In the previous videos, we were automating the calculation of overtime. The automation is working well, but sometimes, my employees come late to work and they work overtime after the regular work hours. In this case, I want to deduct the Late-In when calculating the net overtime hours. This video describes how you can configure Lenvica HRMS to get this done.

I had automated overtime calculations for my employees as per the previous video. Now, I’m fine-tuning the settings to make the overtime calculation more accurate.

Step 1: Review Attendance

As you see, on Wednesday, the employee worked 2 hours of overtime. On the same day, he actually came in late by 1 hour. So, when calculating the net overtime, we will deduct the lateness from his overtime hours for the day.

Overtime Attendance

Step 2: Create an Attendance Group

Let’s create an attendance group to implement this requirement.

Weekday Overtime

To calculate the net overtime, we will add the overtime hours and subtract the late-in hours.

Net Overtime

To ensure the result doesn’t fall below zero, let’s create a formula.

Step 3: Review the Group Results

Now, let’s go to the attendance screen to check if the group works as expected.

Overtime and Late-in

As you see, the group now shows net overtime for the period selected.

Step 4: Use the Attendance Group in Overtime Calculation

Step 5: Process Payroll

When you process payroll, the software will automatically calculate the net overtime hours for weekdays.

Overtime hours

That’s all. We have successfully configured Lenvica HRMS to pay net overtime hours when an employee works overtime on a day he came in late.
