What is it and how do I set up the overtime balance?

Plans: Advanced, HR Starter, HR Professional and HR Enterprise. 

The overtime balance is an installable functionality from which it will be possible to count all the hours an employee has been working.

To configure it correctly, we recommend following a few steps: 

  1. Once you have installed the overtime balance from the general settings, in the Schedules section, you will have the option "Overtime balance".

  2. From "Overtime balance" you can set up visibility aspects for your employees and access to manage their overtime. Another configuration you can set is the minimum time after which overtime hours will start to count. You can also define the rules you need with date, hours and multiplier to be applied in the configured conditions. As an example, one hour worked during a public holiday will have a multiplier of 2 hours. This extra time will be called bonus and will be added to the overtime balance and then compensated in a method to be determined.

3. After these configurations, you will be able to access clock ins/outs > Overtime balance and see what you have configured. Remember that the overtime hours will appear here monthly as the balance can be compensated during the month.
