1. How is Overtime Calculated?

You can check overtime hours in real-time report > ‘overtime hours’ related columns.

2. What is Unit Period?

The unit period refers to the period in which working hours are calculated based on the employees' wage rules.
For example, you can set the period to apply the wage rules as follows.

① Unit Period : 1 Week

The unit period of the contractual/maximum working hour rules applies from the start date of the unit period(Monday, May 1st).
From this start date, you can check overtime hours on a weekly basis.

② Unit Period : 1 Month

3. What's the Difference between the Contractual Working Hour Rule and Maximum Working Hour Rule?

Contractual Working Hour Rule sets the ‘working hours’ that an employee must work.
An employee's contractual working hours are determined based on the contractual working hour rule, and overtime hours are calculated if they work beyond this.

Maximum Working Hour Rule sets the ‘maxmimum hours’ that an employee can work.
An employee's maximum working hours are determined based on the maximum working hour rule, and exceeding this becomes the standard for determining maxmimum hours.

4. What is the Minimum/Maximum Overtime Threshold?

① Minimum Overtime Threshold

The minimum overtime threshold sets the minimum time an employee can work beyond their contractual working hours.

Set the minimum overtime threshold to ‘0’ to consider all hours beyond contractual working hours as overtime.
All hours worked beyond the contractual working hours will be calculated as overtime.

If using a comprehensive wage system in your company, set the minimum overtime threshold according to the pre-agreed overtime hours in the company's labor contract.

Overtime is not calculated up to the minimum overtime threshold set within this period.
For example, if set as above, it will be considered overtime if it exceeds ‘contractual working hours + 20 hours per month’

② Maximum Overtime Threshold

The maximum overtime threshold sets the maximum time an employee can work overtime after exceeding their contractual working hours.

In case of the 52-hour workweek in Korea, it is set as shown above in Shiftee. The maximum hours that an employee can work in a week is calculated as follows.

▶︎ Contractual working hours(40 hours) + maximum overtime hours[12 hours/7 days(maximum overtime threshold period) ⅹ 7(unit period)] = 52 hours

5. How Do I Limit Working Hours to 8 Hours Per Day?

To limit working hours to 8 hours per day, set it as follows.

You can only create work schedules up to 8 hours per day, and all other working hours will be counted as overtime in the report.
You can also set it by day/week/month according to company regulations.

6. Contractual Working Hours and Overtime Measurement Standard Vary Among Different Affiliates/Departments Within the Company. How Should I Set the Wage Information?
