Frequently asked questions
Overtime work refers to hours employees work beyond their regular schedule. These additional hours are typically compensated at a higher rate — usually 1.5 times the regular hourly wage under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Employers must comply with federal and state laws regarding overtime pay.
An overtime tracker is a tool that monitors and manages employee overtime hours. It automates recording and calculating overtime, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. HiveDesk provides real-time insights into employee overtime, helping managers make informed scheduling and resource allocation decisions.
Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. HiveDesk automatically calculates overtime at this rate, though you can adjust the settings to match your local labor laws.
Overtime tracking ensures employees are compensated correctly, helps organizations comply with labor laws, avoids potential lawsuits, and maintains a fair workplace. It also helps identify productivity patterns and workload management issues.
HiveDesk generates automatic timesheets showing regular and overtime hours for each employee. You review and approve timesheets, then export the data in CSV format for your payroll software. Overtime pay is pre-calculated, eliminating manual work.
