Some organization may pay overtime on a daily basis, e.g., overtime for hours worked above 8 hours in a single day. Other organizations set up overtime on per-shift basis instead.
That means if a worker has an 8 hour shift assigned Monday, any hours worked above 8 hours that day will be overtime. But then that same worker may have a 10 hour shift on Tuesday, and so any hours worked above 10 hours on Tuesday will be overtime. Also, a second shift in the same day will reset the overtime from the first shift.
You can enable shift-based overtime under the Pay Class settings:
You'll want to choose "Overtime by Shift", rather than by day.
When calculating overtime per shift, there are two options:
- Sum all hours worked for shift, and apply overtime when the sum exceeds the scheduled duration of this shift. For example, if a shift is scheduled for 9 am - 5 pm, and the worker is present from 9:15 am - 6 pm, then overtime will be applied for the segment 5:15 pm - 6:00 pm, since the scheduled shift duration is 8 hours.
- Apply overtime for all work outside fixed times. Taken from the previous example, overtime will be applied for the the segment 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm, since the scheduled shift ended at 5:00 pm. Some regions call this option "undertime", since the workers merits overtime even when starting work late.
If you use a flexible shift class, then either of these options will consider all worked hours beyond the normal shift length to be overtime.

The shift itself is defined as part of the Shift Class. Here's more information on setting up shifts:

Note that shift-based overtime still requires that the shift allow lock-out periods outside the normal start-end time range.
