1. On the top left, select > Integrated Service > Attendance.
2. Select Attendance Rule > Global Rule / Department Rule / Group Rule on the left.
3. Optional: For department rules and attendance group rules, you need to click Add on the Department Rule or Group Rule page, and then check departments or attendance groups on the left.
4. Select Overtime on the right to enter the overtime settings page.
5. In the Overtime on Workday/Weekend area, switch on Calculate Overtime to set the calculation mode of overtime duration on workdays and weekends.

   Calculation Mode

   Select a calculation mode.

   By Total Work Hours

   Overtime is calculated according to the extra work hours that exceed the required work hours.

   OT Duration Calculation Mode

   Select a method for overtime duration calculation.

   Fixed

   Overtime duration is fixed regardless of the actual overtime. You need to set a fixed duration in the Overtime Duration field.

   Actual

   Count the actual duration of the overtime. You need to set a minimum threshold for a valid overtime.

   For example, if you set the threshold to 60 minutes:

   • Overtime duration is 0 if a person works for 59 minutes longer than the required work hours;

   • Overtime duration is 61 if a person works for 61 minutes longer than the required work hours.

   By Time Points

   Overtime duration is calculated according to the extra work hours earlier than the start-work time or later than end-work time in one day.

   You can enable Count Early Check-In as OT and Count Late Check-Out as OT to set the overtime duration calculation mode respectively.

   OT Duration Calculation Mode

   Select a method for overtime duration calculation.

   Fixed

   Overtime duration is fixed regardless of the actual overtime. You need to set a fixed duration in the Overtime Duration field.

   Actual

   Count the actual duration of the overtime. You need to set a minimum threshold for a valid overtime.

   For example, if you set Earlier than Check-In Time for Mark as Valid Overtime to 30 minutes, and the start-work time is 9:00:

   • Overtime duration is 0 if a person checks in at 8:31.

   • Overtime duration is 31 if a person checks in at 8:29.
