California Overtime Calculation
Hello,
I'm looking for a formula that will calculate overtime. But here's the problem... We do business in California and are required to pay overtime for any hours 1.) worked over 8 hours in a day 2.) worked over 40 hours in a week and 3.) worked on the 7th consecutive day (in our case Sunday when hours have been worked Monday through Saturday). I can figure out the overtime for each requirement but I'm trying to get an overtime calculation in one cell with all three criteria being met. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe D. |

Hi Joe
Nothing would beat a supersexy oneliner here, but for a task like this I'd probably go for a lot of helper cells, some dealing with its own single requirement and others coordinating them. I think you must post pretty detailed where what is entered how to get working suggestions on this, there are all kinds of timesheets out there. HTH.

Hi, Harald:
I agree WRT to the need for helper cells. There is too much room for "double counting" here, i.e. a week with 5 days, with 8, 8, 8, 8, and 10 hrs/day, puts the total at 42 hours but I would assume only counts as 2 hours overtime (not 2 hours for 8 hr/day PLUS 2 hours for 40 hr/wk). But the OP need to clarify what the priorities are in situations like this. And it won't work to weasel out of it by saying "that won't ever happen", because it definitely will, probably in the first month <g.

Actually, the 8 per day and 40 per week are fairly simple to handle if there should be no double counting of overtime hours. =MAX(0,SUM(DailyHoursWorked)-40-SUMIF(DailyHoursWorked,"8") +8*COUNTIF(DailyHoursWorked,"8"))+SUMIF(DailyHour sWorked,"8") -8*COUNTIF(DailyHoursWorked,"8") The harder problem is 6 consecutive workdays. If an employee works 8 straight days, 7, 9, 7, 9, 7, 9, 7, and 9, what are the total overtime hours? In other words, does the start of a new 7 day period reset the overtime clock? |
