Daytime, night, rest day and holiday overtime

With Zeprub, overtime is recorded, approved and reaches payroll already split by type. The system calculates the hours and classifies them by the time and the day they were worked.

How it's classified

Each overtime entry has a date, a start time, an end time and an activity. Zeprub calculates the hours and gives them a type:

  • Daytime or night, based on the night hours you set up
  • Rest day, if it's a day off according to the employee's schedule
  • Holiday, if it's a holiday in your country or one your company added

Where it comes from

The employee records it from their portal. If they clock out after their schedule, Zeprub suggests those hours as overtime, starting from the minutes you choose. Your manager can also add overtime by hand or from Excel.

If a time range starts during the day and ends at night, Zeprub splits it into two types. Zeprub counts hours: your payroll calculates the amount to pay with your country's rules.

Who approves it

Overtime goes first to the employee's supervisor. If you want, your manager approves it afterward too. If the supervisor doesn't answer within the days you choose, it goes to your manager.

No one can approve their own overtime. If someone records overtime on a day with no punches or with an absence, Zeprub warns about it when it's recorded and when it's approved.
