    Uses a weighted average of the staff's pay rates either by day (if daily overtime applied) or by week. For example, if staff worked 4 hours at $50 and 4 hours at $100, the overtime rate is calculated based on the average weighted by time.

  • Highest Rate:
    Applies the highest of the staff's pay rates to all overtime hours, regardless of distribution.
