California Payroll

Introduction

In the current system, there is an option to define a single overtime and the same will be calculated during the payroll process, and its going to be further enhanced to have an Overtime Slab for the employees. Therefore the payroll will be generated based on these overtime slabs. In general practice, the payroll will be calculated on days the basis or on the week basis

California State Govt Rule

The California payroll need to follow the below rule while calculating the Overtime for their employees.
Rule 1: As per California state rules, if an employee OT hours falls for both day and weekly, then the highest rate should be calculated.

Requirements:

  1. To set the overtime slab for a different time range.
  2. A new report to generate the payroll process with different OT Range

Dependency
The below screens will have the functionality enhancement.

  1. Settings -> Store -> Overtime Settings.
  2. Settings -> Sore -> Settings.
  3. User Management -> User.
  4. Reports -> Payroll/Role-Based Payroll

Calculation
Let's assume the employee pay per hour is $11. The Overtime slab for Daily will be defined in the Settings as below.

Type
Hrs
OT%
$
Daily



OT-1
4
150
16.5
OT-2

200
22
Consecutive work day:7

Validation :
if the shift is for 8 hours, the system will calculate 150% from 9 to 12th hour. If the employee continues for more than 12hrs then the system will calculate 200% of his regular pay per hour On the 7th consecutive workday, the 1st 8 hours will be calculated for 150%(OT-1) and more than 8hrs the OT will be calculated for 200%(OT-2). The Overtime slab for Weekly will be defined in the Settings as below.
Type
Hrs
OT%
$
Weekly



OT-a

Validation
If the employee works for more than 40hrs in a week then the OT will be calculated for 150% from 40th hr of a week
Payroll Calculation based on California State Rule.

      Rule-1
      if an employee OT hours falls for both day and weekly, then the highest rate should be calculated.

      Case-1
      Let's assume the employee working hours in a week as below.

In this case, the employee is eligible for daily and weekly OT. In this case, as per California state rule system, When more than one overtime rate could apply, overtime hours must be compensated for which overtime rate is higher.

Payroll calculation for weekly:
      Regular working hours: 40
      OT Hours: 31
      OT Pay: 31*16.5=511.5
      Pay for regular hours=440
      Total Weekly Pay= 440+511.5 =951.5

Pay for Regular working hrs: 40*11=440
OT-1: 25*16.5= 412.50
OT-2: 6*22= 132

Payroll= Pay for Regular working hrs + OT-1 Pay + OT-2 Pay
      = 352+165+22
    Payroll= $539
