Overtime figured for your state, ready for payroll.
Choose your state and MeridianOS™ applies its overtime rules, including daily limits and double time where they apply. Set your pay periods and paydays once, then download a file for this or last pay period with overtime already split out.
Every state listed. Pick any state, or set custom thresholds of your own.
Flexible pay periods. Weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly or every so many days.
Paydays that dodge weekends. Move a weekend payday to the Friday before or Monday after.
Locked pay periods. Close a period to edits a set number of days after it ends.
Overtime rules that match your state.
Pick Federal or any of the 50 states plus DC, and MeridianOS™ applies that state's overtime rules. Alaska, California, Colorado, Kentucky and Nevada carry special rules beyond the federal 40-hour week. Custom lets you set weekly, daily, double-time and hours-in-a-row thresholds yourself.
- California adds double time after 12 hours in a day, plus seventh-day rules
- Colorado pays whichever of its overtime rules comes out highest
- Custom rules either add up or pay whichever comes out highest
- State rules are offered as a starting point, and the final call is yours
Pay periods and paydays, set once.
Pay weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly or every so many days. Payday lands a set number of days after the period ends or on a set day of the month, and a weekend payday can move to the Friday before or the Monday after. A preview shows your recent and upcoming periods with their paydays.
- Work week start is set apart from the pay period for weekly overtime
- Round shifts to 5, 6, 10 or 15 minutes, or keep exact times
- Require approval before any hours reach payroll
- Lock each pay period a set number of days after it ends
One file for payroll, ready in one click.

- Custom dates cover any range up to 92 days
- Double time gets its own hours and pay columns in every row
- Open shifts and voided shifts never land in the file
- With approval required, only approved shifts are exported

Overtime lands on the latest hours
Overtime is charged to the last hours worked, so earlier shifts stay regular. Each shift in the export shows exactly which part went over.
No hour is paid twice
When daily and weekly limits both apply, each overtime hour is counted once. A long day inside a long week never pays the same hour twice.
Closed periods stay closed
Turn on locking and a pay period closes a set number of days after it ends. After that, shifts in it cannot be changed or added.
State quirks come with notes
Where a state's overtime rule depends on company size or wage, MeridianOS™ shows an advisory note when you pick it. You know to check before relying on the numbers.

Questions and answers
How do hours get to my payroll provider?
Download Payroll export for this or last pay period and hand the file to whoever runs your payroll. Each row is a completed shift with overtime and double time already split out.
Are the state overtime rules legal advice?
No. They are a starting point, and you should confirm them for your business. Custom thresholds let you match the rules you follow.
Can I pay every two weeks with payday on Friday?
Yes. That is the default, with payday on the Friday after the period ends. You can change the frequency or the payday rule whenever you need.
Does it handle shifts that cross midnight?
Yes. An overnight shift counts toward the day and week it started in, so its overtime lands in the right week.
