About overtime compensation with time off

Compensate employees' overtime with time off

Activate time off compensation

  1. On your sidebar, go to Settings
  2. In Time, select Time tracking
  3. Select the Time tracking policy
  4. Open the Preferences tab
  5. Scroll down until you find Overtime compensation
  6. Activate Time off compensation

 

Set up time off compensation

  1. Choose how often you want the hour pool to update:
    • Daily: you get a daily update
    • Monthly: hours are sent to hour pool on the very last day of the month
  2. Choose which overtime to transfer to this pool:
    • All overtime worked
    • Overtime that exceeds limit
  3. Define the capacity of the hour pool: hours or minutes
  4. In case you want it to be unlimited, just enable the unlimited option
  5. Decide if you want to activate the Enable negative balance settlement option: if it is activated, at the end of each cycle, overtime accrued will be automatically applied to settle any negative balance.
  6. Click on Submit

Note that negative transfer is not possible, to make sure to reflect in the most accurate way employees' time-off balances. When the time off pool shows 0 minutes, negative hours will not be transferred.

For example, you have a balance pool with 0h and a time off pool with 2h. If you generate -3h, the balance pool will show -1h and time off pool 0h.
