Frequently asked questions.

An overtime tracker is software that automatically records the hours employees work beyond their standard schedule. It replaces manual comparisons with contracted hours, calculates pay premiums and gives managers a real-time view of who’s working overtime and why.

You define the rules, including daily or weekly thresholds by employee, team or contract type. TimeTac flags every hour worked beyond those thresholds as overtime and applies the pay premium you’ve set, with no manual calculation required.

Yes. Overtime rules can be set by employee, team or location, so different thresholds can run side by side within the same account.

Yes. Overtime hours are captured just like regular hours through the app, browser, terminal, NFC or physical tracker, so you’re not limited to a single tracking method.

Yes. Employees can see their tracked hours and overtime balance directly in TimeTac, so there are no surprises at the end of the month.

Approved overtime hours flow directly into your payroll process. There’s no manual re-entry or separate spreadsheet to reconcile before month-end.

No. TimeTac tracks hours, not activity. There are no screenshots or keystroke logging, and employees have transparent access to their own data at all times.
