When a worker reports 6 hours of worked time on the seventh consecutive day of work, Workday creates a 6-hour calculated time block tagged with
Overtime
 and
7th Consecutive Day
. If the worker reports 11 hours of worked time on the seventh consecutive day of work, Workday creates 2 calculated time blocks:
  • An 8-hour block tagged with
    Overtime
     and
    7th Consecutive Day
    .
  • A 3-hour block tagged with
    Double Time
     and
    7th Consecutive Day
    .
