I want to ask a question about how the calculation works for the extra pay I give to employees who work weekends.

i have experience with this, I have to say: overtimme pay calculation depends on a few factors then btw gather the data first don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core problem with overtime pay calculation is something else. Think about it like this...

But what is the real risk? Will the business close if this choice is wrong? I'm saying be very careful.

Technically speaking: there are two main factors in deciding on overtime pay calculation. Cost-benefit and risk management. Make decisions based on data.

I have an objection here. When making a decision, also write down the cost of reversal.

Hope this helps.

Let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

I'm in the same situation, that's why I'm asking. When making a decision, also write down the cost of reversal.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

Let me write how it's done in practice. Don't enter any agreement without an exit plan.

I completely agree. Mistakes made on the overtime pay calculation side are usually reversible but expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

How did you solve this? When making a decision also write down the cost of reversal.

Changing habits is harder and more expensive than setting up a system. This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Exactly, and not many people know this. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

I'm writing this so you don't make the same mistake. When making a decision also write down the cost of reversal.

Let me summarize what's been said so far. Everyone rushing into overtime pay calculation gets stuck at the same point.

If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later. Just leaving this note it might be useful.
