Overtime Rounding is a setting maintained in Rule Maintenance that determines how overtime (OT) hours are rounded before being used for attendance and payroll calculations.
There are three rounding options available: No Rounding, Round Up, and Round Down, with selectable time intervals including 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes, or 1 hour.
Calculation:
Overtime Worked Hours = Total Worked Hours − Shift Working Hours
Acceptable Overtime Worked Hours = Overtime Worked Hours − Excluded Overtime Hours
Final overtime hours are then adjusted based on the selected rounding rule.
Scenario Example:
Shift Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Break: 1 hour
OT Rounding: Round Up
Rounding Time: 15 minutes
Clock In: 10:36 AM
Clock Out: 5:48 PM
Calculation:
Total Worked Hours: 5:48 pm - 10:36 am = 7 hours 12 minutes
Overtime Worked Hours:
Total Worked Hours - Shift Working Hours
= 7.2 hours - 5 hours
= 2 hours 12 minutes
Excluded Time:
Before Shift Time + Break Time = 0 hour + 1 hour = 1 hour
Acceptable OT:
2.2 hours - 1 hour = 1.2 hours
Rounded Up (15 mins) = 1 hour 15 minutes
