Overtime allows employees to be compensated or granted compensatory leave for working beyond their standard working hours. Overtime is calculated based on employee check-in and check-out times and processed through Attendance and Overtime Slip records

Create an Overtime Type #

Navigate to the Overtime Type doctype to configure how overtime is handled:

• Maximum Overtime Hours Allowed Per Day: If set, overtime exceeding this limit won’t be considered for payment.
• Overtime Salary Component: The salary component through which overtime earnings are paid.
• Overtime Amount Calculation:
  • Fixed Hourly Rate: A predefined per-hour rate multiplied by total overtime hours.
  • Salary Component-Based: Select applicable salary components. The total amount is divided by the salary cycle’s payment days and standard working hours to determine the hourly rate.
• Pay Rate Multipliers:
  • Standard Multiplier: The hourly rate is multiplied by this value.
  • Holiday/Weekend Multipliers: If enabled, separate multipliers can be set for public holidays and weekends; otherwise, the standard multiplier applies.
