Overtime Calculation Feature

Our passive time tracking app now includes an overtime calculation feature, allowing team admins to monitor and manage overtime more effectively. This feature provides automated notifications when users approach or exceed predefined weekly time thresholds, helping you stay compliant with labor laws and manage billing rates.

 

Setting Up Overtime Thresholds

 

As a team admin, you can set weekly overtime thresholds for each user. Here's how:

 

• Access the Admin Dashboard
• Log in to your account and navigate to the Admin Dashboard.
• Select 'Overtime Settings'
• From the settings menu, select 'Overtime Settings'.

Set Thresholds

 

• Choose the user you want to set a threshold for.
• Enter the weekly threshold in hours.
• Optionally, set a secondary threshold for additional alerts.

 

Automated Overtime Alerts

 

Chrometa automatically sends notifications to users and admins when overtime thresholds are approached or exceeded. This feature is designed to give you advance notice to manage workload and billing rates effectively.

 

First Warning Notification

When a user is approaching the first threshold, both the user and admin will receive an email or app notification.

This alert allows you to take action to avoid overtime or adjust workload.

Second Warning Notification

If a user reaches the second threshold, a second warning is sent to both parties.

This alert indicates that overtime has been reached, enabling you to adjust billing rates or overtime pay accordingly.

 

Managing Overtime

 

When you receive an overtime notification, you can:

 

Reassign Tasks

If appropriate, reassign tasks to other team members to prevent overtime.

Adjust Billing Rates

Ensure correct billing rates are applied when overtime occurs.

Review Workload

Use the time tracking data to analyze user workloads and adjust as needed to prevent excessive overtime.
