Overtime Management

OVERTIME MANAGEMENT Overtime is the amount of time the employee works beyond normal working hours. It can be a staff or a worker, Overtime, or time worked beyond a specified number of hours in a week by hourly, non-exempt employees can wreak havoc on the operating budget of a small business. Pay for any hours worked as overtime are paid at a higher rate than regular hours. While there may be times when overtime is necessary and cost-effective, overtime pay can begin to drain your bottom line if not managed correctly. Advance planning and scheduling can help reduce the need for employees to work in excess of their scheduled hours. Proactively managing your employees’ overtime, avoiding surprises, and preparing for the future can reduce your expense, protect your company from financial crises, and improve morale company-wide. Good Books HRMS plays a critical role in helping management to track the overtime of hourly employees. Knowing exactly how many hours everyone contributes is critical to making smart choices and handling potential overtime regulation changes. HRMS fulfills this by connecting to biometric machines and updating the attendance of each employee in real-time, also thereby ensuring 100% precision when compared to manual supervision of overtime hours. Biometric time tracking also avoids timesheet rounding, which typically happens innocently enough but usually falls in the employee’s favor. There is also a facility in HRMS to specify the grace period post the work hours. Usually, it takes a few minutes past the standard work hours for employees to clock out of the concern. These extra minutes may falsely be considered as overtime and would accrue into a huge sum altogether to be paid to the employees as overtime pay at higher rates than their regular hours’ pay. With HRMS, users can easily specify the grace period after a work time. Overtime will be considered only if an employee spends time more than what is specified as the grace time. Employees can also track the overtime hours they have clocked on a day-to-day basis by referring to the employee self-service portal of HRMS or ESS. Tips for Overtime Management Not only does overtime rank as one of the biggest ongoing expenses for most companies, but the correct, or incorrect, management of overtime can mean the difference between huge payouts, and vulnerability to changes in overtime regulations. Here are a few tips you can take note of to manage overtime.

Workload Assessment

Examine each employee’s workload during a given shift. If most employees are able to complete their assigned tasks within their normally scheduled hours, chances are good that you are allocating an appropriate number of hours for the job to be completed. If a large proportion of employees regularly fail to complete their work in a given shift and move from regular time into overtime, re-examine your assigned workloads. You may be asking for too much in terms of daily production or task assignment. Look for ways to scale back quotas or responsibilities so employees can complete their work in their assigned hours. If necessary, hire additional staffers. But the payment will be taken into consideration from the Management whether to pay for the extra hours.

Scheduling Management

Schedule enough staff members during each shift to ensure all necessary job functions are met with no need for overtime work. Having an appropriate number of people per shift will ensure no employees are overburdened and unable to complete their job responsibilities during regular hours. Always have a backup or temporary help available if an employee calls in sick or is on vacation.

Time Management

Sometimes employees need coaching on time management to fulfill their job duties during a given period of time. Give employees tips on how to prioritize tasks, work efficiently and manage their time appropriately. Conduct time management seminars if necessary, and make sure employees are appropriately trained on how to do their jobs, which will help them work more efficiently.

This will help you manage a 40-hour week work schedule.

Employee Monitoring

Keep tabs on how employees spend their time and create a policy where overtime work must be authorized by a supervisor. If you feel an employee is purposely working slow to generate additional income through overtime pay, confront the employee and reiterate the company’s overtime policy
