THE FOUNDATION

Late & Overtime Rules workflows that stay connected.

Use shift timing, grace periods, minute-based escalation and overtime rules to mark late arrivals, early departures and extra work consistently for HR and payroll review.

01

Late rules

Grace and shift start timing determine late arrival status.

02

Escalation logic

When late or early-leave minutes cross the configured mark, the day escalates to half-day — and the severer of the two wins.

03

Overtime rules

Extra time can be identified for approval and payroll.

BUILT FOR CONTROL

Details that make late & overtime rules dependable.

01

Consistent lateness

Late marks follow configured timing rules.

02

Early-leave ladder

Early departures grade through their own escalation ladder, and the severer of late or early wins the day.

03

Monthly late tolerance

A configurable lates-per-month allowance converts each full multiple beyond it into one day's pay.

04

Overtime floor

A minimum-minutes floor keeps trivial overtime out, and the default multiplier is 1.5x.

05

Payroll connection

Rules produce salary-relevant signals.

06

Reduced manual work

HR does not need to calculate every exception manually.
