Overtime split

The Overtime split credits a period’s earned overtime across two rates at the full-time line. The part of the overtime that only brings a part-timer up to full-time is banked at the lower rate on the policy’s own account; the part genuinely beyond full-time is transferred to a second account at the upper rate.

Unlike the Pre-paid obligation step it carries no pre-paid threshold and no negative seed — it is a pure two-rate router (one governed account plus one target). It settles monthly: each statement credits its own month’s overtime.

When to use

  • Ordered over-/merarbejde is compensated 1:1 up to full-time and 1:1,5 above full-time, with the two bands going to separate comp-time accounts (for example the HK/statens § 8 split: Afspadsering 1:1 and Afspadsering 1:1,5).
  • A full-timer has no lower band, so all of their overtime is credited at the upper rate.

Parameters

SettingMeaning
InputThe settlement input (alias) whose minutes are split — the period’s ordered-overtime count.
Full-time weekly hoursWeekly full-time hours used to size the part-time gap (default 37h). Overtime up to full-time is credited at the lower rate, the part above at the upper rate.
Target accountAccount the above-full-time portion is credited to (at the upper rate).
Lower rateMultiplier for the hours up to full-time, credited to this account. Default 1.0.
Upper rateMultiplier for the hours above full-time, transferred to the target account. Default 1.5.

How it works

Let M be the period’s earned overtime (from the input alias) and G the part-time gap — full-time minus the employee’s own norm over the month. The step credits min(M, G) to its own account at the lower rate, and transfers max(0, M − G) to the target account at the upper rate. A full-timer has G = 0, so all of M goes to the target at the upper rate.

The split is monthly — it credits the current statement’s overtime. For agreements that accumulate over a longer period before compensating (for example a quarterly availability obligation), use the Pre-paid obligation step instead, which carries a running balance across the period.
