How Do Overtime Rules Apply to Shift Imports?
In this section, we will explain state overtime rules and their effect on shift imports. Our portal allows agencies to commit talent to shifts, keeping state overtime rules in consideration.
- In case overtime is exceeded, a pop-up message is generated, and then the agency can decide to continue with the same talent for the job or choose a different one.
- In import, we do not allow agencies to commit talents when overtime is reached, and an error file is generated.
