Overview
Automating overtime ensures every extra hour is calculated and included in your next payroll run without manual intervention.
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
Under Payroll → Settings → Payroll Settings, ensure you’ve defined all relevant Salary Components (e.g. “Overtime Earnings”).
In Payroll → Settings → Overtime Settings, verify each Pay Code and Overtime Policy is active.
Go to Payroll → Payroll and check the Use Attendance and Add timelogs to salary boxes when generating payroll.
Select your Salary Cycle, Year, and Month, then click Generate.
The system will pull approved overtime entries and apply the correct pay rate automatically.
Tips
Schedule your generate‑payroll run immediately after all overtime requests for the period are approved.
Review one “test” payroll first to catch misconfigured policies before paying the full team.
Troubleshooting & FAQs

Confirm “Add timelogs to salary” is checked and that those requests are marked Approved.
