    Overtime tracking

    Overtime tracking watches the hours each employee works against the thresholds that trigger higher pay, so a company knows about overtime before the schedule is worked rather than after payroll.

    Why it matters

    Rules differ by jurisdiction: some count hours per week, some per day. Getting them wrong creates both cost and legal exposure.

    Seeing overtime while the schedule is being built lets a manager rebalance hours instead of paying a premium.

    Scheduling flags overtime violations before they happen, and payroll applies overtime rules automatically, including daily, weekly or California-style overtime. Scheduling and payroll are part of the Complete plan.
