  Hi CBC1,
  
  Thanks for the screenshot! No stress, we’ll get this sorted. This is almost always a sneaky setting that makes Base hours drop when you add OT. Your Overtime pay item likely has “Automatically adjust base hourly/base salary” turned on, so when you enter OT hours it subtracts them from Base hourly. To sort it out, just untick that setting on the employee’s overtime pay item and hit Save.
  
  Cheers,
