## How the premium estimate is calculated

The estimate is calculated using Qualified OT hours and the applicable employee rate.

**Formula:**

Base rate × 0.5 × Qualified OT hours.

### Inputs used

- Employee pay rate or job rate.
- Qualified OT hours.

If the employee is salaried, WorkEasy converts salary to an hourly rate using the existing salary conversion logic.

Weighted or blended rates are not used in this version.

## Troubleshooting

### The premium icon is not visible

- Confirm Qualified OT hours are greater than 0.
- Confirm the employee has a pay rate or job rate configured.
- Confirm the viewer has the **View Pay Rates** privilege.

If any condition is not met, the icon remains hidden.
