The Overtime feature in POS Time Tracker lets you set a weekly overtime threshold (for example, 40 hours/week). Once set, your reports will automatically break down each staff member’s Regular Hours and Overtime Hours, and calculate pay with overtime billed at 1.5×.
Why Use Overtime?
Overtime is easy to miscalculate when you’re reviewing multiple shifts, edits, or week-spanning date ranges. Weekly overtime tracking helps you:
Quickly see which hours are regular vs. overtime
Keep payroll review consistent week to week
Calculate pay totals using the staff member’s hourly rate
Set Up Weekly Overtime
Open Settings
From your Shopify admin, open the POS Time Tracker app and click Settings.
Confirm your “Week starts on” setting
Choose whether your week starts on Sunday or Monday. This determines how weekly totals (and overtime) are grouped.Set your weekly overtime threshold
In Overtime, enter a value for Overtime starts after (hours per week) (example: 40).Disable overtime (optional)
To disable overtime calculations, leave the threshold blank.
Where You’ll See Overtime
Once a weekly threshold is set, overtime shows up in:
Daily Summary report: Regular Hours, Overtime Hours, Total Hours, and Total Pay
Staff member time view: shift rows include Regular Hours, Overtime Hours, and Amount
CSV exports from the Daily Summary report include Regular/Overtime hour columns
How Overtime Is Calculated
Overtime is calculated weekly, based on your Week starts on setting.
Hours above the weekly threshold are counted as Overtime Hours.
Overtime pay is calculated at 1.5× the staff member’s hourly rate.
Notes / Troubleshooting
Overtime is blank everywhere: Make sure the weekly threshold is set (not blank).
Totals don’t match your payroll week: Double-check Week starts on in Settings.
Pay looks like $0.00: Confirm the staff member has an Hourly Rate set.
Important: Overtime rules vary by region and employee type. POS Time Tracker calculates overtime based on your configuration, but it isn’t legal or payroll advice.
