Section 2: Overtime Hours Calculated
In this section, the calculated overtime hours for each employee are computed by multiplying the excess hours worked beyond standard working hours with the applicable overtime rate. This process involves aggregating the daily or weekly time records to obtain the total number of regular and overtime hours worked during the pay period. The employee's standard work schedule is then compared to their actual work hours, with any discrepancies resulting in an excess of hours that are eligible for overtime compensation.

Section 4: Accrual and Comp Time
In this section, employees accrue paid time off (PTO) based on their job classification and years of service. The accrual rate is calculated annually to ensure compliance with company policies and relevant labor laws. Accrued PTO can be used for vacation, sick leave, or other approved absences. Additionally, employees earn compensatory time (comp time) for work performed outside regular hours. Comp time must be taken within a specified timeframe or paid out upon request. Employees are responsible for tracking their accrued and available PTO/comp time through the HR system. Managers review and approve employee requests to use accrued time.

Additionally, the company will implement controls to prevent and detect errors or discrepancies in payroll processing, such as double-entry audits and regular reconciliations with bank statements.
