Managing staff's overtime rates

Occasionally you may need to pay your staff "time and a half" or double pay on specific occasions and now it's easier than ever. To multiply the rate of a shift, click on a cell and begin typing "x" followed by the number multiplier (e.g. "x1.5" or "x2") and the rota will apply this to the hourly rate for that specific shift. It's important to put the multiplier beneath the shift time to instruct the system which shift to apply the overtime rate to. For example, to pay your staff double-time you would enter the comment "x2" beneath that shift.

We've designed Findmyshift so that overtime rates can also be used in combination with staff breaks, so if there's already a break entry beneath your overtime shift, you're free to place the overtime multiplier above or beneath the break item.

Overtime can be applied to shifts by typing "x" followed by any number. The overtime entry should be directly beneath the shift you wish to apply overtime to.

The budget report takes into account any overtime entered on the rota and then applies that to the actual costs for that particular date. Actual hours remain unaffected.

The hours report will similarly take into account any overtime entered on the rota and will reflect that in the cost and the rate multiplier. This report will also show a total for the amount of overtime worked.
