Create a Rule That Calculates the Daily 8h Threshold for Expenditure and Payroll Time Types

You want to calculate daily regular and overtime hours to store with expenditure and payroll types.

This rule uses an 8-hour threshold and updates reported time by adjusting calculated results, rather than creating more hours. It stores calculated hours below the threshold with the Professional Straight Time expenditure type and the Regular pay attribute value. It stores calculated hours over the threshold with the Professional Overtime expenditure type and the Overtime pay attribute.
