Overtime Terms
Overtime (OT) Terms define how employees are rewarded when they perform work beyond their scheduled hours.
Overtime rewards can be configured in two ways:
- Paid
- Compensatory Off (Comp Off)
Paid overtime is currently under development and is not yet supported.
At present, the system supports Comp Off–based overtime terms only.
Term Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Paid | Employees receive monetary compensation for approved overtime hours. (Not yet supported) |
| Comp Off | Employees receive leave credits based on approved overtime hours completed. |
Comp Off Configuration
When Comp Off is selected as the term type, the following fields must be configured:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Min Hours for Half Day | Minimum approved overtime hours required to qualify for a half-day comp off. |
| Min Hours for Full Day | Minimum approved overtime hours required to qualify for a full-day comp off. |
| Comp Off Per Overtime Day | Number of comp off leaves credited per eligible full overtime day. |
Ensure that the "Min Hours for Half Day" value is lower than the "Min Hours for Full Day" to avoid configuration conflicts.
Example
If the configuration is:
- Min Hours for Full Day: 8 hours
- Comp Off Per Overtime Day: 2
And an employee completes 8 hours of approved overtime,
➡ The employee will receive 2 Comp Off leaves.
Comp Off Leave Type Mapping
All overtime comp off credits are mapped to a predefined leave type:
- Name: Overtime Comp Off
- Code: COFF
All credited comp offs are automatically added to the employee’s leave balance under the COFF leave type.
Overtime Reward Processing Flow
- Employee applies for overtime.
- Overtime goes through the configured approval workflow.
- Once fully approved, the system evaluates:
- Total approved overtime hours
- Configured comp off rules
- On the following day, the system:
- Calculates eligible comp offs
- Credits the leave balance under COFF
Comp off crediting is automatic and occurs only after final approval.
Important Notes
- Comp off credits are generated only after overtime approval.
- Partial hours are evaluated according to the configured thresholds.
- Paid overtime is not currently supported.
