Midday Overtime Periods

You can split your employees' time entry based on work day definitions. Use the Work Day Definition task to allocate time and absences by midday periods. The entries on the person's time card are allocated based on work day definition.

Enable Midday Overtime Periods

You enable midday overtime periods at the legislative data group level.

When you do:

1. It enables the split behavior for the Overtime only entry.

2. Whenever you have a time or absence entry to a person's Time or Absence card, it automatically gets the Overtime Date override.

3. When the overtime period is split midday, the payroll process may pass different dates on an element.

To enable midday overtime periods:

1. Start the Calculation Value Definitions task.

2. Search for the Time value definition group.

3. Select US Overtime Split Calculation Preference.

4. Under Calculation Values, click Add Row.

5. Enter the following.

   Field name	What you enter
   From Value	0
   To Value	999999
   Text	Y

6. Click Submit.

Configure the Employee Time Cards

To divide an employee's time card by midday periods:

1. Define an element of Time Card or Absence category.

2. Create the element eligibility link for the new element's Overtime Only indirect element.

   This sets element entry based on the overtime date passed by Oracle Cloud Time and Labor. If you made absence hours eligible for overtime when you defined the elements, the process uses them for calculating overtime premium.

3. Use the Work Day Definition task to create a work day definition, and define the Overtime Day Definition rules to split a day start time.

4. Assign the work day definition to the eligible employee.
