Updated over 2 weeks ago

Overtime in Chime is designed to handle all the nuances of overtime pay β€” whether it’s a company-wide rule, site-specific, or tailored to an individual on a particular day and time. This flexibility ensures overtime is applied correctly and automatically, without the need for manual adjustments, giving you confidence that your workforce is always paid accurately.


Setting up Overtime Rules

  1. Go to System Settings.

  2. Open the Pay Rates section to define or edit overtime rates.

  3. Use the Time Buckets section to control when and how overtime applies (e.g., evenings, weekends, site-specific rules).

  4. Link the relevant pay rates to your chosen time buckets.

  5. Save your changes.

⚠️ Please consult your Customer Success Manager before creating or editing overtime rules to make sure they are configured correctly.


Use Case

  • Use time buckets to apply overtime rules automatically, reducing manual input.

  • Review overtime setups regularly to ensure they still reflect your business needs.

  • Lean on your Customer Success Manager for help with complex scenarios.
