    1. (1) 4000.00

    2. (2) 10000.00

  2. Click on Apply to save the changes.

  3. Please check in Housekeeping, Table Maintenance, and the Working Hours Table. Please change:

    1. Hours Per Day = 7.5

    2. Hours Per Year = 2340

  4. Click OK to save the changes.

  5. Please check in Personnel, Add/Update Employees, Settings. Look for Overtime Setting. Choose Max Pay to calculate OT, either 4000.00 or 10000.00.

  6. Process Pay to view the changes.

Note:
In the working hours table, working hours per day remain as 8 hours. The calculation for overtime will follow this formula instead:
Basic Rate x 12 months / Hours per year.

  • Hours per year will follow the new Overtime rate limit of 45 hours per week or 7.5 hours per day to a total of 2340 hours per year.

  • The old Overtime rate is 48 hours per week or 8.0 hours per day to a total of 2496 hours per year.
