How overtime tracking works in Buddy Punch

1. Set up your overtime policies

Use pre-set policies like 40-hour work week and California overtime, or set up your own custom policies to specify when employees earn overtime.

2. Assign policies to employees

Apply one overtime policy to all employees, or if employees earn overtime differently, assign different policies to different employees.

3. Start tracking overtime

After employees are assigned to overtime policies, Buddy Punch will automatically identify overtime hours and calculate those overtime hours for you.

Buddy Punch helps you prevent unexpected overtime costs

Overtime alerts

Get an email or push notification (or both) when an employee is nearing overtime so you can adjust their schedule and avoid having to pay unanticipated overtime rates.

Punch limiting

Block employees from clocking in before they’re scheduled or clock them out automatically at the end of their shifts to prevent them from accruing unscheduled overtime hours.

Scheduled hours

When creating employee schedules, you’ll be able to see how many hours you’ve scheduled individual employees for so you don’t unintentionally schedule them to work overtime.

Timesheet approvals

Have managers approve their employees’ timesheets before running payroll to make sure you’re not paying overtime rates because an employee forgot to clock out of work.

Cost savings

Works great

“It’s really easy to use. We just have an iPad set up by our front door, and I printed out QR codes for all the employees. It works like a charm. The break rules are great, and the overtime accrual is amazing. We love it and would really recommend it!”
