Planned Overtime and Its Purpose
Record the date, planned work and employees involved so the supervisor can review why overtime is needed.
Overtime Management Application
Manage employee overtime requests and actual hours for payroll preparation using Sigma HRIS or Forte HRIS. Record the tasks, timing, and approvals so the payroll team works with confirmed data.
Manage Overtime Requests and Data for Payroll Preparation
A record of late departure does not automatically equate to approved overtime. HR must understand work schedules, requests, actual hours worked, and managerial decisions before preparing data for payroll.
Supervisor Approval
Determine who has the authority to grant approval. Decisions must be clear so HR knows which requests can be processed.
Actual Overtime Hours Worked
Compare the planned overtime with the actual hours recorded by the company. If discrepancies exist, determine who is responsible for reviewing them.
Overtime Data for Payroll
Prepare verified results for payroll processing. Calculation rules must adhere to applicable regulations and company policy.
Checking the Variance Between Planned and Actual Overtime
Work may finish earlier than planned, changing the hours actually worked. Check the request against the completed work before preparing payroll data.
Prepare examples of overtime workflows and the process HR uses to review the results. Our team can help discuss the application setup and its integration with scheduling, attendance, and payroll.
Work Schedules and Shifts
Use work schedules & shifts as the reference for start and end times when reviewing employee attendance.
Attendance Reports
Summarize attendance check results in an attendance report for HR needs and payroll preparation.
Compare Planned Overtime with Actual Working Hours
An overtime request sets out the planned work and hours. The actual record shows what happened. The two may differ, so HR and supervisors need to check the reason, duration and approval before preparing payroll data. Keeping this information together makes it easier to explain which hours have been confirmed and which still need review.
Extra work may be needed because of a deadline, a heavier workload or a task that cannot be completed during normal hours. Record the reason and intended work in the request, then compare them with the actual result. An overtime management application helps organize this information alongside approvals. If overtime is frequent, management can use the records to review workloads and staffing. The context matters as well as the total hours.
The requester and approver should use the same basis for checking overtime hours. A late clock out alone does not explain the work performed. During the demo, use a task that took longer or less time than planned and review how the difference is confirmed. This helps the team prepare payroll data with a clear explanation, under the applicable rules. HR can then answer questions about the records without having to reconstruct the decision from separate messages.
Verify Overtime Duration and Approvals
A task might finish early or need extra time. Record the reason for the change and confirm the actual hours before sending the data to payroll. Use attendance records alongside work details and company procedures. In the demo, follow an example where planned and actual hours differ to check the review and correction steps.
Before sending overtime data to payroll, confirm the hours and approval status. Keep requests awaiting a decision separate from completed records. Bring both an unchanged request and one with revised hours to the demo. These examples help clarify who checks the difference and when the figures are ready for payroll.

Overtime Management FAQs
Is leaving work after the scheduled time always counted as overtime?
Not necessarily. HR needs to cross reference departure times with schedules, overtime requests, and approvals. The data used for payroll must still comply with applicable regulations.
What should be prepared for the consultation?
Prepare examples of overtime workflows and the process HR uses to review the results. Our team can help discuss the application setup and its integration with scheduling, attendance, and payroll.
How do I choose between Sigma HRIS and Forte HRIS?
Sigma HRIS is available for on premises and private cloud implementation, while Forte HRIS is cloud based. The choice depends on company needs and IT policies, with guidance provided by our team during consultations and demos.
What is the difference between planned overtime and actual overtime?
The plan outlines the work and the time requested. Actual overtime must be verified against the work performed and approvals obtained before being used for payroll processing.
Why must schedules and workdays be checked when processing overtime?
HR needs to know whether overtime occurred after regular working hours or on a holiday. Calculation settings must adhere to applicable regulations and company procedures.
How should unapproved overtime be handled during payroll processing?
Establish a deadline and designate a person responsible for follow up. Do not mix data awaiting a decision with finalized data.
