Daily & Weekly Overtime

Daily & Weekly Overtime settings allow you to adjust the number of hours an employee needs to work to reach overtime in a given workweek and workday. You can also set a wage rate multiplier that will apply to any employee's wage who has reached overtime.

Any hours clocked into after [X] amount will be tracked as overtime in Timesheets.

Workweek Settings

A workweek is a period of 168 hours during 7 consecutive 24-hour periods. It may begin on any day of the week and at any hour of the day established by the employer.

Note: For more information on workweeks, see this resource from the US Department of Labor (DOL), here.

Tracking & Calculating Overtime

Homebase also offers more advanced settings for businesses that they might apply to.

• Track Overtime Across Multiple Locations can track the overtime hours of employees who work at more than one location within a multi-location Homebase account. (Example: David works 34 hours at Location A on Tuesday, and 10 hours at Location B on Wednesday within the same workweek. If Weekly overtime is set to a 40 hour threshold, then David would have worked 4 hours of overtime in that workweek.)
• Calculate overtime for any salaried employees below $35,568.00 will help maintain Federal overtime compliance for any salaried employee earning below $35,568.00 per year. Per Federal regulation, any salaried employees who make less than this amount may be entitled to overtime compensation.
• Notify managers when employees hit overtime will send email, push, and text notifications to Managers in accordance with their Team Permissions and preferred Manager Alert notifications.

Holiday Pay Rates

Holiday pay rates allow the addition of a wage rate multiplier for employees who work on specific dates throughout the calendar.

These dates need to be configured by a Manager with the required Team Permissions. Once they are setup, employees who track time on any of these dates will have the wage rate multiplier applied to their hours.

They will show up in the Holiday column in Timesheets.

Note: Holiday pay rates are not paid holidays. This setting will only work for holidays that employees work during.
