If a shift extends past midnight, the total working hours must be divided at midnight and calculated separately for each calendar day. Additionally, you can set up overtime hours to be automatically recorded as overtime whenever a candidate works beyond the standard hours.  Let’s get started 🚀 **Step 1**: From the dashboard, select **More** → **Global Settings**.  ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-04-11-2208-AM.png?width=670&height=174&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-04-11-2208-AM.png)   **Step 2**: Go to the **Jobs** section. ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-05-09-3376-AM.png?width=670&height=256&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-05-09-3376-AM.png)   **Step 3**: Within the Jobs tab, find and select the **Shift Job Table View** option. ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-05-31-8837-AM.png?width=670&height=270&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-05-31-8837-AM.png)   Note: This guide walks you through setting up daily overtime thresholds for California.   **Step 4**: Within the Shift Job Table View, navigate down to locate the **Include overtime calculation in shift job charge** and **Use American state laws for overtime** settings. **![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-05-49-0188-AM.png?width=670&height=263&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-05-49-0188-AM.png)**   **Step 5**:Ensure the following checkboxes are selected: - Include overtime calculation in shift job charge - Use American state laws for overtime **Use California law to calculate OT for all jobs** (this option will automatically appear; check it as well).  **![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-06-09-1286-AM.png?width=670&height=225&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-06-09-1286-AM.png)**  **Step 6**: Click the **Add(+)** button to input the California overtime threshold hours per day.   ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-06-30-8179-AM.png?width=670&height=156&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-06-30-8179-AM.png)  **Step 7**: Once the overtime hours for California are entered, the system automatically saves your settings.   ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-06-49-1291-AM.png?width=670&height=190&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-06-49-1291-AM.png)   **Step 8**: Go to the **Shift Job Calendar** tab. ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-07-06-0652-AM.png?width=670&height=251&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-07-06-0652-AM.png)   **Step 9**: Navigate from the board to any booking assigned to the Residential or Facility category (as configured earlier in global settings) that includes recorded clock-in and clock-out times. ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-07-23-0887-AM.png?width=670&height=330&name=undefined-Oct-19-2026-10-07-23-0887-AM.png)   You are all set!
