Understanding Overtime Payments
Global Payroll for France delivers a number of different earnings to process overtime hours. The majority of these earnings are defined with an override level of Positive Input, have a calculation rule of Unit x Rate x Percent, and have the Unit (overtime hours) component of their calculation rule set to Payee Level. This means that they must be assigned to individual payees before they can be processed, and require positive input for the Unit component. You can use these earning elements as delivered, modify them to suit your needs, or create your own overtime earning elements.
The delivered overtime earnings assume that overtime hours are calculated outside of Global Payroll for France and then entered into the system through positive input in one of three ways:
If you are using PeopleSoft Time and Labor, the hour data is fed into the Global Payroll system through the automated positive input functionality.
If your organization uses a third-party time and labor application, the calculation of the different types of work hours is done by that application, and then the data is passed to Global Payroll for processing through automated positive input.
If you are not using a time and labor application to manage your hourly data, then you must enter the data manually.
Note: Some payees, such as executive managers, are not subject to normal overtime rules. Such payees may not be eligible for overtime. PeopleSoft does not control whether overtime must be paid for each category of payee. It is your responsibility to decide whether to input extra hours for these payees.
Warning! PeopleSoft does not restrict the input of hours that are over the legal limit. It is up to you to apply the law to your setup. If you want an automated method by which to control the input of hours to ensure that they do not exceed the legal limit, you can use PeopleSoft Time and Labor.
