Blended Rate of Pay Chart or Guide

Does anyone have a handy chart or guide to help managers understand what kinds of extra pays should be included in the Regular Rate of Pay when calculating overtime?

I know this can vary widely. I'm specifically looking for those with Police & Fire where there are lots of unique kinds of differentials or extras. Thanks!

Take a look at this site along with the link included in the document.

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/56a-regular-rate

Mostly all pay, except those listed in the attachment above, has to be included when figuring out OT pay. If you give pay for years of experience, carrying certain certifications, shift differentials, and the like it all has to be calculated into the regular base pay when calculating OT. As you will see in the article, if you pay "special" pay which has a rate above 1.5 times above the normal pay rate due to working after hours or week-ends, you may be able to exclude it. Read these documents carefully.

Good work, Rob! Hahaha

There are industry-specific fact sheets, too. "Fact Sheet #54 – The Health Care Industry and Calculating Overtime Pay" See if there is one for Police/Fire. Also - shouldn't your system (Infor) be doing the calculating, and not the managers? PR20.2 flags are used to indicate which pay codes should be included in the calculation - include pay and/or include hours.
