Example: Create FLSA Bonus That Allocates Across a Coverage Period (USA)

This example illustrates 1 way to create an FLSA bonus earning that allocates across a coverage period.
Terry needs to set up an FLSA bonus earning that allocates across the period in which the employee earned it. She wants to pay the bonus earning in the first pay period in July but apply it to January through June. She needs to include the allocated bonus amount in the FLSA wages, which impacts the premium rates for the pay periods in those months.
When creating an FLSA bonus earning, you must directly reference the amount entered in the pay input or one-time payment. You can't use a related calculation or a pay-component related calculation.
