When to use
You were told we are on 8/80; modeling a dense two-week block.
When not to
Legal audits or union grievances — this is a sketch, not counsel.
Assumptions: Daily OT hours ≈ max(0, day hours − 8) × days; period hint = max(0, period hours − 80). Do not double-count without care.
Worked examples
Input
12h × 6 days Rate $45 1.5×

Daily OT hrs 24 OT pay sketch $1,620
Input
8h × 10 days

Little daily OT; period at 80
Common traps
- Real 8/80 rules are nuanced — HR wins.
- Do not double-pay the same hour as daily and period OT.
- Many RNs are on 40-hour weeks, not 8/80.
