How do daily and weekly overtime threshold calculations work?
Configure standard FLSA 40-hour weekly overtime, California 8-hour/12-hour daily overtime, and 7th consecutive day overtime rules.
YourMedSoft computes overtime using a multi-rule engine: standard FLSA applies 1.5x pay after 40 weekly hours, while California mode applies 1.5x after 8 hours in a workday, 2.0x double-time after 12 hours, and 1.5x for the first 8 hours on the 7th consecutive workday.
