How it is calculated
Overtime hours up to the threshold are paid at the first multiplier, hours beyond it at the second: pay = hourly rate × (hours up to threshold × first multiplier + hours beyond threshold × second multiplier).
The multipliers and threshold here are editable fields, not built-in constants: these figures differ by country, industry and collective agreement, and in some places overtime is compensated differently altogether (time off instead of pay). The common practice of 1.5× for the first hours and 2× for the rest is shown as a starting point, not as a rule that applies everywhere.
Effective multiplier = overtime pay ÷ (overtime hours × hourly rate) — how much more expensive overtime works out to be on average per hour, accounting for the fact that some hours may fall under one multiplier and some under the other.
