Combination Job Regular Rate
| Description | Ensures that employees who work two jobs at different pay rates are paid at the higher rate for all hours worked. For example, if an employee is assigned to perform the work of a higher compensated classification for fewer than the configured daily hours threshold, s/he shall be paid the rate of the higher classification for all such hours worked. If an employee is assigned to perform the work of a higher compensated classification for hours equal to or greater than the configured daily hours threshold in one shift, s/he shall be compensated at the higher rate for the entire shift. If an employee is assigned to perform the work of a higher compensated classification for equal to or greater than the weekly-rate days threshold in any week, s/he shall be compensated at the higher rate for the entire week. | |
| Parameters | Parameter | Description |
| Daily Hours Threshold | The threshold, in hours, that determines whether to pay at the higher rate for any given day. For example, an employee's regular rate is $16/hr, but, on Tuesday, the employee performs the responsibilities of a job that is normally paid at $19/hr for a total of 3 hours. If the Daily Hours Threshold is set to 4, the employee will be paid 3 hours at $19/hr, and the rest of the shift will be paid at the employee's regular rate. If the Daily Hours Threshold is set to 3, all hours that the employee worked on Tuesday will be paid at the higher rate. | |
