How do I override calculated overtime rate or amount on a payroll check?

Payroll checks

Using an overtime pay code to enter an exception on a payroll check will use the rate on the overtime pay code to calculate the overtime amount. You can override the calculated overtime amount and replace it with a different overtime amount.

For example, if Jerry enters an overtime pay code and then Jerry makes an exception on the overtime rate because Jerry wants to use a special calculation to calculate overtime. Jerry clicks on the Rate box in the Enter Payroll Check view and enters a new rate. Now, the routine will use the new rate to calculate the overtime amount.

This feature is available in the 2022.08 release. In earlier versions, to change the calculated overtime rate or amount would mean setting up a new overtime pay code with the new overtime calculation rate.
