Overtime Management Software — Automate Tracking, Approvals & Payroll Compliance

Track, approve, and manage employee overtime accurately with TeamTrackin. Automate overtime calculations, enforce company policies, and gain clear visibility into extra hours — all without spreadsheets or manual tracking.

What Is Overtime Management Software?

Overtime management software is a digital solution designed to track, calculate, approve, and report employee overtime hours in one centralised platform. Instead of relying on manual spreadsheets or guesswork, HR and payroll teams can automate the entire overtime process with accuracy and full compliance.

TeamTrackin's overtime management software is built to eliminate confusion around extra hours, reduce payroll errors, and give both employees and managers complete visibility into overtime data — from requests to approvals to final payroll export.

Whether your team works fixed shifts, flexible hours, or across multiple locations, TeamTrackin ensures every overtime hour is tracked, authorised, and compensated correctly.

Key Features of Our Overtime Management System

Key Features of Overtime Management
1

Automatic Overtime Detection

TeamTrackin automatically detects when employees exceed standard working hours. The system flags overtime in real time based on your configured thresholds — no manual checks or spreadsheet formulas needed.

2

Overtime Request & Approval Workflows

Employees can submit overtime requests in seconds — before or after working extra hours — eliminating the back-and-forth emails that slow down HR teams.

3

Custom Overtime Policies & Rules

Turn on premium pay and set your own multipliers for weekdays, weekends and UK bank holidays — 1.5x, 2x or any rate from 1x to 10x. Choose which days count as the weekend and your bank-holiday region (England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland), and give individual employees their own multiplier or no premium at all.

4

Real-Time Overtime Dashboard

Get a live view of overtime across your entire organisation. The dashboard highlights top overtime contributors, department trends, and cost projections — giving managers the visibility they need to act quickly.

5

Overtime Reports & Export

Export overtime as CSV or JSON, filtered by employee, status, date range or search. Every row shows the hours, day type, multiplier, hourly rate, amount and currency, who approved or rejected it, and the timesheet that paid it — with totals per currency, never mixed. Trusted by 100+ businesses across the UK and US

Control Overtime Costs Proactively

Unmanaged overtime is one of the biggest hidden costs for businesses. Without visibility into who is working extra hours and why, labour expenses can spiral out of control.

TeamTrackin helps you stay ahead by:

  • •Setting overtime budgets and alerts per department
  • •Identifying excessive overtime patterns early
  • •Requiring pre-approval for all overtime hours
  • •Generating cost reports for leadership review

Automate Overtime Calculations for Payroll

TeamTrackin acts as an automated overtime calculation engine for your payroll process. With premium pay on, every request is priced as hours × the employee's hourly rate × the multiplier for the day worked — so 3 hours on a Saturday at £12.00 an hour and 2x comes to £72.00. Hourly, weekly and monthly pay are all supported.

  • •Automatic overtime rate calculations
  • •Policy-based overtime thresholds
  • •Approved overtime added to the next timesheet

The amount is fixed when a manager approves it, so later rate changes never alter approved overtime, and it's added to the employee's next timesheet automatically.
