Managing Overtime in Hubstaff

Overtime policies allow you to apply a pay rate multiplier for team members who work beyond their designated weekly hours.

The following guide will take you through creating overtime policies, how to check a policy’s status, what notifications to expect regarding overtime, and the places where you can view overtime in Hubstaff.

Available on Team and Enterprise plans.

Creating an overtime policy

To create a new policy, follow these steps:

Step 1

Navigate to Settings

Then, Policies > Overtime.

Step 2

Next, click on the Overtime tab, then Create policy.

Step 3

Add the policy name, “starts on” date, threshold, multiplier, and team/team members, then hit Create policy. Note that team members need pay rates assigned before they can be added to overtime policies.

Overtime policies start in the next workweek, as defined on the organization settings page.

Overtime policy status

On the Status column of each policy, you will find the following statuses:

Scheduled means the policy has not started and no active time is tracked.
Active means that the policy is operational and time is tracked within the policy.
Archived (on the archive page) means that the policy has been deactivated.

Overtime notifications

Once team members exceed the set threshold and go into overtime, owners, managers, and/or users will be notified via email depending on the notification setting set on the overtime policy:
