Additional hours

The Additional hours counter measures time worked above the employee’s norm, up to the full-time week (FTE), at base rate. It is the band below overtime. (Danish payroll: merarbejde.)

It is signed: a week worked above the norm banks a positive amount at ×1.0, while a short week is a negative carried time-debt — unless a Norm deficit counter carries the shortfall instead.

When to use

  • Pay or bank ordinary extra hours (above the norm, below full-time) at base rate.
  • For a part-timer, to value the hours between their norm and a full-time week before overtime kicks in.
  • Leave the FTE at 0 and it becomes plain worked − norm — i.e. regular flex with no upper band.

Parameters

SettingMeaning
Full-time week (FTE)A full-time employee’s weekly hours, in hh:mm (e.g. 37:00). Time above this is overtime; below it (above the norm) is additional hours. Leave 0 for no ceiling — plain worked − norm.
Skip the negative remainder on a short weekSkip the negative part on a short week, making the counter the pure surplus between the norm and the full-time week. Turn on when a Norm deficit counter carries the deficit instead, so a short week is not counted twice.

How it works

For the week, the counter takes min(worked, FTE) − norm. Above the norm it is positive (up to the FTE ceiling); below the norm it is negative, unless Skip the negative remainder is on, in which case a short week contributes nothing.
