Are there any laws pertaining to an employee working 2 jobs at the same company. I don't mean in terms of overtime, but rather how the hourly rate for the 2nd job is determined. I understand if they are totally different (clerical versus cleaning), but what if the 2 jobs are similar? If, as part of their everyday job, they are responsible for data entry (approx. 20%) and then they take a 2nd job doing only data entry for about 5 hours a week. Does the rate of pay need to be the same for both jobs, or can they be different based on the pay scale for each job? |

I agree with HRPro that they can be different, but do realize that if they do work overtime, the general rule is to have a blended rate used in the overtime calculation.
There are a few exceptions, but it can get sticky to use them. Most payroll systems should be programmed to be able to do a blended rate. Otherwise, you will have someone doing a manual calc each payroll. And you still might if your timeclock can't handle splitting time between two different jobs by the same person. Personally though, I think it is easier to come up with one rate for all hours worked that blends the wages for the two job descriptions. Much easier to track and understand for both the employer and the employee. |

I agree on blended rate and am now doing it with normal rate say as 13.00 an hour and 8.00 per hour for second job. Unless you keep meticulous records it is better to have your payroll system calculate the blended rate for overtime in any one week. There are sites on web which tell you how this is done. Basically they are paid straight hour rate for both jobs, paid regular OT for regular job and then the blended overtime is for second job. Paychex sets this up well. |
