Lunch Overtime

Stay compliant with your local requirements! If you are required to apply lunch overtime, this setting will apply each hour worked, after passing a threshold for hours worked without a meal break, to the overtime pay code. It is your responsibility to research and comply with any applicable regulations.  Workwell support is not in a position to offer any legal advice or provide information related to the responsibilities of your organization.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: The punch rounding rules set at the department level will apply to all punches, including breaks and lunches. If this is not appropriate for your organization, you may wish to disable this feature. It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations.
 

Notes:

• Overtime calculations settings are configured at the department level.  This gives you the flexibility of customizing overtime rules for each department based on your company's needs.
• Overtime calculations must be enabled in order for any overtime to be calculated on an employee's timecard.
• In order for the additional overtime types to be displayed, such as daily overtime (OT1), double time (OT2), and weekend overtime, weekly overtime must be configured.
