(FEATURE REQUEST) TX Compliant Idle Time Pay

[michaelanton]

In Texas, the law says that "idle" time must be paid at least at minimum wage.  If the hours paid for "idle" time plus the hours paid for "working" time result in overtime (excess of 40/wk), the "weighted average" method must be used to calculate the appropriate overtime rate.

This is summarized in this page by the Texas Workforce Commission: https://www.twc.texas.gov/news/efte/c_waiting_or_on_call_time.html 

ServiceTitan currently lacks:

1. The ability to pay "idle" time at minimum wage (rather than "no pay")
2. The automated calculation of the appropriate overtime, based on the "weighted average" method defined by the TWC
