Payroll - Non-exempt salaried employees

[mbirt]

I am trying to determine how to allow/incorporate over-time compensation in the Payroll Module for salaried employees. It appears that over-time information is only allowed to be input for hourly employees. However, with the new Department of Labor regulation that will go into effect on December 1st, we will have salaried employees that will be provided over-time compensation. Will there be an update to PowerChurch Plus in response to this, or is there currently a way to accomplish this?

You would create a new INCOME pay item under Maintain Item Descriptions in Payroll. I'd model it on the current salary pay item with all the taxes etc, but declare it as Overtime Pay. I'd add it to the employees as needed under the Maintain List of Employees function. It does not have to be active each pay period, as you may not have overtime each period. However, when you process payroll you will select the checkbox under the payroll dates that says Supress specific items from being processed this time only. Then on the Enter Salary Payroll screen of Process Payroll, you can add any overtime salary for each employee for that period, you would want to enter 0.00 for those employees without OT. If there is no overtime for anyone, on the next screen Process Items you would UNCHECK the overtime salary. Conversely, if there was OT, you'd have it selected.

You can create individual OT pay items for each employee if you want, or not.

Hope this helps.
