How to Configure Night Shift Overtime

This guide explains how to configure specific overtime rules for night shifts within a contract. The system allows for different calculation methods for day shifts versus night shifts, ensuring accurate payroll processing for all employees.
As illustrated below, a day shift and a night shift with the same duration can result in different overtime calculations based on these settings.

Step-by-Step Guide

First, locate the specific contract you wish to modify.

  • Navigate to Settings in the main menu.
  • Select Contracts from the dropdown list.
  • Click on the relevant contract you want to configure.

Once inside the contract, you will define the specific parameters for night shift overtime.

  • Scroll down and click on the “Night Shift” tab.
  • Configure the following fields to define the night shift rules:
    • Check the box labeled Night shift employee to activate the special overtime rules.
    • Set Overtime Threshold:
      In the field If the employee has worked at least this amount of hours, enter the number of hours after which overtime calculation should begin for a night shift.
    • Define Night Shift Hours:
      In At Night Between, enter the start and end times that officially define a night shift (e.g., 18:00 to 01:00).
  • Click “Save” to apply the new configuration.
