An attendance system offers real-time tracking of employee attendance, helping you stay updated on who is present and who is absent. It enables better control over overtime hours.
Accuracy
Manual attendance tracking can lead to errors and time fraud. An attendance system provides precise data, reducing the risk of overpaying for overtime hours.

With historical attendance data, you can optimize employee schedules to minimize the need for Overtime. It leads to cost savings and higher workforce satisfaction.
Compliance
Ensure compliance with labor laws and regulations by accurately tracking overtime hours, preventing costly legal issues.
Reporting and Analytics

Process In Overtime
1. Define your overtime rules
The software understands your overtime rules and allows you to configure different overtime rules for different groups of employees.
You may have the following or similar overtime rules:
2. Connect the software to Time Attendance Devices
It supports multiple Time Attendance Devices. Communication with devices is fully automated, even when they are in different geographical locations. The software picks data from devices in almost real-time. Connect once, and you can forget the devices; if a device fails to communicate, the software will notify you.
3. Process Payroll
At the end of each salary period, process payroll and Overtime will be calculated as per the payroll and overtime rules defined! During this process, the software generates Payslips and overtime reports.
Type of Overtime Management
Attendance Based Overtime
It can be integrated with the Attendance system, and the Overtime can be automatically calculated from the Attendance. HR will be able to modify all entries and be able to see the calculations, and modify them anytime. A powerful module for factory-based operations.
Pre & Post Shift Overtime
These are crucial modules for Manufacturing, Plantation, and other industries where a large number of employees' Overtime needs to be planned and managed systematically.
Overtime on Week off and Holiday
Mark Overtime on Week Off of Holiday as 'Overtime on Holiday.' It allows you to pay Overtime on Holiday at a special rate.
Overtime Import Via Excel
If HR is required to extract the data from another system or Overtime is handled manually, we can still import the data via Excel format, and the Overtime calculation and process can be done in it.
HR Entry of Overtime On Behalf of Employee
