For example, a technician works: - 46 hours in a week, resulting in 6 weekly overtime hours - 10 hours on both Monday and Tuesday, resulting in 4 daily overtime hours They qualify for 6 hours of overtime. ### CA Overtime with Double Overtime For weekly overtime: | Pay type | Hours worked in a week | Pay rate | | --- | --- | --- | | Regular pay | 0-40 hours | Standard hourly rate | | Overtime pay | 40+ hours | Hourly rate * 1.5 | For daily overtime: | Pay type | Hours worked in a day | Pay rate | | --- | --- | --- | | Regular pay | 0-8 hours | Standard hourly rate | | Overtime pay | 8-12 hours | Hourly rate * 1.5 | | Double overtime pay | 12+ hours | Hourly rate * 2 | If the employee works six days in a row, on the seventh day: | Pay type | Hours worked in a day | Pay rate | | --- | --- | --- | | Overtime pay | 0-8 hours | Hourly rate * 1.5 | | Double overtime pay | 8+ hours | Hourly rate * 2 | > [!NOTE] > **Note:** If the number of weekly overtime hours (hours over 40 in a week) is different from the total daily overtime hours (hours over 8 in a day), the larger number is used to calculate overtime pay.

You can build custom reports that include overtime from the following report templates: - [Master Pay File report template](/construction/docs/master-pay-file-report-template) - [Timesheets report template](/construction/docs/timesheets-report-template) These legacy reports also include overtime: - [Technician Timesheet Summary Report](/construction/docs/technician-timesheet-summary-report) - [Technician Activity Detail Report](/construction/docs/technician-activity-detail-legacy-report) ## Calculate overtime for multiple hourly rates Multiple hourly rates are factored into overtime pay calculations. For example, a technician with the *CA Double Overtime* overtime profile is paid the following rates: - Regular job rate - $30/hr - Training - $20/hr In one week, they log the following hours: - 45 job hours * $30/hr = $1,350 regular pay - 5 training hours * $20/hr = $100 training pay Their hourly pay for the week for 50 total hours = $1,450. Based on their overtime profile, they qualify for overtime pay: - 8 overtime hours - 2 double overtime hours Their overtime pay is calculated using the *overtime premium* and the *double overtime premium*. ### Calculate overtime premium The overtime premium is based on an average of total hourly pay for that week. It's calculated as follows: [hourly pay] / [total hours worked] * .5 In the example, the technician's overtime premium for the week is: [$1,450] / [50 total hours worked] * .5 = $14.50/hr Their overtime pay for the week is: $14.50/hr * [8 hours of overtime] = $116 ### Calculate double overtime premium The double overtime premium is calculated as follows: [overtime premium] * 2 In the example, the technician's double overtime premium for the week is: $14.50 * 2 = $29/hr Their double overtime pay for the week is: $29/hr * [2 hours of double overtime] = $58 The technician's total weekly pay is: $1,450 (hourly) + $116 (overtime) + $58 (double overtime) = $1,624 ## Want to learn more? - Visit ServiceTitan Academy to enroll in [Payroll Reporting](https://servicetitan.docebosaas.com/academy/learn/courses/365/Payroll-Reporting)
