OT@2 indicates twice the applicable rate. Double time can arise from state rules, a contract or employer policy. It is not a universal federal requirement for every weekend, holiday or long shift.
How to read this entry
Use the meaning Overtime or premium pay at double time alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
Three hours paid at twice a $25 base rate produce $150 when the row includes the entire double-time payment. Compare the hours with the policy that authorises that rate.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Check whether holiday pay is a separate entitlement and whether the double-time row already includes the basic rate.
