Calculate daily OT using job based overrides to standard craft rules

We need an option to calculate daily overtime based on the rules established for a job as an override to the standard overtime schedule assigned to the employee's craft.

For example, A craft may have no daily ST threshold for weekdays, but require OT on Saturday and DT on Sunday.  When working on a prevailing wage job there may be a requirement that workers be paid OT after 8 hrs. per day.  If the employee's first timecard for the day is posted to his craft and a job without an override OT schedule, then craft OT rules apply.  If his next timecard is posted to a job with an override schedule, then the hours on that timecard are evaluated as per that schedule and may be subject to change to OT.

This option will track a running total of  ST, OT, and DT hours, and evaluate/apply the rules dictated by the craft and/or job on each timecard line making the order of timecard entry critical.

    Kevin - thanks for the correction.

    The new option is indeed called "Posting Seq" and will process, evaluate and apply daily OT rules (both job and craft) based on the order an employee's daily timecards are posted

    We need the option to calculate daily overtime on the job basis and differently if applicable on the craft basis for the same job. Example: Hours worked after 10 - OT for the majority of crafts on a job with the exception of 1 craft if working more than 10 - OT and DT after 12 hours in one day.  Our employees could be working under more than one craft each day, where the DT may or may not apply, but because the overtime schedule is set up on the job it does not recognize the craft separately if more than 12 hours are worked in one day only on that 1 craft.
