Overtime calculated differently for different groups of employees

Step 1: View Gangs

You can specify different overtime rules for each gang of employees. You can create as many gangs as you want. When you add a new employee to the system, he will be automatically added to the ‘Default Gang’.

Since most of my employees are in Production, I’m going to keep this gang for the production department.

Step 2: Create a new Gang

Now, I’ll create a new gang called ‘Office Staff’. Let’s pick employees for this gang.

Step 3: Configure Overtime Rules for the new Gang

Let’s go to Attendance Import Settings to specify that overtime is not applicable for this gang.

Ensure that Overtime is not checked for this gang. Even if an office staff works beyond the planned work hours, overtime will not be marked against him.

Step 4: Re-import Attendance

Now, as we want this change to be applied to the attendance data in the past, let’s do a reimport of attendance data.

Step 5: Review Attendance

As you see, overtime is marked for this employee who is in Production Department. And no overtime for this employee who is an office staff.

Similarly, you can specify different overtime rules for different gangs of employees.

Step 6: Review Payslips

As you see, this employee belongs to the production department and he has overtime allowance on his payslip. Whereas this employee who is an office staff has no overtime allowance in his payslip.

Create as many gangs as you want and specify different overtime rules for each gang. This helps in fully automating your overtime calculation.
