You can allow employees to take time off instead of monetary compensation for overtime. Here's how to set it up:
1. Enable the Overtime Module
Go to:
Configure -> Settings -> Features
→ Turn on “Transfer of overtime”
2. Create a New Absence Type
Go to:
Track -> Vacations and Absences -> Types
→ Add a new type (e.g., "Time Off for Overtime")
✔ Check the option "Set the balance according to the accrued overtime"
3. Set Overtime Balance Start
Go to:
Track -> Working Times -> Overtimes
→ For each employee, set their overtime balance to 0 as of a certain date.
From that date forward, Wemply will track their overtime.
Conversion formula:
8 hours of overtime = 1 day off
4. Submitting a Time Off Request
Employees can now create a leave request using the type
"Time Off for Overtime"
→ Each day requested reduces their overtime by 8 hours
Notes:
Overtime is recalculated nightly (not in real time).
→ New balances appear in the Overtime table the next dayIf you want to limit this option to specific employees,
go to:Configure -> Setting -> General Settings
→ Select employees this applies to
