Is PTO included in Overtime Calculations?

Question:

Is PTO (Paid Time Off) included in overtime calculations?

Scenario:

An employee worked 40 hours this week and wants to be paid out for their accrued PTO. If I include the PTO in this pay cycle, will they qualify for overtime pay?

Answer:

No, PTO is not considered "actual labor" in 7shifts. As a result, PTO hours will not count toward an employee's worked hours when calculating overtime for a pay period.
