This section describes how adjustments generated by the Payroll FLSA CA Flat Sum Overtime Adjustment Rule are displayed in Payroll. It also describes how you can modify these settings.
The following is an example of an adjustment in the earning statement using the OT Adjustment earning code that the customer created for this purpose:
The earning also appears in the Supplemental Earnings Statement section at the bottom of the statement, as shown in the following example:
For the Hours/Units and Rate columns to be populated for FLSA overtime adjustments in earning statements, the rule parameters must have the Compute hours and rate for adjustment earning checkbox selected.
Because the rule runs a separate calculation for each week in the FLSA date range, the rate used to calculate the overtime adjustment can vary from week to week depending on the hours worked each week. If the Compute hours and rate for adjustment earning checkbox of the rule is selected, the earning statement shows a separate line for each week that has a different rate, which is shown the following example:
You can prevent the statement from displaying separate lines for each rate by hiding the rate for the overtime adjustment earning code. When you do this, the statement only displays a single line. You can hide the rate for the earning in the General sub-tab of the Earnings tab in Payroll Setup > Earnings and Deductions setting the Display Hourly Employee Rates and Display Salary Employee Rates parameters to No.
Moreover, you can configure the Supplemental Earnings Statement section of the earning statement to display a weekly breakdown of the FLSA calculation for each week. The earnings information at the top of the statement still only displays one line for the adjustment.
You can do this in the Reports tab of Payroll Setup > Report Output by selecting Earning Statement and the selecting the Display Work Week Detail in Supplemental Section checkbox.
The following is an example of the weekly breakdown of overtime adjustments. The rate is hidden, based on the earning definitions:
