How to create and manage attendance policies like overtime, days in lieu, and deductions policy
The first step before configuring any attendance policy is to decide whether Line Managers can decide on the payroll impact of these attendance policies.
A. Decide on whether line managers should be allowed to create an impact on employee compensation
Under Settings > Attendance, you will see a toggle switch as shown below. If the toggle switch is enabled, then it means that line managers will be allowed to create an impact on employee compensation.
If the Line Manager toggle switch is OFF then Line Manager can only either reject - if the request is not to be approved for extra worked hours OR mark as reviewed if the request is to be approved.
Note: If the Line Manager toggle switch is ON, then the HR (Super Admin) and Line manager can both take the same actions i.e. they can add the overtime compensation to the payroll table, deductions to the payroll table, or days in lieu of the employee's time off.
Once we have updated the line managers setting, we need to set the 'Minimum extra hours threshold' value for requesting overtime.
For eg. if the minimum extra hours' threshold is set to 30 minutes, then an employee cannot request overtime if he/she works for 25 minutes as it is less than the threshold value of 30 minutes.
B. Configure Overtime, Days in Lieu, and Deduction policies
Overtime, Days in lieu, and Deduction policy can be configured from the Settings page.
