I have been conducting test payrolls for non-exempt employees that are either paid over 40 hours and/or non-exempt employees having multiple position/rates, when both positions result in overtime.
I am familiar with a display of 45 hours paid to non-exempt on the PR140 as Regular 40 and overtime 5 while in my test using the PR132 FLSA overtime calculation, the hours are showed as Regular 45 and overtime 5(Both resulted in the same gross payment).
Also with the non-exempt employee with multiple positions/multiple rates, I am getting the total hours worked for both positions and overtime. For example in position 1.Employee worked 32 hours regular + 10 hours overtime at Rate X and position II employee worked 8 hours regular + 10 hours overtime at Rate Y. When processed the PR140 showed 60 hours regular and 20 hours overtime at weighted average rates. Paystub showed 42 hours regular at rate X; 18 hours Regular at Rate Y; and 20 hours at Rate Z.
My concerns include:
1. Running reports for the above hours seemed overstated in hours as it shows more regular hours when processed in Lawson versus Time & Attendance hours.
2. The employee interpretation of 60 hours regular and 20 hours of overtime when accustomed to 40 hours regular and 20 hours overtime
I would appreciate any feedbacks from others who have this system which pays the combined hours and what is the best practice with regards FLSA/DOL.
