Overtime

Overtime Calculation

If No Overtime Calculation is turned on, the OT minutes in the Attendance Record for this Global Working Hours is always zero. 

If Applies to OT Pay is turned off, the OT Hours in the payroll record are always zero even if the OT minutes in the attendance Records are not zero. 

If OT Hours based on Worked Hours - Regular Hours is turned off, OT Hours is the time difference between the actual work-out time and the scheduled work-out time. If the option is turned on, OT Hours = Worked Hours– Regular Hours

The Regular Hours are the Working Hours (defined in Global Working Hours/Shift Code) of the day that the employee is supposed to attend (excluding Leave Time, if the date is taken leave, Scheduled Working Hours = 0)

Where Worked Hours is the time difference between the actual in-time and actual out-time (assumed lunch in/out time is on time) but consider the option OT Hours included Early-Work OT.

Overtime rounding

Other Settings

This page defines various properties including Late-In, Early Out and Short.

Late-In


If No Late-In Calculation is turned on, the Late-In Minutes in Attendance Record becomes zero. 

The deduction in payroll is applicable only if the Apply Late-In Deduction is turned on. 

Late-In Tolerance is the number of minutes after the Schedule In time will treat as Late-In. 

What is Late Tolerance and If last day OT worked over?

The above example is interpret as

If the employee does not work OT on last day, he will be treated as late-in when in-time is 9:00 or more.

If the employee works OT on last day over 2 hours, he will be treated as late-in only when the In-Time is 9:15 or more.

And if the employee works OT on last day over 4 hours, he will be treated as late-in only when the In-Time is 9:30 or more.

If Late-In is zero if In Time is equal to or later than the Scheduled Out time is checked, if the employee work-in time is on or after the scheduled out time (i.e. After-work work in), will not treat it as late in and the late-in minutes becomes zero.

The options for Late-In Minutes rounding are

Early-Out

If No Early-Out Calculation is turned on, the Early-Out Minutes in Attendance Record becomes zero. 

The deduction in payroll is applicable only if the Apply Early-Out Deduction is turned on. 

The options for Early-Out Minutes rounding are

Short

If No Short Calculation is turned on, the Short Minutes in Attendance Record becomes zero. 

The deduction in payroll is applicable only if the Apply Short Deduction is turned on. 

The options for Short Minutes rounding are


Worked Hours

Worked Hours are the actual working hours based on the In/Out time in Attendance Record that is entitled to pay. 

Worked Hours excluded the time earlier than the Schedule In time for calculating the Worked Hrs, whenever the employee work earlier than the Schedule In Time WILL NOT count as work hrs.  (e.g. If the Schedule In Time is 09:00, the time earlier than 09:00 is not counted as worked hours)

Worked Hours excluded the time later than the Schedule Out time is for calculating the Worked Hrs, whenever the employee work later than the Schedule Out Time WILL NOT count as work hrs.  (e.g. If the Schedule Out Time is 18:00, the time later than 18:00 is not counted as worked hours)

Worked Hours covered Late-In Tolerance is for calculating the Worked Hrs. When checked, if the employee is late in but less than the Late-In Tolerance permitted, HRPro will treat it as not late-in and use Schedule In time to calculate Worked Hours. (e.g. Work In Time 9:10 treated as 9:00). 

Worked Hours covered Early-out Tolerance is for calculating the Worked Hrs. When checked, if the employee is early out but less than the Early-Out Tolerance permitted, HRPro will treat it as not early-out and use Schedule Out time to calculate Worked Hours. (e.g. Work Out Time 17:50 treated as 18:00).  

If the Worked Hours excluded the Leave hours is turned on, the total worked hours will deduce the total number of hours that are taken leave by time if the leave is taken within the attendance In/Out time (e.g.  2 hours AL from 10:30 to 12:30). It is good for the company that OT Hours based on Worked Hours are turned on. (e.g. Worked Hours calculated from the In/Out Time in Attendance Record is 8 hours but the employee is taken 2 hours of causal leave in between, the worked hours become 6 hours).

Flexible Working Hours

When defined, the following functions consider these settings,

For example, assuming the regular In-time is 09:00, the Earliest In Time is 08:00 and daily working hours are 8. If an employee takes leave from 08:00 to 10:00, the system counts 2 hours ÷ 8 hours = 0.25 days.

For example, assuming the regular In-time is 09:00, the Latest In Time is 10:00. If an employee's work-in time is 10:30, the system counts 30 minutes late.

For example, assuming the regular Out-time is 18:00, the Earliest Out Time is 17:00. If an employee's work-out time is 16:30, the system counts 30 minutes early out.

For example, assuming the regular Out-time is 18:00, the Latest Out Time is 19:00. If an employee's work-out time is 19:30, the system counts 30 minutes of overtime. 

Leave them blank if it is not applicable.

Flexible Meal Time

When Meal Hours is Flexible is checked, the Meal hours to calculate worked hours will base on the Meal Time Duration (Hrs) (i.e. If Meal Time is less than Meal Time Duration, use Meal Time Duration). Meal-out time and Meal-in time defined in the Working Hours Settings tab are for Meal Late-In and Meal Early-out purposes.   

Flexible Rest Time

When Rest Hours is Flexible is checked, the Rest hours to calculate worked hours will base on the Rest Time Duration (Hrs) (i.e. If Rest Time is less than Rest Time Duration, use Rest Time Duration). Rest out time and Rest in time defined in the Working Hours Settings tab are for Rest Late-In and Rest Early-out purposes.  

Others

When Not Absent is checked, even if the employee has no attendance, Attendance Record will not show the Absent status. Which is good for As-Call employees. 

Attendance Allowance

The Attendance Allowance Formula is a User Definable Formula Field. Please see How to define User-Defined Formula

If per day is selected, the total Attendance Allowance paid for the payroll period is the number of attended days in Attendance Records in the Attendance Period x the Attendance Allowance Formula

If per hour is selected, the total Attendance Allowance paid for the payroll period is the number of worked hours in Attendance Records in the Attendance Period x the Attendance Allowance Formula

In/Out Time Cut-Off Hour for Attendance Import

This panel is available when Treat In/Out Time after In-Time Cut-Off Hour as the next day's attendance records when import or Treat In/Out Time before Out Time Cut Off Hour as last day's attendance records when import (in Attendance Module Setup) is turned on. 

In Time Cut-Off Hour is defined as the time that is treated as the next day's attendance record during attendance import. e.g. If the Work-In is 22:01, it becomes the next day's attendance (because of the overnight shift). 

See What is "Treat In/Out Time after Check-In Cut Off Hour as next days' attendance records when import"? 

Out Time Cut-Off Hour is defined as the time that is treated as the previous day's attendance record during attendance import.  e.g. If the Work-Out is 26:00, it becomes the previous day's attendance (because of the overnight shift or overnight overtime).
