Overtime

Overtime is extra pay for hours an employee works beyond their normal working hours.

When to use it​

Use it when staff work extra hours that should be paid on top of their salary — for example, working late or on a rest day.

How to add it​

  1. In the menu, go to Payroll → Payroll Items → Overtime.
  2. Choose the employee.
  3. Enter the overtime hours (or amount) for the period.
  4. Click Save.

The system works out the overtime pay using your overtime rules and adds it to the employee's pay.

tip

If you use the Attendance section, overtime can be worked out automatically from clock-in records and your overtime rules — see Attendance Setup. You only need to enter it here if you are recording it manually.

note

How overtime is calculated (the rate and rules) is set under Payroll Setup → Overtime.
