WorkRecords uses a convention called Weighted Allocation for distributing overtime when a worker moves across departments or job activities in the same week. WorkRecords' formula allocates the overtime to each department or job activity based on the usage of time worked in each area that week. 

Example:  

Jane Smith worked in both Department/Job Activity A and Department/Job Activity B during a week and generated 8.96 hours of overtime.

     25.13 hours - Department/Job Activity A 

 +  23.83 hours - Department/Job Activity B 

     48.96 hours (8.96 hours of overtime)

Since WorkRecords splits OT proportionately, 51.3% of the overtime spend was allocated to Department/Job Activity A because 51.3% of their hours were worked in Department/Job Activity A and 48.7% of the overtime spend was allocated to Department/Job Activity B.

Remember, Labor Buyers can do an offsetting adjustment in their accounting systems, if needed, to reflect any changes to the overtime allocation to which each department agrees.
