Hi

Im working on an spreadsheet to calculate wages for employees

Im trying to create a formula to calc their overtime. Ive currently got a column showing how many hours over they have worked, and a column showing how many hours theyve been off that week. then a 3rd column showing the net of these two columns.

normally id just have it calc the net hours times by their hourly rate, but we pay and overtime rate of 1.5hours.

The trouble comes when someone is off for more hours than they work over. lets say someone misses a day and are therefore 8 hours down this week, the formula thinks theyve been off for 8 x 1.5 hours.

Can anyone help me out?

And feedback would be greatly appreciated

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
What id like to have is a formula that determines if the net hours figure is positive or negative and applies the correct rate as applicable

Try something like

=IF(net hours > 0,net hours * hourly rate * 1.5, net hours * hourly rate)
