# Create custom overtime profiles

## Overview

With Flexible Overtime, you can create custom overtime profiles that you can assign to your hourly employees.

---

### 

#### Who uses this feature

- Administrators and accountants
- Account configuration is required. Please contact [Technical Support](https://go.servicetitan.com/#/ask) for details.

## Things to know

- Overtime profiles pay overtime based on the rules you create. For example:
  - **Rule 1:** After 8 hours in a day, pay 1.5x
  - **Rule 2:** After 40 hours in a week, pay 1.5x
  - **Rule 3:** After 50 hours in a week, pay 2x
- If overtime rules overlap, the employee is paid the higher overtime rate. For example:
  - **Rule 1:** After 8 hours, pay 1.5x
  - **Rule 2:** Work from 12:00 AM-5:00 AM, pay 2x
- After 8 hours at 12:00 AM, the technician is paid 2x their base hourly rate.
- You can [assign different overtime profiles](/construction/docs/manage-overtime-settings) to all employees—both technicians and office employees.
