Calculating Overtime
Calculating overtime can be a little difficult as often times people will book you on a 10 or 12 hour day, but then when you go into overtime you need to figure out your hourly without hours of overtime confusing things with your day rate.
If your day rate is based on an 10 hour day, divide by 11 to determine your hourly rate. If it's based on a 12 hour day, divide by 14 to get your hourly rate. Then multiply by 1.5x or 2x to get your overtime rate. Hours 8-12 are 1.5x, 12-16 are 2x.
This article delves deeper into explaining this.
Invoice

Timecard
