How to Define Extra Hours with Extra Pay

Define extra hours with extra pay in the contract. Every contract has its own definitions.

Define daily extra hours

1. Go to Contracts and choose the relevant contract.
2. In the Work days table, click Add overtime.
3. In the Extra hours field, enter the number of hours that come after the standard hours defined by the start and end times.
4. In the Percentage field, enter the rate at which these hours are paid. For example, an addition of 50% is entered as "150".
5. To add more rates, click Add overtime again.

Tip: Fill in the first day of the week completely with the standard and extra hours, then click Copy to next day to duplicate it to the next day, and repeat until the workweek is filled.

Note: The extra hours you define apply only to employees assigned to this contract. If you see a report with different definitions, check which contract the employee is assigned to.

For example: 8 standard hours, 2 extra hours at a 125% rate and another 4 hours at 150%. The Detailed Attendance report then shows these hours split by rate.

Define weekly extra hours

You can also define extra time on a weekly basis, so extra hours are counted once the employee exceeds the weekly standard. For example: 42 standard hours followed by 10 extra hours at a 125% rate.

Weekly extra hours are added to the last work day in the report. If you define extra hours on both a daily and a weekly basis, the hours on the last work day are taken as those of the workweek, so it is better to define only one of them.
