This tutorial will guide you through the process of changing the overtime start hour in IceHrm. The overtime start hour determines when an employee's work is counted as overtime. IceHrm considers 8 hours as a normal working day but if your company has a different work hour requirements and an overtime policy, this feature can be extremely useful.
By adjusting the overtime start hour, you can ensure that you get the correct overtime hours from employee attendance records for accurate payroll processing.
