The Problem
You don't know someone hit overtime until you run payroll. By then, it's too late - the hours are worked, the money is spent, and your labor budget is blown. You need to see overtime coming, not discover it after the fact.
The Solution
ShiftAssignment tracks hours in real-time. Your dashboard shows who's approaching overtime before they hit it. You can redistribute hours, adjust upcoming shifts, and make informed decisions that keep labor costs under control.

Overtime Tracking FAQ
How does overtime tracking work?+
ShiftAssignment tracks scheduled and worked hours for each employee. When someone approaches your overtime threshold (typically 40 hours), they're flagged on your dashboard.
Can I set custom overtime thresholds?+
Yes. While 40 hours is the default, you can configure thresholds based on your company policies or local regulations.
Does it help with daily overtime too?+
Yes. If your state or policy requires daily overtime tracking (like California's 8-hour rule), ShiftAssignment can track and alert on daily thresholds.
Can I see projected overtime before I publish a schedule?+
Yes. When creating the schedule, you can see projected hours for each employee. Adjust before publishing to avoid scheduling someone into overtime.
