Method 1

Beginning with the most recent timecard in the period and working backwards one timecard at a time, the system removes time that should be considered overtime from the existing timecards until the system accounts for all overtime. The system creates one new timecard for each original timecard on which overtime hours are removed and creates new timecards using the same data as the original timecards, with the exception of the pay type and rate, which are derived from the information that you enter in the accumulator rule. You might use this charge-to method if you track overtime by criteria, such as work order or account number.

For example, a warehouse employee works 43 hours in a week. You can pay the employee at the regular pay rate for the first 40 hours and at the overtime rate for the remaining 3 hours. The system removes 3 hours from timecards, starting with the most recent timecard and working backwards until the system accounts for all 3 hours. The system creates new timecards for those 3 hours and changes the original timecards to reflect the time that was removed.

This table illustrates the number of hours that are included on the timecards before and after processing:
