Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Accounting for overtime costs, part of Advanced Microsoft Project.
- How you handle overtime in Project…depends on whether people are paid extra for overtime hours.…Let's start by going to the resource sheet.…Salaried employees usually get paid the same…whether they work 40 hours a week or 60.…The Engineer has a standard rate of $125 per hour.…Now remember for a salaried person,…that rate usually covers salary, benefits…and a profit margin for the company.…What happens is to compare apples…to apples in different projects,…you charge your projects that standard rate…for every hour a salaried person works…whether they're regular or overtime hours.…
In other words, you don't even have…to use the overtime rate field for salaried employees.…So let's take a look at how you charge…for overtime with a salaried person.…I'm gonna head back to the Gantt Chart.…On the Task tab I click the top-half…of the Gantt Chart button.…The task Engineering design of course uses the Engineer.…When I click that task in the table,…down in the Task form I can see the Engineer is assigned…to work 32 hours in four days.…
