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:
- To set the overtime slab for a different time range.

Dependency
The below screens will have the functionality enhancement.
- Settings -> Store -> Overtime Settings.
- Settings -> Sore -> Settings.
- User Management -> User.

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

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.

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
