This scheme uses the blocks of time worked ONLY to calculate the amount to charge

for crew. Overtime rates only determined by the number of hours worked, NOT when those hours were worked.

Basically it divided the shifts into blocks – so the first 8 hours can be charged at one rate, the next 4 hours are charged at a different rate and the third and fourth blocks of hours are charged at different rates.

So looking at the script – scroll down to the Procedure GetCrewPrice;

 

const

TimeBlock1 = 8; //hours

 TimeBlock2 = 4; //hours

 TimeBlock3 = 4; //hours

 TimeBlock4 = 8; //hours

 Saturday = 6; // Day 6

 Sunday = 7; // Day 7

 SaturdayMultiplier = 1.5;  // used for Saturdays

 SundayMultiplier = 1.75;   // used for Sundays

 HolidaysMultiplier = 2;    // used for Holidays

 // our GetEasterDay function has 3 options for working out the Easter Sunday

 EASTER_JULIAN = 1;

 EASTER_ORTHODOX = 2;

 EASTER_WESTERN = 3;

 BaseRateMultiplier = 1;

TimeBlock1Multiplier = 1;

 TimeBlock2Multiplier = 1.25;

 TimeBlock3Multiplier = 1.50;

 TimeBlock4Multiplier = 2.00;

 TimeAndHalfMultiplier = 1.5;

 DoubleTimeMultiplier = 2;

 

This defines how long each block is so

Timeblock1=8; – This sets the first block of hours to 8 hours

TimeBlock2 = 4; - This sets the number of hours after the first time block – so in this case hours 8 to 12 of the shift

These figures set how much to charge for each of those blocks

TimeBlock1Multiplier = 1 – this sets the charge to be 1x the hourly rate in the first block hours

TimeBlock2Multiplier = 1.25; - This sets the payrate for any hours in the second block to be charged at 1.25 the hourly rate.

 

So for example – if you charge all hours the same you could change all the timeblock multipliers to 1 which would mean however long they worked they would get the same hourly rate.
