How does Overtime Alert work?

The restaurant's POS or labor management system generates an overtime alert if an employee is approaching or exceeding their scheduled hours of work, thus triggering the potential for overtime pay.

Employers suffer when they pay overtime. Overtime hours cost $22.50 per hour for an employee who earns $15/hr. This 50% increase adds up fast. A mistake can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars per employee, per pay period, on top of the normal. These additional costs reduce the employer's profit.

Overtime Alerts assist restaurants in handling labor effectively while staying compliant with labor laws. Overtime Alerts assist in:

• Minimizing Additional Overtime Expenses
• Ensuring Compliance with Wage and Labor Regulations
• Maximizing Staff and Shift Planning
• Enhancing Overall Payroll Accuracy

The employee's clock-in and out of the system is recorded as each of these time stamps is made in real-time. As an individual employee approaches the defined hour limit of the specific time period, being 40 hours for many regions, the system will alert the manager about the same. This will give the manager the ability to make whatever changes he/she sees fit to lessen the total cost of labour.
