What is Overtime?

Hours worked beyond the standard workweek (typically 40 hours) that often require additional pay at a premium rate (commonly 1.5x regular pay).

Understanding Overtime

Overtime can significantly impact labor costs. While sometimes necessary to maintain coverage, uncontrolled overtime indicates scheduling inefficiencies or understaffing. Tracking overtime in real-time allows managers to redistribute hours before employees hit overtime thresholds.
