If you create an overtime element with a category of Timecard, on which input will the overtime hours be held?

• A. Overtime hours will be captured in the "Hours Calculated" input value.
• B. Overtime hours will be captured in the "Hours" input value.
• C. Overtime hours will be captured in the "Hours Worked" input value.
• D. An element with "Timecard" category does not create any input values.

Answer: (B)

When an overtime element uses the Timecard category, the hours from the timecard are stored in the Hours input. This is the primary quantity that the payroll engine uses to determine the pay for that earning. Hours Worked represents the raw hours tracked, but it’s not the value paid for this element. Hours Calculated holds the value after any rules have been applied, not the initial input. So the overtime hours are kept in the Hours input because that is the field designated for the amount to be paid for timecard-based earnings.
