Hourly Payroll and Overtime Report in HRLocker

The Hourly Payroll and Overtime Report is designed to help organizations calculate total hours worked, including regular hours and overtime. This report allows users to define custom thresholds for weekly or daily hours and is configured to reflect various pay rates, such as time and a half or double time. It is highly customizable and includes various payroll components such as projects, bonuses, and leave.


Key Features of the Hourly Payroll and Overtime Report

  1. Customizable Weekly or Daily Hours:

    • Users can define specific weekly or daily hour thresholds for calculations.
    • For example, hours worked Monday to Friday under 39 hours may be counted as Basic time, while hours worked beyond that or on weekends may be categorized under separate pay IDs, Time and a half, Double Time (e.g., over 39 hours, or hours worked on Saturdays and Sundays).
  2. Rounding Rules:

    • The report applies rounding rules as per the settings configured in the Payroll Office for each office.
  3. Report Format:

    • The report can be run weekly, monthly, or for custom date ranges.
    • It is available for download in CSV file format, making it compatible with most payroll systems.
    • Hours are displayed in decimal format (e.g., 7.5 hours as 7.5).
    • For the Sage version, hours are displayed without decimals to ensure compatibility with Sage Micropay.
  4. Employee Data:

    • The report includes all employees with approved timesheets within the specified date range.
    • Each employee is represented by a single line in the report, providing an easy-to-read summary.
  5. Projects, Bonuses, and Benefits:

    • Projects, bonuses, and benefits with associated Payment IDs and effective dates are accurately reflected in the report.
  6. Leave and Breaks:

    • Breaks and leave are managed based on applied rules, ensuring accurate deductions and inclusions.
    • Approved leave and public holidays are included if they have relevant Payment IDs assigned.
