What is employee overtime management software?

Employee Overtime Management Software helps businesses track, approve, and pay extra working hours accurately. Waggex allows employees to submit requests, managers to approve against attendance, and includes calculated amounts directly in payroll.

How is overtime calculated in Waggex?

Waggex calculates overtime by determining eligible hours beyond the defined threshold, applying the hourly rate, and multiplying by the configured pay multiplier such as 1.5x or 2x. The amount is added automatically to the payslip.

Can overtime policies be customised per role or department?

Yes. Waggex allows HR admins to define different overtime rules for different roles, departments, or contract types, each with its own eligibility, multiplier, calculation method, and approval requirements.

Does overtime connect directly with payroll?

Yes. Once overtime is approved in Waggex, the calculated amount is included in the selected payroll cycle as a separate line item in the employee payslip without manual entry.

Can employees submit overtime requests from their mobile?

Yes. Employees can submit overtime requests through the Waggex Staff App, including hours, date, and purpose, and can track approval status and payment history directly from the app.

Is compensatory time off supported instead of cash payment?

Yes. Waggex supports comp-off as an alternative to cash overtime payment. HR admins can configure whether eligible overtime is compensated with leave credit, cash, or a combination based on company policy.
