• Funding Source

• Has the highest priority

• Defined for a funding source

• Will only be present in the OT Rules table in FI mode 

• If present will supersede company and state rules unless an employee works both under and outside a funding source in the same pay week 

• Is based on the employee's relationship to the client (kinship, live-in caregiver, none) so there will always be three funding source rules for a funding source ID

• If an employee works under multiple funding sources, the most employee-friendly rule is used.

• If in a payroll batch, an employee works under a funding source but also works outside of a funding source (i.e., admin, training, residential, day, parenting, drive) then a company or state rule should be used

• Company

• Has the second highest priority behind the funding source overtime rule type

• Defined for a state 

• Can be more or less employee-friendly than a state or state relationship exemption rule

• State Relationship Exemption

• Has the third highest priority but only when it fully and exclusively applies

• Defined for a state

• Based on employee relationship to client. Currently only the state of CA has this type of rule, and it applies only to live-in caregivers.

• If a state relationship exemption rule is present, the employee works in only that state, and all of their employee service accounts are live-in caregiver, this rule should be selected. If the employee works in another state or has employee service accounts for which they are not live-in caregivers, then a state rule would be selected.

• State 

• Has the lowest priority and is the fallback rule since every state in the United States must at least have a state rule that follows the federal 40 weekly overtime rule

• Defined for a state

Overtime Types

The term overtime describes when an employee is required to be paid above their standard pay rate because they have exceeded a working threshold. The amount above their standard pay rate is referred to as a multiplier and is most commonly 1.5x or 2x their normal pay rate. There are several scenarios in which an employee becomes eligible for overtime pay. Below is a table listing the current types of overtime in the United States.
