How to file Overtime (OT) on a Rest Day?

Did you report to work during your rest day do some work overtime? Do you know how this can be filed on Sprout HR? Worry not! Let's take a look at what you should do to file an overtime on a Rest Day.

Before anything, you must file a Schedule Adjustment and have it approved by your manager. If you don’t know how to do this yet, hop on this article to learn: How to File for a Schedule Adjustment (SA) Application. Remember, if you are working on a Rest Day, you first have to file for a Schedule Adjustment for the system to recognize that there is a work schedule assigned on that day.

Note: Since this is a rest day work, the checkbox should be ticked and the padlock should be open on the filing.

 

If the Rest Day work was rendered from home, then file a Certificate of Attendance (How to File for a Certificate of Attendance (COA) Application) or Official Business (How to File for an Official Business (OB) Application) and have it approved by your manager. You must still file a Schedule Adjustment before doing this.

If you worked beyond the approved schedule, only then can you file an Overtime application.

Notes:

• Any work within the approved schedule adjustment will be paid with the Rest Day premium.
• Any work beyond the approved schedule adjustment with an approved OT will be paid for the Rest Day Overtime premium.

To illustrate more on the breakdown of Rest Day hours, here’s an example: :

Rest Days - Saturdays and Sundays

Approved Rest Day Schedule Adjustment - 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM

Clock IN - 8:45 AM

Clock OUT - 8:00 PM

• 8 hours will be paid for the Rest Day Premium (9:00 AM-6:00 PM less 1-hour break)
• 2 hours will be paid for the Rest Day Overtime premium (6:00 PM-8:00 PM)

 Follow these steps and your rest day work is sure to be compensated for correctly.
