Regular hours can be automatically converted to overtime hours by the Payroll System.

Note: Other Hours that are not assigned an Hour Type code will be interpreted by the system as Overtime Hours and assigned a pay rate of 1½ times the regular hourly rate.

Hour Type

Other Hours are grouped and reported under one of these codes. Other Hours, by differentiating them from Overtime Hours, can be included or excluded from Union Benefits or Workers Compensation premium calculations. Comp Time hours (CE or CU) are only valid if the CGC Human Resources application is installed.

When a proof is run, Subsistence Pay hours (SB) are multiplied by the Other rate, and a non-taxable travel adjustment is created. The Subsistence Pay hours are then dropped from the process. Premium pay rate is used.

These codes are set up in Payroll File Maintenance.
