Hi Matthew. The new setting will override the daily setting as the program cannot do both. So, if you disable the weekly OT setting it will default to using the daily one.

That did it, thanks. 

I had a similar question... In 5-2-2: Options I selected "Default OT > 40 hrs/week;" however, the pay rate doesn't change automatically when > 40 hours. I thought the system was supposed to catch this somehow, or at least provide a little help to remove the manual calculation process...?

Hi, adjony. I'm not sure how you are entering in the time, but if you are on a new timecard line and the previously entered hours are >= 40, then when you move across the new timecard line from field to field, when you hit the Pay Type field it defaults to 2 - Overtime, then when you hit the Pay Rate field it will default to the employee's OT rate (or the Paygroup OT rate). It will not change anything that's already there. Only works for new timecard lines where the type and rate are blank.

I was entering the time row by row in 5-5-2; however, I think what I did was select the "Default OT" option AFTER I had already entered hours > 40, and even though I deleted lines to try and re-create the scenario, I think the record kept its previous state (before selecting the "Default OT"). I tried it on a brand new record and yes, the system automatically changed the pay type to 2-OT. That worked great; however, I guess I was hoping the system would have been a little smarter and adjusted/split the line to cut off the hours at 40, or at least gave me a popup message to indicate that the one line item needed to be split in order to cap the hours at 40 hrs (because now the line shows 44 reg hrs instead of 40, like it should read). Any workarounds for this, or is this just the way it is? I'm working with a company that's transitioning away from Quickbooks, and I'm getting blasted with the proverbial: "QB does payroll so much better... etc." so I was hoping Sage 100 might be a little more help in that area.
