Changing Overtime Start Hour in IceHrm

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.

First login to IceHrm using your admin account and go to System -> Settings -> Attendance and look for the "Attendance: Overtime Start Hour" setting.

Suppose the overtime start hour of your organization is 9 hours. Click on edit, change this value to 9 as shown below and click on save.

Now let us check if this is working properly by adding an attendance record and creating a payroll report.
