We have been told that commission bonuses, etc. must be apportioned back into the workweeks in which it was earned and any additional overtime pay due to an employee for that period must be calculated and paid. (FLSA)How can this be accomplished?
Eric: Do you do this upload "after the fact"? That is, do you go through, let's say, 5 pay periods and process as normal, and then when the employee is eligible for the bonus or incentive pay, you load 5 records with the various pay period dates entered into the date field (TRD-TR-DATE) and process that for payment? The system "looks back" at the pay during those prior pay periods and performs the FLSA calculation? My initial (quick, not the expert by any means) test isn't supporting this so I want to make sure I understand the outcome that I am looking for. Note that these prior pay periods may have had OT pay and an FLSA calculation performed at that time. ... I know this is an old thread, so I hope you're still there to answer my Q.
That is how we do it except if the payment is for 5 pay periods, we enter 10 time records - one for each week since OT is based on the workweek. If there was OT in any of those weeks, Lawson will go back and recalculate the rate at which the OT was paid and pay any additional OT dollars due.
We do exactly as CarlaM is doing it as well.
Thank you guys so much!!!!!
I'm definitely missing a step somewhere... I'll need to get someone else to work with me on this.
