Exclude FLSA Hours

Maintenance > Human Resources > Earnings Maintenance > Hours Codes

When PERS data is created, employee contributions, based on the type of work, are attached to hours codes. Since hours codes cannot be used to pay shift time, an FLSA Amount Only check box has been added to the Hours Options section of the Hours Code page in Maintenance to allow the exclusion of hours from the calculation of FLSA-eligible earnings. Also, the FLSA Hours check box in this section has been renamed as FLSA Eligible. Selecting this box enables the FLSA Amount Only box.

If an hours code has FLSA Amount Only selected, only the earnings will be used in the FLSA calculation; the hours will not be used to determine whether an employee has reached or exceeded the threshold hours.

Example: If an employee is paid $20 for an hour of court time and the FLSA Amount Only check box is selected on the hours code for court time, only the $20 will be used in the FLSA calculation, and the hour will be excluded.

Note: The FLSA Amount Only check box does not apply if a custom FLSA calculation is being used.
