Explains how to manually record overtime or different types of time in your timesheet. Also click here for information on how to automatically calculate overtime after the timesheet is submitted.
Create Timesheet with Overtime
To record overtime, you can create a new timesheet or edit an existing one. Here we have created a new timesheet, selected a task/project with time type as Standard Time. To manually enter overtime do the following:
- Make the time-type column visible if necessary. In the time type column, click on the cell and a dropdown will open, select the overtime type, for example 'Weekday Overtime'. Your system administrator will set up overtime types
- Enter hours in the days cell, e.g. 4h each for Tuesday and Wednesday
- Sum of all overtime booked in the timesheet will appear in the general tab as Overtime. Even if you do not select or enter any overtime, any hours booked above your maximum work-schedule hours will appear as Overtime
- Click on 'Save' icon if you wish to add more time in future, else click on submit.
What does Overtime Impact ?
Overtime typically impacts how much you are paid, for example some people may be paid 1.5x their base salary for work done during holidays or in excess of 40 hrs/week. Refer to the section on overtime for more information on overtime and to the section on pay calculation for how overtime influences gross pay.
Very occasionally it is possible to bill customers at a different rate for overtime vs. normal time, by adjusting or setting a billing ratio in the time-type.
