Overtime in Clock Card is whatever your job says it is. The app does not apply any country's law; it applies the rules you give it, and shows the overtime minutes separately on every total.
Adding a rule
- Open Jobs, tap the job, and under Overtime tap Add rule.
- Choose the kind: Daily, Weekly or Weekday.
- For daily and weekly, enter the threshold under After hours in a day or After hours in a week, for example 8 or 40. For a weekday rule, choose the day under Every.
- Enter the Multiplier: 1.5 is time and a half, 2 is double time. Any multiplier works, for example 1.25, 1.5 or 2.
- Tap Done, then Save on the job.
Rules are listed in plain words, for example "After 8h 00m in a day · 1.5×" or "All of Sunday · 2×". Tap one to change or remove it.
The three kinds
- Daily: once the day's paid minutes pass the threshold, the rest of that day is paid at the multiplier. All of a day's shifts count together.
- Weekly: once the week's paid minutes pass the threshold, the rest of the week is at the multiplier. The week begins on the day set under Settings › Week starts on, whatever the job's pay period is.
- Weekday: every minute worked on that day of the week is at the multiplier. Use it for Sunday rates, bank holidays you set by hand as a job of their own, or any fixed day premium.
How rules combine
Each minute of a shift is looked at on its own. If more than one rule covers it, the highest multiplier wins and the others are ignored for that minute, so no minute is paid twice. A Saturday minute that is also past the weekly threshold, with a 1.5× weekly rule and a 2× Saturday rule, is paid at 2×, not 3×.
Minutes before any threshold are paid at the plain rate. The Overtime figure on the Clock tab, the timesheet and the exports is the number of minutes paid above the plain rate.
Thresholds and breaks
Thresholds count paid minutes, so unpaid breaks do not move you towards overtime and paid breaks do. A 9-hour shift with an hour's unpaid lunch is 8 paid hours and does not cross an 8-hour daily threshold.
Free and Pro
The free tier includes one weekly rule at 1.5×, which covers the common "time and a half after 40 hours". Daily rules, weekday rates, extra rules and other multipliers need Pro; the app offers it when you add such a rule. See Free and Pro.
Checking a rule
Add a past shift that you know the answer for, open the timesheet and compare. The Pay and rates page shows the arithmetic shift by shift.
