Brent,
Well, that kind of depends whether the overtime is planned or actual. If
the overtime is scheduled, then simply enter the estimated value into
the Overtime Work field, although this won't isolate overtime to
weekends only. To set it for weekends only, you would need to use one of
the Usage views (Task or Resource) and enter the timescale values (right
side of screen) for overtime work on weekends.

A similar process would be used if the overtime is not planned but
occurs as the result of actual events. In that case again use one of the
Usage views and show the Actual Overtime Work timescaled value. Enter
the overtime as it occurs, whether it is on a weekend or on a weekday.
As long as you have also entered overtime pay rates on the Resource
Sheet, all cost fields will automatically pick up the overtime cost.

Hope this helps.
