Note: On each tab, the user must enter an OT Code and an Overtime Multiplier, the factor by which the employee's base rate is multiplied to calculate the overtime rate.  (See the "Employee Maintenance" section of the Net-Chef Help for more information on employee pay rates.)  The OT Code/Multiplier combination must be unique for each rule type (State vs. Union) to ensure the correct data is exported to Payroll.
