Overtime
The Overtime counter measures time worked beyond the full-time week (FTE), at the premium rate. It is the band above additional hours, and is never negative. (Danish payroll: overarbejde.)
When to use
- Pay or bank hours above a full-time week at a premium (typically ×1.5 or ×1.25, applied by the settlement step that credits it).
- Combined with Additional hours on the same FTE, so the two bands meet exactly: base rate up to the FTE, premium above it.
Parameters
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Full-time week (FTE) | A full-time employee’s weekly hours, in hh:mm (e.g. 37:00). Overtime is the time worked beyond this. |
| Raise threshold to norm | When the employee’s norm exceeds the full-time week, raise the overtime threshold to their norm so contracted hours aren’t paid as overtime. On by default; turn off to start overtime at the full-time week regardless of norm. |
How it works
For the week, the counter takes max(worked − threshold, 0), where the threshold is the FTE — or, when Raise threshold to norm is on and the norm is higher, the norm. It resets each week and is always zero or positive; the premium itself is applied by the settlement step that credits it (e.g. over * 1.5).
Keep Raise threshold to norm the same on Overtime and on the matching Additional hours counter — otherwise the two bands can overlap or leave a gap for employees whose norm is above the full-time week.
