Daily and weekly overtime, the standard way
Configure overtime per job: after 8 hours a day, after 40 hours a week, or both. WorkTime applies the standard non-stacking rule — a minute is never counted as overtime twice — and pays overtime at your chosen multiplier (1.25×, 1.5× or 2×).
Mixed rates handled correctly
If your rate differs between shifts, overtime is allocated chronologically at the rate of the shift where the threshold was crossed — the same way payroll systems do it.

Monthly report headers show hours and gross pay with the overtime portion broken out, so you can check your payslip line by line.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the overtime calculation work? Per job, you set a daily threshold (e.g. 8 hours), a weekly threshold (e.g. 40 hours), or both, plus a multiplier (1.25×, 1.5× or 2×). Hours beyond a threshold are paid at your rate times the multiplier. Daily overtime hours don't double-count toward the weekly threshold.
- Which week does weekly overtime use? Your own week: WorkTime respects your configured week start day (Sunday, Monday, or any other day).
- Does it handle shifts crossing midnight? Yes — overnight shifts are attributed correctly and count toward the day they started.
- Is my pay data private? Yes. Rates and earnings stay in your account; shared timesheet links show hours only, never pay.
