The Biweekly overtime policy can be used to help you calculate an employee's weekly overtime over a two-week span instead of a single week, if permitted for your region or industry.

Calculating biweekly overtime hours differs from calculating weekly and paying biweekly. As it takes both weeks into account, it is possible for an employee to work 50 hours for the first week and not receive any overtime.

Enabling the Biweekly Setting

• Go to Manage and click Company Settings from the menu bar.

  

• Click the Time and Attendance tab.

  

• Enable the 'Use biweekly dates for policy calculation' option. Specify when the biweekly start date should start with the date field/calendar icon.
