How to submit the timesheet for overtime hours

In this article, we will guide you on how to enter a timesheet for overtime hours within the Swift Checkin app.

Let’s go through an example:

A worker who starts at 7am in the morning and finishes at 3.30 pm on a weekday with a 30-minute break has worked overtime until 6.30 pm.

The company provides 1.5x pay for the first 2 hours of overtime and 2x pay for the rest of the overtime hours.

The worker has to submit 3 separate timesheets for that day for the purpose of payroll.

1. Timesheet for regular hours—7am to 3.30 pm (time type as base hourly)
2. Timesheet for overtime hours—3.30 pm to 5.30 pm (time type as overtime 1.5x)
3. Timesheet for overtime hours—5.30 pm to 6.30 pm (time type as overtime 2x)

Let’s enter the overtime details with the Swift Checkin app.

Step 1: Log in to the Swift Checkin app with the credentials via a mobile or Swift Checkin website.

Step 2: Click on the “Timesheets” icon located at the bottom corner.

Step 3: On the Timesheet page, under the “Pending” tab, select the project for the specific day on which the overtime is done. This will take you to the timesheet details, including date, project, time, etc., in correlation with the site check-ins.

Step 4: For the regular hours worked (7am to 3:30 pm as in the example)
