Organizations may choose between explicitly tracking overtime hours or managing overtime purely as a cumulative balance.

Business Purpose

• Supports different operational and reporting needs
• Enables separation of paid and compensatory overtime
• Allows simplified setups where detailed tracking is not required

System Behavior

Tracked overtime activities

• Overtime is marked directly on shifts using overtime activities
• Marked hours do not increase worked time or cumulative balance
• Paid and compensatory overtime is tracked and reported separately

Cumulative balance only

• Monthly balance is calculated as the difference between worked time and working time fund
• Balances accumulate across periods
• Remaining positive balance is settled at the end of the balance period
