How to enter days worked when you're an overtime-exempt worker

Prev Next

Overtime (OT) exempt workers are production workers who are not entitled to receive overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) or applicable state laws.

This means that OT-exempt workers are paid a regular salary regardless of hours worked.

In Wrapbook, a worker’s OT-exempt status is determined by their Employment type details in their worker profile. Your Employment type is typically set by the production company’s administrators when they invite you to join a project in Wrapbook. If you are an OT-exempt worker, you’ll be able to use the I worked this day option on timecards.

Entering days worked when you’re OT-exempt

The way that you enter days worked when you’re OT-exempt depends on if you are a union or non-union worker.

OT-exempt non-union workers

  • OT-exempt non-union workers will be able to click the I worked this day checkbox next to each day worked

  • When the  I worked this day box is checked for a workday, the option to enter START and END times for that workday will be disabled
