In restaurants many people work evenings, weekends and public holidays. That means unsocial-hours pay and overtime affect almost every payroll run. Small time-tracking errors quickly become expensive.
What are unsocial hours and overtime?
Unsocial-hours pay is paid for work at times set out in the collective agreement, often evenings, nights and weekends. Overtime is work beyond ordinary working hours. Exact rates are set by your collective or employment agreement.
Common mistakes
- Clocked time is not compared to the schedule, so overtime is missed
- Shifts that pass midnight are calculated incorrectly
- Last-minute changes are entered by hand and forgotten
- Public holidays are handled manually every year
Making it simpler
Let staff clock in and out digitally and compare automatically with the schedule. Approve deviations before payroll. When rules live in the system, supplements are calculated automatically.
