Deleting a Spread of Hours Rule
Based on state regulations, your company may be required to pay a spread of hours premium. The spread of hours is the interval between the beginning and end of an employee's work day. Typically, this includes working time, time off for meals or breaks and time off duty. If the employee's spread of hours exceeds the threshold for the labor day (based on Start of Labor Day), the employee should be paid for an extra hour at the rate specified in the rule.
