Example of Overtime Pay Calculation on Flat Sum Bonus Payment that Spans Across Multiple Pay Periods

If a flat sum bonus spans multiple FLSA periods, the system splits the flat sum bonus earning automatically into the appropriate FLSA periods, following the same method currently used to prorate a production bonus across multiple FLSA periods.

In this example, a $200 flat sum bonus is entered on an off-cycle payroll for the period between September 10 and September 23, which includes two FLSA periods:

• First: 09/10/2018 - 09/16/2018

• Second: 09/17/2018 - 09/23/2018

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Paysheet page where a flat sum bonus is applied to two FLSA periods.

During pay calculation, the flat sum bonus amount of $200 is split into these two FLSA periods automatically, $100 for each period:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payline page where a split flat sum bonus is added to the first of the two FLSA periods.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payline page where a split flat sum bonus is added to the last of the two FLSA periods.

The original $200 bonus for the period of September 10 and September 23 is backed out:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Payline page where the old flat sum bonus is backed out.

Then, the calculation of overtime due on the flat sum bonus is performed for each FLSA period, as described in Example of Overtime Pay Calculation on Flat Sum Bonus Payment (Option 1 - Overtime Paid With One Earnings Code), or Example of Overtime Pay Calculation on Adjusted Flat Sum Bonus Payment (if the transaction includes a prior period adjustment).
