Overtime is the amount of time someone works beyond normal work hours. It is generally used for the pay received for this time, applying overtime exchange holiday, etc. You can configure the overtime parameters for workday, weekends and holiday, including work hour rate, overtime level, attendance status for overtime, etc.

1. Click Time & Attendance > Attendance Settings > Overtime to enter the overtime settings page.
2. Set Work Hour Rate for every overtime level.

   Work Hour Rate is used to calculate work hours by multiplying it by overtime. When you work for certain period after end-work time on workday, you will reach different overtime level: overtime level 1, overtime level 2 and overtime level 3. You can set different work hour rates for three overtime levels. For example, your valid overtime is one hour (in overtime level 1), and the work hour rate of overtime level 1 is set as 2, so the work hours in the period will be calculated as 2 hours.

3. Set Calculate Overtime switch to on and set required information.

   By Total Work Hours

   The overtime of this calculation mode is calculated according to the additional work hours which exceed the required work hours.

   You need to set a period as the valid overtime rule. The additional work hour longer than this period is valid.

   For example, if you set it as 60 minutes, then if the employee works for 59 minutes more than the required work hours, the overtime is calculated as 0. If the employee works for 61 minutes more than the required work hours, the overtime is calculated as 61.

   By Time Points

   The overtime of this calculation mode is calculated according to the additional work hours which is earlier than start-work time point and later than end-work time point in one day.

   You can enable Count Early Check-In as OT and Count Late Check-Out as OT and set one period for each. The overtime is valid when the employee works earlier than start-work time or later than end-work time for a period.

   For example, if you set Earlier than Check-In Time for 60 min Mark as Valid Overtime, and the start-work time is 9:00, then when the employee's check-in time is 8:00, the valid overtime is 0. When the employee's check-in time is 7:59, the valid overtime is 61 minutes.

   Daily Overtime Level

   Check the overtime level and drag on the time bar to set the time range for selected overtime level(s). The total work hours will be calculated according to the work hour rate of the overtime level.

   Figure 1. Set Daily Overtime Level

   Overtime on Weekends

   You can set the rule for overtime on weekends and select the calculation mode. The work hour within one period range should be valid.

   For example, If you set the parameters as follows, then when the employee's work hour is less than 60 minutes, her/his valid overtime is 0.

4. Set overtime rule for holidays.
   Note:

   You can set the period for valid or invalid overtime on holiday and select the overtime level as calculation mode for added holidays. The work hour within one period range should be valid. Refer to description about overtime on weekends in step 3 for details.
