When to use
Deciding whether a pickup is worth it; checking a stub line.
When not to
California daily OT needs extra rules — enter multipliers yourself; this is not a 50-state law library.
Assumptions: Default weekly OT feel; treat regular rate as already blended if you computed it elsewhere.
Worked examples
Input

Input
Blended rate $48 8 OT hrs 1.5×
Output

Blending differentials into regular rate changes OT.
Common traps
- Paying 1.5× on base only while ignoring differentials can underpay.
- Hospitals may use an 8/80 schedule — different trigger than plain 40.
- Salaried RN OT eligibility is a legal fact — confirm with HR when unsure.
