The Spread of Hours rule defines how the system calculates additional pay when an employee’s workday spans more than a configured number of hours. The rule evaluates the time between an employee’s first clock-in and last clock-out and applies extra compensation when the daily threshold is exceeded.
From this page, users can:
Configure the daily hour threshold that triggers spread of hours pay
Set the minimum wage used to calculate the additional hour of pay
Enable automatic calculation of spread of hours pay during payroll processing
Security
Users must have the following permission to access Spread of Hours record:

These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.
