Overtime Pay Calculation on Flat Sum Bonus Payments

Existing FLSA or Alternative Overtime functionality remains unchanged.

After the FLSA or Alternative Overtime rate is calculated, the system calculates automatically any overtime pay on flat sum bonus for any employee who meets all of these conditions:

1. The employee has an employee type of Hourly or Exception Hourly.

2. The employee receives regular earnings. If the regular earnings are paid for multiple states, the regular hours from all states will be used in calculating the regular bonus rate, which is used in calculating any overtime amount(s) due on flat sum bonus payments in states where such overtime on flat sum bonus payment calculations are required (currently only in California).

3. The employee has FLSA status of Nonexempt Alt Overtime.

4. The employee receives a flat sum bonus payment for which:

   • The earnings code is specified on the Flat Sum Bonus Table page, and

   • The state to which the earnings code pertains is the same state listed on the payline (currently California only).

5. The employee receives overtime pay for which:

   • The overtime earnings codes are mapped to overtime on flat sum bonus earnings codes on the Overtime on Flat Sum Bonus Table page, and

   • The state to which the overtime earnings code mapping pertains is the same state listed on the payline (currently California only).
