on a project, Oracle Projects processes the overtime hours according to the employee's compensation rule. For example, if an employee's compensation rule is Hourly, the employee is eligible for overtime pay; if the employee's compensation rule is Exempt, the employee is not eligible for overtime pay.

You can also use compensation rules in your AutoAccounting rules.

Defining Compensation Rules

Prerequisites

   Define an expenditure type with the expenditure types class Overtime. See: Expenditure Types and Expenditure Type Classes.

   To define a compensation rule:

1. In the Compensation Rules window, enter the Compensation Rule and the Overtime Expenditure Type that you want to associate with the compensation rule. Oracle Projects will use this expenditure type when it automatically creates overtime expenditure items.

Note: You must define the compensation rules listed in the Fremont example below to use the example Overtime Calculation program provided by Oracle Projects.

2. If your organization enters and calculates overtime hours manually, use the Defaults for Overtime Entry region to specify the default project and task.

Note: If you want to assign a labor cost multiplier to a project's task, you must enter a Project Number and a Task Number in the Defaults for Overtime Entry region.

3. Save your work.
